1) We've a sane, if unfinished API but no tests (besides Ponie, which is a bit big) to make sure we actually implement the routines right and don't mess things up.
2) We're not prefixing a lot (far, far too many) of symbols that we really ought to be prefixing. (And we've got some symbols which only differ in case, which is Really Bad)
So, the tasks.
We could really use some source tests to test the embedding interface.
We need to fill in the autoprefix.h header. (What header you say? Update CVS! :)
This is a partial stopgap measure. What we *really* want to do is to have the linker only expose those symbols we want exposed and hide the rest, but that doesn't work everywhere, which means *all* our non-statics need to be prefixed. Hence the autoprefix.h file. This is where all the "#define foo(x,y) Parrot_foo(x,y)" defines need to go.
Anyway, what we need to do is figure out what symbols we're exposing that aren't prefixed and get entries for them in here. There's a tool (tools/dev/nm.pl) that works many places that gets a list, which'd be a good place to start.
Not thrilling work, but not bad either as these things go. Could be worse, certainly.
