TODO

List of TODO items, by section, in random order

Ia32
 realmode

X86_64
 decompiler

CPU
 Arm
 Sparc
 Cell

Parser
 Allow single-file multiplexer (C code + Asm + asm16bit + ...)
 Fix the asm prepro comment issue: '; a /* b\n c ; */' should see 'c'

Assembler
 Handle cpu pseudo-instrs (mips 'li' -> lui high + ori low)
 SplitReloc? (for pseudo-instrs)
 Ia32 GAS syntax
 Make the autoimport depend on the target platform and not on the exeformat
 Encode FPU constants
 
Disasm
 DecodedData
 Exe decoding generate decodeddata ?
 Fix thunk detection (thunk: mov ecx, 42  jmp [iat_thiscall] is not a thunk)
 Test with ET_REL style exe
 Store stuff out of mem (to handle big binaries)
 Better :default usage
  good on call eax, but not on <600k instrs> ret
  use binary personality ? (uses call vs uses pushret..)
 Improve 'backtrace => patch di.instr.args'
 path-specific backtracking ( foo: call a ; a: jmp retloc ; bar: call b ; b: jmp retloc ; retloc: ret ; call foo ; ret : last ret trackback should only reach a:)
 Decode pseudo/macro-instrs (mips 'li')
 Deoptimizer (instr reordering for readability)
 Optimizer (deobfuscating)
 Per-instr context (allows to mix cell/ppc, x86 32/16bits, arm/armthumb..)
 Better save/load dasm state
 Parse symbol.map generated by IDA for ELF files

Compiler
 Optimizer
 Register allocator
 Instr reordering
 Asm intrinsics
 Asm inline
 inline functions
 Separate partial compilation + linking (src1.c -> obj1.o, src2.c -> obj2.o, obj1.o+obj2.o -> bin)
 Make generic compiler from cpu.instr_binding ?
  create a cpu.what_instr_has_binding(:a => (:a + :b)) => 'add a, b' ?
 Shellcode compiler (exit() => mov eax, 1  int 80h inline)
 
Decompiler
 Fix decompiling on loaded savefile
 Rewrite cpu-specific to really dumb
  Just translate di.binding to C
   maybe w/ trivial var dependency check for unused regs, but beware :incomplete instrs deps
  Check interdependency ('xadd')
 Move frame pointer checks / stack var detection to C code
 Update asm listing from info in C (stack vars, stack var names..)
 Handle renaming/retyping register vars / aliases
 Handle switch() / computed goto
 Fix inline asm reg dependencies
 Handle direct syscalls (mov eax, 1  int 80h => exit())
 Autodecode structs
 FPU
 Handle/hide compiler-generated stuff (getip, stack cookie setup/check..)
 Handle call 1f ; 1: pop eax
 More user control (force/forbid register arg, return type, etc)
 Preserve C decompiled line association to range of asm decoded addrs

Debugger
 OSX
 Detour-style functionnality to patch binary code (also static to patch exe files?)
 Move constants in a data/ folder (ptrace reg numbers, syscalls, etc)
 Generic remote process manip
  create blank state
  linux virtualallocex
 Remote debugging (small standalone C client)
 Support dbghelp.dll (ms symbol server info)
 Support debugee function call (gdb 'call')

ELF
 test encoding openbsd binaries
 handle symbol versions
 LoadedELF.dump
 Check relocation encoding (eg samples/dynamic_ruby with cpu.generate_PIC=false)

MachO

PE
 resource editor ?
 rc compiler ?
 add simple accessor for resource stuff (manifest, icon, ...)
 parse PDB

GUI
 debugger
  specialize widgets
   show breakpoints
   show jump direction from current flag values
 have a console frontend
 zoom font when zooming graph
 text selection
 copy/paste
 map (part of) the binary & debug it (map a PE on a linux host & run it)
 html frontend

Ruby
 write a fast ruby-like interpreter
