[ros-dev] Tracking implementation API status

[Marc Piulachs]

As most of you know, Casper created a small tool rgenstat (tools/rgenstat)
that is able to parse source code for modules specified on apistatus.lst
seeking for public APIs decorated with the @implemented or @unimplemented C
comment. Rgenstat when invoked typing "make rgenstat" it produces an xml
file containing all the functions and it's current implementation status.
With this database we can do all sorts of automatic compatibility reports .
see for example wine's equivalent http://www.winehq.org/site/status or
http://www.codexchange.net/roslib generated from incomplete reactos data ,
(work in progress)

 

As it easy and not intrusive I would suggest using this feature to kernel
and core developers. Fireball , GreatLord , Jim , what do you think about
that ?
