- * -fstype core dumps on sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3_U1 with gcc-2.95.2
- This is on foxtrot.rahul.net. dbx does not work on compiled find.
- Perhaps gcc is installed incorrectly. "find / -fstype ufs" core dumps
- quickly. cc works correctly.
-
- * Speed of locate without "-i" option needs to be increased.
-
- * Internationalization
- ** Is ansi2knr internationalized? Does it need to be?
-
- ** Should these files be internationalized?
- strftime.c
-
- ** updatedb.sh should be internationalized as well
-
- * Eliminate unnecessary strcpy calls in xargs.
-
- * man pages for frcode, bigram, and code
- Perhaps a better description in texi pages as well.
-
- * Add option for find to sort output in lexical order for use for updatedb
- olarsac@airfrance.fr (Olivier) made the following suggestion:
-
- As I was running thru the code looking for the bug I wondered why the updatedb
- has to use sort...
- why not add an option to find that sorts the output in lexical order?
- my point is:
- - sort on a big list is costly (here we do locate on big big file system)
- - find may (in theory) sort incrementally very easily by sorting only the current
- directory entries before recursion
-
-
- * large file problems
- depcomp gets added by automake
-
- * xargs: allow newline or arbitrary character to separate arguments
- Tyler 'Crackerjack' MacDonald <yi@yi.org> suggested that it would be
- nice if newlines could separate arguments to xargs. This would allow
- a single line to be used as an argument, regardless of white space,
- quotes, and backslash. A function similar to read_string in xargs.c
- can be written which replaces the line:
-
- if (c == '\0')
-
- with the appropriate character.
-
- * investigate _LIBC when used with TOLOWER and TOUPPER
- _LIBC is used to determine whether TOLOWER should check isupper first.
- Is there something better to check? Alternatively, can tolower be
- checked at run time to determine whether isupper should be called first.
-
- * BeOS problems with multibyte
- Bruno Haible reported problems with BeOS.
-
- * Include example of use of updatedb in documentation.
- Use something close to the Debian daily cron job.
-
- * Side effects do not allow the implicit use of -print.
- Specifically, the use of -prune turns off the implicit use of -print.
- Look at this line in find.c:
- else if (!no_side_effects (predicates->pred_next))
- side_effects really means:
- predicate which produces output, according to find.c, at least it does
- some of the time.
- Two predicates, side_effects, and produce_output
-
-
- * Supply example for time range commands for find.
