done: 100% [-> libxds/xds.h + libxds/xds.pod]
o M4 (peti) [4 weeks until 30-Jul-2001]
- implementation of libxds library framework
done: 100% [-> libxds/*.c]
- implementation XDR engines for basic data types.
done: 99% [-> everything is implemented except "double" support]
- implementation XML engines for basic data types.
done: 99% [-> everything is implemented except "double" support]
- regression tests for libxds (make check)
done: 100% [-> regression-tests/*.c]
- 16bit Integers mean trouble when passing them through "...":
| xdr-encode-uint16.c:46: `xds_uint16_t' is promoted to `int' when passed through `...'
| xdr-encode-uint16.c:46: (so you should pass `int' not `xds_uint16_t' to `va_arg')
Maybe we should skip int16 support at all? Currently I work around
this problem by implicitely assuming that the short is promoted to
an int.
To make matters even worse: The RFC doesn't even define how XDR
deals with 16-bit integers! The mere existance of such a datatype
is not positively confirmed.
- XML: <int32>1234</int32>
uint32, int64, uint64,
- xml_encode_begin():
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no">
<!DOCTYPE xds SYSTEM "http://www.ossp.org/pkg/xds/xds-xml.dtd">
<xds>
- xml_encode_end():
</xds>
- UFT-8 RFC: rfc2279.txt
Escape: < <--> <
& <--> &
]]> <--> ]]>
- strcpy() copies one byte more than the length of the text itself
because the trailing \0 is written to. Currently, this behavior is
not taken into account when calculating the correct buffer size in
the xml-encode-*-.c modules. This has to be fixed!
- libm may be used. We don't depend on sprintf() but convert out
numbers ourselves for portability.
- IEEE values ranges for floating point numbers will be used for
accurarcy in XML presentation.
- autoconf should find the types for int32 etc. even if they're not
defined in sys/types.h.
- autoconf should specify the compiler flags depending on what the
compiler supports.
