Manifesto: Development goals

  • Reliable source code:
    • Windows and Linux: should compile using CLion (cmake, gcc/msvc) + IntelliJ
    • Solution should be made portable (solution should not depend on installed packages)
    • Thousands of compile time warnings should be cleared
    • Dozens of run time errors should be cleared
    • Weight of the code clones should be reduced :)
  • Update language parsers
    • Exotic parsers (like cobol) can be removed
    • Existing language parsers should upgraded (C++, Java, C#)
    • Some popular language parsers should be provided (JavaScript, Python)
    • Parsing engine should be changed/extended to use AST
  • Add new features:
    • UI: directory clustering to show clones groups
    • UI: add AtomiQ style visualisation
  • Minor improvements
    • Remove python from the run time chain
