These naturally cause the overal memory consumption to grow
but would take away many allocations that can be done several
- times in a second.
+ times in a second (see also ~/silcpacket).
o Move the actual file descriptor task callback (the callback that
handles the incoming data, outgoing data etc, that is implemnted
SILC_BUFFER_LEN macro can do the same. These would save
totally 8 bytes of memory per buffer.
- o Scheduler can be optimized for FD tasks by changing the fd_queue
- to SilcHashTable instead of using linked list. We need to do
- one-to-one mapping of FD to task and hash table is more efficient
- for this usage.
-
- Also redefine the silc_select to perhaps return a separate
- structure of the events that actually occurred, instead of
- returning the events in the fd_list which is then traversed
- in the generic code to find the changed events. This can be
- made faster by having own struct which includes only the
- changed events, thus the tarversing is faster since the whole
- fd_list is not traversed anymore (it is still traversed in the
- silc_select but at least it removes one extra tarversing later
- for the same list).
-
- Other task queues should be changed to use SilcList.
-
o Optimizations in Server
o Remove the big switch statement from the function
o Rewrite SilcProtocol to be SilcFSM (see ~/silcfsm).
- o Change SILC_TASK_CALLBACK to non-static, and remove the macro
- SILC_TASK_CALLBACK_GLOBAL.
+ o Do some scheduler optimizations and interface changes (see
+ ~/silcschedule).
+
+ o Change the lib/silccore/silcpacket.[ch] interfaces (see ~/silcpacket).
+
+ o Add abstract SilcStream and SilcSocketStream (see ~/silcstream).
+
+ o Change some of the SILC Net interfaces (see ~/silcnet).
o Add DSS support.
o SILC RNG does not implement random seed files, and they should be
implemented.
- o Add SILC scheduler's internal routines into a table of implementation
- function pointers, that the generic code then takes as extern from
- implementation. These are the silc_schedule_internal_* routines.
-
o Cipher optimizations (asm, that this) at least for i386 would be nice.
o Add builtin SOCKS and HTTP Proxy support, well the SOCKS at least.
o EPOC specific additions/changes required:
+ o lib/silcutil/epoc routines missing or not completed.
+
o The PKCS#1 also calls global RNG (even though it is not used
currently in SILC, the interface allows its use).
