This list applies to all the optional modules one can install for CLC-INTERCAL, not just to the Base package. It would be better to split this list and have each item listed in the most relevant package. The following files are intended to be in the distribution but have not been included in this pre-escape: IPv6 support in INTERNET library (this has, however, been designed, and will appear in the documentation in the near future). Language/INTERCAL.pm (no longer needed, but useful for compatibility) bin/oo,\ ick (ditto -- use bin/sick) Language/INTERCAL/Backend/Uncompile.pm - attempt to get INTERCAL source by any means possible: if the object has some source code, it is extracted; any compiled code without a source is disassembled. doc/examples/computed-labels.li (try "(.1) DO .1 <- #1 ... PLEASE COME FROM (1)") doc/examples/next-from.i (if you never used NEXT FROM do it now!) doc/examples/quantum/next-from.i more doc/examples/*.i some of the test scripts (which will say "Skipped: not implemented" or words to that effect during "make test"); also, some of the ones provided could do with more tests The following are known bugs: using intercalc --line, command completion works but shows a weird list of possible completion if there is more than one match; this is because the completion variables described in the readline documentation don't have the effect described there. using quantum statements in the calculator can produce unexpected results events defined in the calculator don't work (of course, they work in sick) reloading the compiler while using the calculator is fully supported, for example to switch between 'sick' and 'ick'; however at present changes made to the compiler before reloading do not correctly propagate to the reloaded compiler: the correct behaviour is to reapply all changes to the new compiler, taking into account the fact that the new compiler may be completely different from the old one. This is not as simple as it sounds. The following functionality is missing: The documentation is not currently installed by "make install"; moreover, there is no Makefile target to install it. Politesse checking The user interfaces work with intercalc but are not yet powerful enough for use with sick. The optimiser (optimise.iacc is provided, empty, as a placeholder) Additionally, "iacc.iacc" (and "iacc.io") do not currently provide syntax to create optimisers (you can, of course, write your own extensions for that) Interface-specific configuration in sickrc The Curses interface requires some sort of scrollbars. It works fine if the top window fits in the screen, but makes a mess if it doesn't. In a standard 80x25 terminal this means: oic yes, anything else no. The X interface also needs some sort of scrollbars, but this is not as urgent as the problem only appears with a large text window, such as the trace window after a few commands are traced, or the history window after a lot of commands. The compiler could be made to do a lot more work at compile time, leaving less for the runtime. For example, if a program contains CREATE statements, it is possible to avoid recompilation at runtime in most cases, by recompiling the program with the extended grammar but recording that the new rules introduced are not enabled. See function find_code in Language::INTERCAL::Object to see why this would work. Maybe this could be enabled only if optimisation is requested. Related to the previous point, the compiler compiler just stores the list of CREATE statements necessary to recreate the compiler when a user program is compiled. This could be improved by running the code generated by the compiler compiler and storing the completed grammar. However this turns out to be a small fraction of the compile time, so it isn't a priority to do anything about that. Patches to implement any of the above will be gratefully received: please email them to intercal@sdf.lonestar.org, including the word INTERLEAVING in the subject (or the message may be ignored as spam). Please specify whether you wish your contribution to remain anonymous, and if not, what name do you want to be added to the CLC-INTERCAL hall of shame.
