User:Jcranmer/DXR Roadmap

For right now, this is a grab-bag list of things I think might be interesting:

Important

• Add plugin hooks to HTML generation (e.g., enable/disable gcov view somehow)
• Better support for multiple trees
• Add links into the IDL source
• Search, getinfo need more plugin hooks

Should have

• Figure out why the generated source isn't getting indexed properly
• Improve support for templates
• Test suite
• Figure out how to reduce memory usage without sacrificing speed too much
• #include links
• More generic highlighting
• Better macro output
• JSON API
• Improve handling of binary data

Interesting for mozilla

• Use tinderbox builders to generate information continuously
• Better support for IPDL
• Results for JS, HTML, XUL, XBL
• Results for Objective C/C++
• Add in some ability for xpcom (i.e., this implements XXX interfaces and has XYZ contract id)

Ideas

• Improve callgraph for function pointers and C code
• Emit ctags
• Combine results from multiple platforms
• Better searching (need to figure out what people are looking for)
• Any open DXR bug
• Anything else in DXR Future Work Plan, more or less
• Count, pagination to search
• Support for gcc and msvc (not all projects can build with clang)
• Figure out how to get non-clobber working
