 Essential
 ---------
 * SSA is broken by simplify_loads() & branches rewriting/simplification
-* attributes of struct, union & enums are ignored (and possibly in other
-  cases too).
-* add support for bitwise enums
+* attributes of struct, union & enums are ignored (and maybe others too).
+  This requires correct support for __packed which itself needs partial

+* add support for bitwise enums (wip)
 
 Documentation

-* document the extensions
 * document the API
 * document the limitations of modifying ptrlists during list walking
 * document the data structures

+* it would be nice to do our own parsing of floating point (wip)
+* some header files needed for crypto/ need __vector or __fp16

 Optimization
 ------------
+* a lot of small simplifications are waiting to be upstreamed
+* the domtree need to be rebuilt (or updated)
+* critical edges need to be split
 * the current way of doing CSE uses a lot of time
 * add SSA based DCE
 * add SSA based PRE
 * Add SSA based SCCP
+* add a pass to inline small functions during simplification.
 * use better/more systematic use of internal verification framework
+* tracking of operands size should be improved (WIP)
+* OP_INLINE is sometimes in the way
+* would be nice to strictly separate phases that don't changes the
+  CFG and thus the dominance tree.

 Longer term/to investigate
 --------------------------
-* better architecture handling than current machine.h + target.c
 * attributes are represented as ctypes's alignment, modifiers & contexts
   but plenty of attributes doesn't fit, for example they need arguments.
