To Do List

• Watch out for access permissions. The current setup sucks. What is needed is a special group for the instructors, and make the projects themselves members of that group. The development directories would then only need to be group readable, and since no student is member of that group, students need not fear intrusion by other students...
• We need a tool to yank a change from a developer, for example when that developer quits the project...
• In change 7, Somebody managed to sneak in a Indexable::next(void).
• Automatically copy and write protect new header files.
• In change 6, add tests for <nil> value.
• Test if operators return a value.
• Add the concept of delegation to the I/O functions.
• Add explicit precedent constraints, perhaps as a graph.
• In change 11, we need a tool to automatically check if all locations that could use a const keyword have been found.
• Partition the aegis database into smaller portions in order to avoid excessive locking...
• Classname should use a static string so that we can check in the debugger which class we are inspecting.
• The data items in game should systematically be pointers declared with forward declarations in order to avoid cyclic definitions. This technique should be better explained.
• The discard() function in CardPtrDeque should take a pointer instead of a reference, so that it can delete the discarded card after it has been added to the deque. This for consistency with the draw() function... The test should check for a memory leak here.
• The tests should be more orthogonal, or at least non-orthogonal (outdated) tests should automatically be removed. It should always be possible (even if not very meaningfull) to run a regression test. One way to achieve this is to start creating and using the game.data file as soon as change 12.
