- Coming Attractions
- ==================
-
- Some things that will probably be available in libg++ in the near
- future:
-
- * Revamped C-compatibility header files that will be compatible with
- the forthcoming (ANSI-based) GNU libc.a
-
- * A revision of the File-based classes that will use the GNU stdio
- library, and also be 100% compatible (even at the streambuf level)
- with the AT&T 2.0 stream classes.
-
- * Additional container class prototypes.
-
- * generic Matrix class prototypes.
-
- * A task package probably based on Dirk Grunwald's threads package.
-
- Wish List
- =========
-
- Some things that people have mentioned that they would like to see
- in libg++, but for which there have not been any offers:
-
- * A method to automatically convert or incorporate libg++ classes so
- they can be used directly in Gorlen's OOPS environment.
-
- * A class browser.
-
- * A better general exception-handling strategy.
-
- * Better documentation.
-
- How to contribute
- =================
-
- Programmers who have written C++ classes that they believe to be of
- general interest are encourage to write to dl at rocky.oswego.edu.
- Contributing code is not difficult. Here are some general guidelines:
-
- * FSF must maintain the right to accept or reject potential
- contributions. Generally, the only reasons for rejecting
- contributions are cases where they duplicate existing or
- nearly-released code, contain unremovable specific machine
- dependencies, or are somehow incompatible with the rest of the
- library.
-
- * Acceptance of contributions means that the code is accepted for
- adaptation into libg++. FSF must reserve the right to make
- various editorial changes in code. Very often, this merely entails
- formatting, maintenance of various conventions, etc. Contributors
- are always given authorship credit and shown the final version for
- approval.
-
- * Contributors must assign their copyright to FSF via a form sent out
- upon acceptance. Assigning copyright to FSF ensures that the code
- may be freely distributed.
-
- * Assistance in providing documentation, test files, and debugging
- support is strongly encouraged.
-
- Extensions, comments, and suggested modifications of existing libg++
- features are also very welcome.
