/** \page FutureTasks Future tasks and ideas for the next release of KDevelop
\section codereftodo Code Refactoring / Improvements:
- Core
- Make sure all lib interfaces are available via DCOP
- Find a nicer way to remove dynamic menu entries from context menus
- Resolve the path handling mess
- Project name should be able to contain spaces
- Import existing directory: Should be named "Import existing project"
and more intuitive (wizard-like)
- Question from the wizard: "I have found C++ files in your
project directory. Should C++ be the primary language of your
project?" User: [Yes/No] => Next Step...
- Something intuitive for the binary/-ies (for debugger and
execution of program), libtool ([Yes/No] for the debugger), build
tool (qmake, automake,...?), etc.., too.
- use mimetype to determine code files, not extension
(see bug #
- Make the help buttons (that we already have) open the KDevelop Handbook on
the correct page (or the index if the subject is not covered yet).
- New and improved VCS framework (Needs better description)
- Another look at the plugin system (Nees better description)
- Another look at the project files (shared, non-shared, session)
- fix(redesign?) project language switching
- editor handling could be made a bit saner if editor plugin switching was an after-restart-only feature
- Programming Language Support Parts
- Create base classes for language support parts:
- AntlrLanguageSupport
- AntlrBackgroundParser
- AntlrProblemReporter
- Same for:
- YaccLanguageSupport
- YaccBackgroundParser
- YaccProblemReporter
- There is a possibility to create even something like
- LanguageSupportBase
Look at java, pascal and ada support parts to get more inspiration.
There should be base classes for ada, java and pascal language supports - too much code duplication.
- CppSupportPart
- Extended "make member" functionality - run on a .h to implement stubs for all unimplemented non-abstract methods
- Code Refactoring
- text hint type info tooltips (edit mode)
- text hint value info tooltips (debug mode)
- Make the language plugin know stuff like what file patterns to look for (for instance, "find in files" needs this)
- Build tools Parts
- Show .po files in project management
- Custom actions for groups, targets and files for project managers:
- any menu item should be a KAction plugged into KPopupMenu, also we need to define shortcuts for any such action,
also we should make sure those actions are properly executed from a shortcut.
- AutoProjectPart
- Should be able to DND files from other targets / file list / konq to add to targets
- Should loose the experimental crashy and nonstandard "add files" dialog
- Update configure.in when sub projects are added and the project doesn't use am_edit
- Keep the correctly cased project name and save it to the project file
- Debugger Parts
- Create a debugger support base classes. Make the current GDB support a plugin.
- Implement parts for other debuggers i.e. DBX, WDB, Ladebug, JDB, XDB, bashdb, the Perl debugger, or the Python debugger.
We can use DDD as inspiration.
- General debugger
- variable widget
- set variable by editing the value in the tree
- cast value by editing the type in the tree
- disassembly
- add breakpoint display
- set breakpoint by selecting a line as in the edit window
- allow scrolling of disassembled code about and below current limits
- add source to disassembled code as comments
- basically just re-work the whole disassemble window :)
- Bugs
- Fix "core file" handling
- Fix "attach to" handling
- Breakpoints can disappear at odd times
- When the target program crashes, the debugger can't be started again. (intermittant?)
- Break on method() - could have multiple methods which require a choice. How to handle this?
- Plugins
- DocTreeViewPart
- Implement plugin system for doctreeview.
- improve documentation browsing
- Check if a man page exists before offering the context menu item 'Goto manpage'
- right click -> set as bookmark in docviewer
- ClassViewPart
- Implement language-dependant plugin system for classview:
- namespaces/classes/functions are not always applicable to a language, we need a way to correctly
fill a class view and combo boxes - only a language support can do that properly.
- Distinguish vanilla c++ support from c++ + Qt extensions and show signals/slots in the class view only with Qt. (is this still valid?)
- KonsoleViewPart
- Perhaps use konsole part for the application frontend
- cd's when selecting a file, but doesn't when selecting a dir,
desired: a menu option to "cd" to that directory
- QEditor
- Replace editors/qeditor/koReplace.* and editors/qeditor/koFind.* with kdelibs/kutils/kreplace.* and kdelibs/kutils/kfind.*
\section extensiontodo Extensions / New Functionality:
- Core
- implement multiple-views per document (why?)
- Document manager (not obviously useful)
- Implement Add Plugin
- Show intro page on startup
- Programming Language Support Parts
- Build tools Parts
- Plugins
- better sourcenav part (all navigation tools should be supported with at least a "back" action - forward much less important)
- Integrate kontact's TODO-List and knotes plugin. (We need something like a
server/client system that all the knotes/toto-clients are always synced.)
- a generic macro-tool (if possible, probably best implemented as a KTE plugin)
- Free grouping of files in file group plugin
\section misctodo Miscellaneous (and possibly invalid) items:
- UI bugs
- Editor options dialog missing when all views are closed (virtually impossible to fix)
- If you click an error in the output view, "Next Error"/"Previous
Error" should then start from that point (already implemented?)
- Messages in status bar would look nicer if they appeared with
the same border as other items (impossible)
- Browser tool bar should truncate long menu entries so it doesn't
take so much space (already implemented?)
- Extend KDevPlugin-API in order to have a preferred border for at
least the selection parts (Automake Manager, Class Browser, File
Groups, etc...)
