TODO

This is a random list of TODO items for the code and/or ideas for improvements.

General

• Remove dependency on glib and gmodule (various reasons), at least in libsigrok, probably also in sigrok-cli.
  • A new linked list implementation must be found, or written, that duplicates the important parts of glib's GSList (singly-linked list).

libsigrok

• Test whether the libusb 1.0 Windows port works (seems to build fine using Mingw).
• Merge all header files in a single sigrok.h (possibly another sigrok-internal.h which is not visible to the lib users).
• sigrok_errno:

Most backend functions return status as an integer, which is SIGROK_OK if all went well, or SIGROK_NOK and similar if an error occurred.

However there is no way to pass any information back as to what went wrong -- and this is important for user-friendliness.

Perhaps an error code is not enough; maybe something like sigrok_errno(errorcode, "unsupported device") is better.

Both the cmdline and GUI interfaces need this, really, so it should be a backend library thing.

libsigrokdecode

• Keep this independent of libsigrok and any logic analyzer hardware. It should work purely on streams / buffers of bytes to be usable by other projects.
