SimGrid (3.11) NOT RELEASED; urgency=low
TENTATIVE RELEASE GOALS for 3.11:
- * Consider the removal of Supernovae mode if no user has manifested since the
- release of version 3.10.
* Switch to tesh.pl, and kill the now unused parts of xbt that seem fragile
- * Switch to surf++, and reintegrate the hypervisor branch on top of it
- * Kill support for 32bits host architecture.
- - Integers are too short to store a date or a size
- - Plus, less platforms ~> simpler codebase ~> easier to maintain
+ * Clean up CMake files (may need a full rewrite).
+ Non exhaustive list of subgoals:
+ - Use genuine cmake mechanisms and variables when available,
+ instead of reinventing the wheel.
+ - Correctly determine system and architecture (e.g. x32).
+ - Correctly determine compiler type and version (e.g. clang).
+ - Correctly set compiler flags according to compiler type and version.
+ - Correctly set compiler flags for C++, Java, and Fortran compilers too.
+ - Use git to generate the dist archive. Either use git-archive to
+ generate the tarball, or keep using cmake -E tar, but use git-ls-files
+ to get the list of files to pack.
+ - For Java, add an option to enable/disable the inclusion of the native
+ libraries in the jar file, and avoid to duplicate these files.
+
+ TOOLS:
+ * Normalizing pointers addresses tool for better diff between logs
+
+ EXAMPLES:
+ * Add cloud examples using new VMs
+
+ MSG:
+ * Add virtual machine
+ - creation of a VM on a PM
+ - migration of a VM from a PM to another PM
+
+ SIMCALLS:
+ * Simcalls are now generated by a python script
+ - generate files include by simgrid
+ - check that all the functions exists and propose prototypes
+ * Clean simcalls
+ - remove sem_destroy, file_set_data, comm_destroy, vm_set_state,
+ host_set_data, host_get_data
+
+ SURF:
+ * Translate surf models from C to C++
+ - Generic classes for all models: Model, Resource, Action
+ - A generic interface for each kind of model (cpu, network, storage
+ workstation, workstationvm)
+ - C bindings
+ * Translate surf routings from C to C++
+ * Add callbacks using sigc++ or boost::signals2
+ - Add callback functions for resource creation/destruction
+ - Add callback finctions for resource updtating status
+ - Handle Energy as a plugin
+ * Replace swag by boost::intrusive
+ * More documentation
+
+ Build System:
+ * Supernovae build mode is definitively removed. It was used to improve
+ inlining and inter-module optimizations. It is nowadays superseded by
+ link-time optimizations commonly available in compilers.
+ * Update ns3 find lib
+ * Add boost dependency for surf++
