3 See the ChangeLog file looking for lines taged with the word FIXME.
8 The implementation of corefile.c (defined by corefile.h) isn't the
9 best. It is intended to be functionaly correct rather than fast. One
10 option being considered is to add a data cache to reduce the overhead
11 of the most common case of data read/writes.
16 Missing VEA system calls.
20 Missing or commented out instructions.
25 64bit target untested. 64bit host broken. For instance use of scanf
32 Better and more devices.
36 (Notes taken from Michael Meissner): Heavy use of the ## operator -
37 fix using the clasic X/**/Y hack; Use of the signed keyword. In
38 particular, signed char has no analogue in classic C (though most
39 implementations of classic C use signed chars); Use of long long which
40 restricts the target compiler to be GCC.
45 debug.c: Macro's should be extended to include:
47 IS_*TRACE: True if tracing enabled
48 *TRACE_PREFIX: Outputs just the prefix line
50 hw_trace.c: Flush, replace with a psim_set_tracing or some
56 Replace with functions to return/increment the CIA?
62 GDB doesn't understand SMP!
69 A new file pstruct.h is to be created that contains a single flat data
81 The CPU's structure, in turn would contain the VM sub structures.
83 When SMP==0, everything would have PSTRUCT passed. In SMP mode,
84 however, there are two choices: PSTRUCT + CPU_NR or PROCESSOR. I
85 suspect the latter is better.
87 It is believed that this would significantly improve performance (at
88 the price of reduced control over object scope).
95 Igen at present can't do the following:
97 o duplication is an all or nothing afair.
99 It should be configurable according to
100 the instruction or the sub-table.
103 o Due to the naming, only a single generated
104 simulator can be included in a program.
106 IGEN should be able to generate multiple
107 engines that can all be included in a program
109 o handle alternate architectures.
112 o Igen should support the generation of a
113 disasembler and posibly an assembler.
115 I suggest that the table be extended to
116 include, for each instruction, additional
117 lines describing the extual format of the
120 One possible format is:
122 "mtlr %RS":SPR.something
