llvm-dev Digest, Vol 164, Issue 6

Hey Guys !

I’m interested to participate in Google Summer of Code 2018 for LLVM. Any Projects (new features or reimplementation) related to recent " Meltdown & Spectre " Problem.

I’m a beginner in Compiler Technology. Could you please recommend some videos or blog post about "Introduction to LLVM internals ". Because I find it difficult to understand LLVM IR Generation and Backend as it contains many different passes and different concepts.

Can I (as student) suggest a project proposal on my own regardless of one provided by LLVM Org itself. Whether that is encouraged ? Because many organizations follow different rules.

Hoping for a reply :slight_smile:

Thank you all guys !

The LLVM documentation contains a lot of information about different
subsystems. Some links here
http://llvm.org/docs/Contributing.html#helpful-information-about-llvm
might be helpful. Also, feel free to suggest additional material to be
added there.

Cheers,
