To do

Action Items

Next

  • Need a module for working with UTF-8 encoded strings, Scanner need to support UTF-8 encoded files
  • Tests.Mod
    • rename ExpectedString to ExpectedChars (for consistency in Artemis)
    • Conform the const CHAR descriptions between Scanner.Mod and Chars.Mod
  • Chars.Mod
    • QUOTE should be DQUOTE 34X
    • Add SQUOTE 39X
  • Add Scanner.Mod implementing a simple text scanner supporting ARRAY OF CHAR and plain text files
  • Clock.Mod should wrap host system clock for use by a more general purpose DateTime.Mod.
  • Refactor CharsTest.Mod to test Strings compatible procedures
  • Tests module for easily writing tests of modules
  • Reals.Mod should provide easy conversion to/from String for Real with exponential or fixed notations without reliance on extConvert.
  • Chars should provide a more modern approach to text processing that the Oakwood Strings module
  • Chars module should work as a drop in replacement for Oakwood Strings
  • DStrings module for dynamic strings, compatible with Chars and Strings where it makes sense, it should include Rider suppport since we lack index notation for working in the string object
  • JSON module for working with JSON data
  • Document coding conventions on when to use snake, camel case in variables and procedure names.
  • Use the curl --libcurl option to assemble a C module for handling HTTP/HTTPS and possibly other curl supported protocols

Requested Ports from Native Oberon

  • Files.Mod (Confirm Can I use OBNC's implementation, confirm PO 2013 Files.Mod works as replacement)
  • Objects.Mod (Port needed for POSIX, port needed for PO 2013)
  • Display.Mod (Port needed for POSIX, confirm PO 2013 Display.Mod works as replacement)
  • Fonts.Mod (Port needed for POSIX, confirm PO 2013 Fonts.Mod works as replacement)
  • Reals.Mod (Port needed for POSIX and for PO 2013)
  • Texts.Mod, see https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/ETH_Oberon/2003-01-05/Texts.Mod
    • Depends on: Files, Objects, Display, Fonts, and Reals
  • Figure out if the other Native Oberon modules like Kernel, Modules, Displays.Display.Mod, etc. need to be ported or we can use PO 2013 modules

Someday, maybe

  • Reals.Mod
  • EBNF.Mod and ebnfc.Mod
  • Scanner.Mod implementing a Texts like Scanner
  • RISC5 emulator (based on Compiler Construction RISC0 emulator)
  • Create a Ofront/V4 like dev environment with direct access to host file system
  • Re-implement Fonts.Mod so Oberon System can use ADA friendly fonts like Open Dyslexia and Atikson Hyperledgable
  • Rename String.Init() to something that both suggests both initialization AND assignment. NOTE: Set/Get/Put are taken by the Rider procedures to remain signature compatible with Files.Rider
  • Refactor StringDesc record for holding CHAR to hold INTEGER to allow support for difference character sets (e.g. UTF-8/UTF-32)
  • Portable Convert module, look at V4 and OBNC implementations as well as Oxford compiler and VOC
  • RegExp module is needed
  • CSV module for working with CSV data
  • XML module for working with XML data
  • HTML review A2 and Native Oberon-7, evaluate a port to Oberon-7
  • OBNC ext modules used need to be re-implemented as pure Oberon-7 to allow Artemis to be Oberon-7 compiler agnostic.
  • Need to test under Oberon Project 2013 in DeWachter's emulator as well as Extended Oberon and IO Core
  • Cli modules (e.g. OCat) need to be clearly marked as non-portable between Oberon Systems and POSIX
  • Makefile needs to handle compile Cli modules to sensible lowercase names based on Oberon-7 compiler used
  • Look at FLTK's Go bindings as well as Fyne's and see if there are some insights for a general purpose set of GUI bindings for Artemis
