Roadmap: (not exactly in order)

• Port to GUI application (web based version will still be available)
  • interface for opening roms
  • make a proper window with symbol list, disassembly, etc.
  • add support for symbol renaming without leaving the page
  • ui for graph searches, etc.
  • tighter integration with graphviz
  • ... make the user experience better
  • command line options
• Improve disassembly presentation
  • make call annotations shorter; display full data in procedure header comment
  • fix various ugly things about expressions
• Change the way procedures are represented
  • create a map of rom code and data 'chunks' - those are the atomic pieces of code, divided by jump sources and targets (nobody jumps in the middle of a code chunk).
  • change calls/references: instead of a reference originating from the procedure beginning, it should originate from the exact responsible instruction. This will make references independent from procedure boundaries.
  • procedures will now be a set of chunks. This will enable us to remove the restriction of procedures being contiguous (which could give much cleaner analysis in some cases).
• With the new represenation of procedures, make more guarantees about graph correctness
  • more emphasis on removing orphans and artificial procedure splits which clutter the graph
• Make a set of tools for maintaining the graph: cleanup, deduce-more, discover-more
• Refactor current hacks: 'idioms' and manual jumptable limits:
  • jumptable limits to database + make UI for it
  • make 'idioms' more generic (idioms: for example 'rst 0 == switch A with jumptable at next PC')
• Add support for more 'idiomatic' instructions:
  • memcpy dest, src, size
  • memset dest, size, stride, value
  • 16 bit arithmetic, multiplication, etc.
  • (in general: detect stuff with simple loops or ifs)
