<{include libr/TODO}>

0.5 RELEASE
===========

Bugs:
-----
* fix Vu, doesnt seems to work fine ..
* nibble: trace counts after step..thats not correct!

Features:
---------
* Handle metadata from disassembler
* pancake: FileDescriptors: dd -- copy from !fd in r1
* Write manpages for r2rc, r2rc-tool, rasign2
* pancake: we need an api to define function signatures
  - integrated with function signatures
  -  offset -> formatstring (offset is the key to function signature)
* pancake: implement RAnalCall (analyze function arguments, return values, propagate types..)
  - define number of arguments for given function
  - warn if signature and analysis differs in number of args or so..
* gerardo?: implement GMP in util/big.c
* Implement C command as in r1 (same for visual..define strings, hexdumps, etc..)
* nibble: diff code analysis
  - diff two programs
     1st level:
        - check all functions EQUAL, DIFFERENT, REMOVED, ADDED
        - check all symbols
        - check all imports
        - check all strings
     2nd level:
        - basic block level diffing (output in graph mode)

Analysis
========
* Implement more get_main() (NOOB)
* Do we have to enable jump/call toggles for breaking basicblocks? (yes/no)
  - pancake: no
  - nibble: ?

Bindings
========
* code analysis with r_parse // isnt this already done? nibble?
  - generate by just parsing the opcode
  RAnalAopArg {
    int size;
    int delta;
    int type;
  }
  r_anal_aop_arg_set ();
  r_anal_aop_arg_get ();
  r_anal_aop_arg_binmask ();
* generate accessors automatically from valaswig
* Script plugins
 - We should enable r_lib to implement plugins in any
   scripting language, so we can for example prepare
   a .c stub interface for python/perl/ruby/..
   - this requires a swig bridge

Build system
============
* Store version information in libraries ? debian claims for it
* install.sh (to track installed files ..)
  changes and per-opcode execution count (RRange)

Refactoring
===========
* Move disasm loop into r_print (r_print should depend on r_asm)
* Move 'r_syscall_t' stuff into r_debug (sync r_core)
* merge r_asm and r_anal?
* what do we have to do with r_th, r_parse and r_vm ?
* Is RCore->block and blocksize a RBuf ? refactor!11
* Find a better name for r_buf_fread (really?)
* typedef all function pointers, like in r_bp
* Review r_io API
* rasm2 should be configurable at startup time to choose default arch (use environment?)
* correct result (R_TRUFAE), but with warnings (implement r_errno and r_errstr in r_util?)
* Finish and import the spp's getopt owns implementation in r_util (like in p9)
* Rename __UNIX__ as __POSIX__

Design
======
* Implement 'av' command we need it  (really?) how about to eval with ?
* references: data (read, write), code (call, jmp)
* filter search results..
  cc 8080 @@ hit* .. check for values that has changed.
  - maybe we should 'cache' some memory regions
* Add 'prj.name', 'prj.desc'
* Add description to project e file.desc ?
* Add RLog API.. pipeable to disk and stderr..also hookable ..cool for ui
 
Future
======
* radare2 -e dbg.engine=vm -d ls
  - load the program using r_bin in virtual space
  - initialize vm and set regs
  - debug backend should use the vm
