FIDL设计历史

本页面提供了在RFCs中“FIDL”部分的开始引导。本章采用不同方式集合来展现其每个阶段的更新状态，带领读者快速了解FIDL的相关历史和当前方向。

首先，这些设计文件被称为FTPs(FIDL Tuning Proposals)或者FIDL调试方案。FTP流程后续将合入到RFC（request for comments）流程中。因为FTPs被以RFCs方式进行重新编码，所以RFC编号并不代表着时间顺序。但是本页面上的每个列表都按时间顺序显示RFCs。

按主题分类

本章节按照主题组织FIDL RFCs。每个RFC即使涉及多个主题，但在本章内仅列出一次。

管理

可进化性

表现性

语法

工效学

性能

功能安全和信息安全

工具

文档

简化设计空间

按语言特性分类
