I am proposing the following as a student: Project idea
Name: Unified Foreign Function Interface Skill level: Advanced Possible Mentors: Igor Stasenko / Esteban Lorenzano Name of the Student: Ronie Salgado Description: Because NativeBoost has problems with portability and cannot be used anywhere(iOS), one proposal is making a modular unified foreign function interface. This UFFI should support multiples backends, a portable function calls specification, portable easy to use callbacks support, and portable foreign resources management.

These mechanisms can be very useful. > The idea of this project is to add type inference mechanisms to try to > provide more information to the refactoring and code completion tools. > It is important to say that the idea is not to check types or correct the > program, but to allow the programmer to have more information. > > > > On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 12:06 PM, Usman Bhatti <usman.bha...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> [Anne Etien could not post this msg on the mentors list I m forwarding it >> on her behalf]. >> >> Title: FAST JavaScript model >> >> Level: advanced >> >> Possible mentor: Anne Etien >> >> Possible second mentor: Nicolas Anquetil or Yuriy Tymchuk >> >> Description: >> For in depth source code analysis a support of abstract syntax trees is >> required.
