SHORT-TERM TO-DO ITEMS:
* GNAT does not put libraries in the correct order, so a build only links
properly if you use shared libraries since -lncurses is first.
-* XPG4 specifies that the enhanced features are not available unless the
- _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED test macro is defined by the application. Ncurses uses
- this macro (incorrectly) to address a dependency upon wchar_t. The functions
- which use wchar_t are not implemented, so the effect of the test macro is
- pointless.
-
* The screen optimization has been tested only in an ad hoc manner. We should
develop a good set of regression tests to cover lib_doupdate.c and
lib_mvcur.c.
* The window classes defined in the c++ subdirectory need documentation.
Some C++ programmer could earn a lot of good karma by doing this...
+* The resizeterm() function does not handle ripped-off lines such as that
+ done for the slk_XXX functions.
+
Portability (or lack thereof):
* Users of older System V UNIXes (but not Solaris, and probably not SVr4)
label_on, plab_norm, lab_f*) has not been tested. The label_format and
lab_f* capabilities aren't presently used.
+* The wide-character input functions need testing.
+
LONGER-TERM TO-DO ITEMS:
1. Extended COSE conformance
We would like to make ncurses fully conformant at the EXTENDED level
supporting internationalization.
-Here are page references to all material involving wide or multi-byte
-characters in Issue 4 of the XSI Curses standard, with notes on their
-status in this implementation:

- Page 17-18 (3.3.5): Description of non-spacing characters.
- Page 19-21 (3.4.2): Basic character operations.
- Page 34 (addnstr): These should now call underlying wide-
-character functions, and do (through waddnstr) if _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is on).

-except waddnwstr() which is not yet defined.
- Page 36 (add_wch): wide-character add-char functions. All macros
-except wadd_wch() which is not yet defined.

-attributes field of the window an attr_t.
- Page 43 (bkgrnd): None of these are implemented.

- Page 47 (box_set): box_set implemented as macro, but the underlying
-wborder_set() is not yet defined.

-not implemented.

-Basically, the macro superstructure is there but the core is absent. We
-need better multi-locale support guarantees from the OS to finish this.
-If you are working on internationalization support, please contact us so
-we can cooperate.
+Current status:
+ pecho_wchar() not implemented.
+ slk_wset not implemented.
