[B2-devel] TODO before release ?

[<gb...@di...>]

Hi,

There are a few things I think it is worth fixing before releasing B2
0.9. IMHO, the following are not new features but bugfixes:

- Teach Linux/NetDriver to work^Wcompile with newer kernels (2.4+)
- Clean up siginfo subterfuges in configure by possibly sharing a common
header between configure programs and B2 ?
- Fix the DGA2 bug
- Classic Emulation. I don't think it is possible to do Classic
emulation in direct addressing mode since we are always keeping the
whole 32 bits from the address.

I don't really want to have to build multiple binaries for B2.
i.e. { DGA1, DGA2 } x { Classic, Quadra } emulation is starting to be
big in both compilation time and space. So, we should find a decent
solution.

The following is just convenience for me so that I may not have to trash
compiler.{h,cpp} and fpu files whenever I update my JIT tree ;-)
- Remove uae_cpu/compiler.{h,cpp}
- Move fpp.cpp, fpu_x86* into uae_cpu/fpu/

Since no features must be added for that release, I won't commit the new
fpu core ("ieee") from my tree.

I would have appreciated support for FreeBSD 4.1 in direct addressing
mode. Unfortunately, it is quite weird there: SIGBUS is used instead of
SIGSEGV and, most importantly, the test program that used to work alone
will lock inside the configure script... I will try to have a closer
look at it this weekend.
