** Keep them running like they are. Evaluate if buildbot failures need action in the transition period before the major release. | |||

** Probably changes inside Octave necessary as well. Long time project. Maybe for Octave 8 (or later). | |||

** @jwe: shall I (Kai) merge and redirect [[JWE Project Ideas]] into the general [[Projects]] page?? | |||
* jwe wants to work on argument-list syntax. | |||
* rik wants to consistently use <code>OCTAVE_LOCAL_BUFFER</code> in liboctave. | |||
* OpenMP parallelization for trivial cases (e.g. initialize matrix with constant)? | |||
** Ensure thread safeness of Array classes (especially GUI-interpreter communication) | |||
** Maybe based on <code>std:shared_ptr</code>? But they aren't guaranteed to be thread-safe by design either. | |||
** Eliminate <code>mutable</code> class data. | |||
* Other performance improvements: | |||
** Idea: memory pools: bug {{bug|57321}} | |||
** Idea: static_cast vs. dynamic_cast: patch {{patch|10139}} | |||
** General remark: Prefer standard features instead of "reinventing the wheel" by implementing intricate optimizations. | |||
