Dear GCC Developers, Nobody answers my question below, so perhaps something wrong with my email :)
So let me clarify in more details what I’m asking about. I’ve made some very very very basic evaluation of GCC code ([1]) and started to think about concrete task to contribute to GCC (language and machine optimization would be interesting to me, in particular, loop optimization). I cannot invent this task myself because my knowledge of GCC and compilers in general is not enough for this. And even if I could think out something perhaps GCC developers have their own understanding of the world. Then I have looked at GCC site to answer my question. What I could find about loop optimizations is information from GNU Tools Cauldron 2012, “Status of High level Loop Optimizations”. So perhaps this is out-of-date in 2014. Unfortunately, I have not enough time, so I would not commit to manage a task which is on the critical task. (Are you interested only in full time developers?) So it would be great if you could advise some tasks, which could be useful to gcc in some future, however nobody will miss if I cannot do it (as you had not time/people for these tasks anyway :) ). What do you think? Thanks, Evgeniya [1] Used GDB to look inside GCC. Wrote some notes in my blog which could be useful to other newbies (http://perfstories.wordpress.com/2013/11/17/compiler-internals-introduction-to-a-new-post-series/). ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Evgeniya Maenkova <evgeniya.maenk...@gmail.com> Date: Fri, Aug 8, 2014 at 6:50 PM Subject: GIMPLE optimization passes: any Road Map? To: gcc@gcc.gnu.org Dear GCC Developers! Could you please clarify about GIMPLE loop passes? Where could I find the latest changes in these passes? Is it trunk or some of the branches? May I look at some RoadMap on GIMPLE loop optimizations? Actually, I ask these questions because I would like to contribute to GCC. GIMPLE optimizations would be interesting to me (in particular, loop optimizations). However, I’m newbie at GCC and have not enough time, so would not commit to manage a task which is on the critical path. So it would be great if you could advise some tasks, which could be useful to gcc in some future, however nobody will miss if I can’t do it (as you had not time/people for these tasks anyway :) ). Thank you! Evgeniya
