JWE Project Ideas: Difference between revisions

** Better and more complete use of C++ namespaces.

** Better use of C++ features. Especially standard library features as their implementation becomes more widely available. For example, we might be able to simplify some things in Octave by using the C++17 filesystem and special functions libraries, if they provide results that are at least as good what we are using now.

** Eliminate C preprocessor macros where possible.

** Use const in more parse tree functions.

** remove, replace, or at least rename the "added static" concept in the symbol_record class.

** Should not expose symbol_record in call_stack functions if possible.

** Remove unused symbol_table/scope/record functions.

** Do recursive functions work properly with load/save now?

** Use enums for options internally (typically to replace bool values).

** Audit global variables and eliminate them where possible.

** Audit use of panic_* functions and replace with calls to error where possible.

** Fix symbol visibility so we are mostly tagging namespace decls, not individual functions.

** Complete use of dispatch types for functions (search for "classes:" to find the few current examples).

** Tag for built-in functions to specify maxiumum number of inputs.
