Re: [ros-dev] Tracking implementation API status

[Aleksey Bragin]

I support that, though some modifications should be required, because  
in the kernel a standard function header [should be]/is used. If it's  
able to parse that header too (provided it contains the @implemented/ 
@unimplemented), then it's great.

Hi Aleksey,

I don't know if I understood you completely, rgenstat works by parsing c/cpp
source files not header files. What do you mean with "standard function
header"?

If we are seriously going to use it I would like to make some slightly
modifications to it to make it more powerful but would require help from
someone with more experience than me writing parsers in C.

Regards,

/Marc

I support that, though some modifications should be required, because in the
kernel a standard function header [should be]/is used. If it's able to parse
that header too (provided it contains the @implemented/@unimplemented), then
it's great.

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 ?
