  • Run the source code for all Apache Flex SWCs through Falcon to see if spurious problems are reported.
  • Update the source code as necessary, given the fact that Falcon is somewhat stricter than the legacy compiler. It should be possible to make both compilers happy.
  • Get various test apps besides Checkinapp compiling, linking against Falcon-compiled SWCs, and running correctly.
  • Get Mustella tests compiling with Falcon and passing.
  • Fix bugs that the Apache Flex community prioritizes.

Falcon's Original Goals

Compared with the legacy compiler, Falcon had the following goals when the project was started:. compared with the legacy compiler,

  • It should compile faster for both full and incremental compiles, especially for multi-project workspaces.
  • It should require less memory, especially for multi-project workspaces.
  • It should be useful as a code-intelligence engine and incremental compiler for an integrated development environment, and not just as a command-line compiler.
  • It should have a design that is easy to understand and to evolve.
  • It should generatge better bytecode for better runtime performance.
