The --last position, should therefore be rewritten to be relative to the --first position. alternatively, implement a --skip parameter that skips past the max_int number of bytes X number of times (--skip X) would skip X*max_int bytes. alternatively, implement support for specifying metric unit symbols (such as 100m for 100 megabytes). -- implement the "time" functonality to represent a unit of time (unlike the normal system, this unit of time is say milliseconds in any given year that can continue on until max_int). - -- implement the "data" unit that using the metric system more appropriately, such that a data is a single byte. - 1 megadata in base 10 is (10^6)*8 = # of bits, and 1 megadata in base 16 s (16^6)*8 = # of bits. - -- console processing code needs to ignore unknown codes (namely, negative/positive numbers like: -3 or +4) (do not consider these parameters). - - Research/Implement optimizaton by using pointers to reduce the complexity of processing multi-depth structures, such as fss_nest: this: nests->array[nests->used].array[index].array[0] = xxx; @@ -37,58 +19,19 @@ This file contains FLL-wide todo notes. current->array[0] = xxx; The idea is that in the first case, thee is a lot more dereferencing needing to be performed whereas the second case, the massive dereferencing happens only the first time and then all subsequent calls have simpler dereferencing. -- Add support for truncating whitespace before and after the name: - 1) When selecting by object name 'ex ample' could then match ' ex ample '. - 2) When printing the object name by itself, 'ex ample' would be printed instead of ' ex ample '. - 3) Use -T/--trim to remove whitespace both before and after for all FSS read programs (just like PHP trim). - 4) The leading whitespace on newlines that are to support such need not be trimmed automatically unless -T/--trim is passed. - -- Add support for printing line numbers, including when printing objects. - - Consider adding support for printing selection identifiers, such as the second object will have an id of 2, even if it is 100 lines down. - -- The leading and trailing whitespaces in names should be ignored when selecting and printing. - -- Update level-3 code to use the newly minted color2 function where appropriate. - * Programs to create: * - document: the documentation is built/processed/generated. - * - generate: special scripts are run for the purpose of generating any build-time code/scripts/files. * - finish: the project is installed. - * - package: the project is turned into a package (tarballed, etc..). * - coverage: the project has tests run against it. - - -- consider redesigning console parameters to use three sets of arrays instead of one (short, long, and other). - - this would increase performance, but is it worth the complexity of the structure? - - it may simplify the design in other ways. - - - F_STATUS_XX could be the error code for the program on exit, such that +s, ++status is a new standard parameter for specifying the variable name.
