Introduction

Below is a list of project ideas for the 2014 GSoC Application for Nimrod ...

Projects

Compiler

Add support for coroutines Fix bugs with iterators/generics Fix/Expand Compiler as a Service features

Standard Library

Integrate and expand new async io module

Enhance the filesystem monitoring module "fsmonitor.nim"

Allow the fsmonitor module to work on Windows by using native api's to gather information about changes in monitored files and directories.
Revise the fsmonitor module api to decouple unix/linux file handle paradigms (such as using sockets.poll) from the api, allowing easier implementations of native backends.
Integrate the fsmonitor module's polling mechanism into the new asynchronous io modules.

Add a cross-platform stat()-like procedure to the operating system module "os.nim"

Implement a procedure which uses native stat-like calls on Linux, Mac, Windows, and other operating systems to gather detailed information about specific file system objects. Allow the bypassing of symlinks and hardlinks, where possible.

Enhance and expand standard library documentation

Ensure that documentation exists for all public methods and modules
Create and design new CSS and HTML layouts for the documentation, to better fit with the main website
Draw a penis
Add search capabilities to the documentation

Tools & Infrastructure

Update and refactor nimrod builder
- Reduce the number of assumptions the nimrod builder makes about its host system, in order to reduce configuration restrictions. Assumptions include location and usage of external tools, such as git.
