Roadmap

As of january 28 2004, the short term development plans include the following items.

• Add the copyright notices in each program file.
• Insure that the coding practices are being implemented.
• Polish the visual appearance: icons for the tabs and buttons, background, lines and labels in the control flow viewer...
• When a trace is opened, start a background thread to precompute the system state and memorize it after each ~100 000 events. Have the option to save the precomputed state when a trace is closed. Use the precomputed state if available when opening a trace or seeking in a trace. Use the same thread for computing statistics.
• Update module.c to ease changing a module into a builtin feature.
• Split processTrace into tracecontext and processtrace.
• Insure that g_info logging is generally available but off by default.
• Document each header file such that developer documentation can be extracted automatically using Doxygen.
• Complete the user and developer documentation.
• Test the viewer on large SMP traces. Insure that 2GB files do not cause crashes. Note and fix unduly long delays.
• Add C99 test (declaration of variable inside a function) to configure.in
