psas / elderberry Goto Github PK

The current Elderberry framework prints some boilerplate text on application start (see fcfutils.c:main, or evutils.c:main when it arrives) with version, copyright, authors, and licensing information, and is currently out of date.

I can think of a few options of what to do with it:

1. Remove it
2. Update it by hand
3. Use gitfoo to auto-insert authors, a tag+shorthash version, and update copyright
4. Have some mechanic for the program built with the framework to set the boilerplate
5. Combine the two preceding options

Also a -q to silence it would be nice.

Most of it is out of date. If we could implement Read The Docs that would be awesome.

Use some standard library like libevent

I'm going through the list of projects on the PSAS website, making a list of the active/old projects. Is this still a thing? Is it going on LV3? It hasn't been pushed to in like 4 years.

It would be nice if we could specify that an init/final should depend on another to have been run.

This probably should go in main.miml? It might even just be the order that the sources are listed, but it could be nice to have something more explicit. Possibly even at the module miml level. But then we want all of those to be auto-generated.

The current tests only try to go for code coverage. It would be nice if we had more expansive tests that check for weird behavior.

The profiler has been neglected for a very long time. It was originally intended to demonstrate the performance requirements we had for the framework. I'd still like it to do this, but it would be cool if it could also help out with general application development using the framework.

One cool thing would be to see if any os call blocks, which I think we need to use perf.

This would be really cool.

Be able to declare locations of files in main.miml
