TODO list:

Bugs:

- fix macro substitution with nested definitions (ShangHongzhang)
- FPU st(0) is left unclean (kwisatz haderach). Incompatible with
  optimized gcc/msc code

- constructors
- cast bug (Peter Wang)
- define incomplete type if defined several times (Peter Wang).
- configure --cc=tcc (still one bug in libtcc1.c)
- test binutils/gcc compile
- tci patch + argument.
- see -lxxx bug (Michael Charity).
- see transparent union pb in /urs/include/sys/socket.h
- precise behaviour of typeof with arrays ? (__put_user macro)
  but should suffice for most cases)
- handle '? x, y : z' in unsized variable initialization (',' is
  considered incorrectly as separator in preparser)
- transform functions to function pointers in function parameters
  (net/ipv4/ip_output.c)
- fix function pointer type display
- check lcc test suite -> fix bitfield binary operations
- check section alignment in C
- fix invalid cast in comparison 'if (v == (int8_t)v)'
- finish varargs.h support (gcc 3.2 testsuite issue)
- fix static functions declared inside block
- fix multiple unions init
- sizeof, alignof, typeof can still generate code in some cases.
- Fix the remaining libtcc memory leaks.
- make libtcc fully reentrant (except for the compilation stage itself).

Bound checking:

- '-b' bug.
- fix bound exit on RedHat 7.3
- setjmp is not supported properly in bound checking.
- fix bound check code with '&' on local variables (currently done
  only for local arrays).
- bound checking and float/long long/struct copy code. bound
  checking and symbol + offset optimization

Missing features:

- disable-asm and disable-bcheck options
- __builtin_expect()
- improve '-E' option.
- atexit (Nigel Horne)
- packed attribute
- C99: add complex types (gcc 3.2 testsuite issue)
- postfix compound literals (see 20010124-1.c)

Optimizations:

- suppress specific anonymous symbol handling
- more parse optimizations (=even faster compilation)
- memory alloc optimizations (=even faster compilation)
- optimize VT_LOCAL + const
- better local variables handling (needed for other targets)

Not critical:

- C99: fix multiple compound literals inits in blocks (ISOC99
  normative example - only relevant when using gotos! -> must add
  boolean variable to tell if compound literal was already
  initialized).
- add PowerPC or ARM code generator and improve codegen for RISC (need
  to suppress VT_LOCAL and use a base register instead).
- interactive mode / integrated debugger
- fix preprocessor symbol redefinition
- better constant opt (&&, ||, ?:)
- add portable byte code generator and interpreter for other
  unsupported architectures.
- C++: variable declaration in for, minimal 'class' support.
- win32: __intxx. use resolve for bchecked malloc et al.
  check exception code (exception filter func).
- handle void (__attribute__() *ptr)()

Fixed (probably):

- bug with defines:
    #define spin_lock(lock) do { } while (0)
    #define wq_spin_lock spin_lock
    #define TEST() wq_spin_lock(a)
- typedefs can be structure fields
- see bugfixes.diff + improvement.diff from Daniel Glockner
- long long constant evaluation
- add alloca()
- gcc '-E' option.
- #include_next support for /usr/include/limits ?
- function pointers/lvalues in ? : (linux kernel net/core/dev.c)
- win32: add __stdcall, check GetModuleHandle for dlls.
