(original) (raw)

Hello Teresa,

thanks for answering me,

Well I am not a student, i would work on this as a hobby.

ThinLTO Is one of the projects that I found interesting.

Any direction you could give me is appreciated.

I thought that maybe I could help on something, and put some more value on my resume. =)

Thank you very much.

Hi Jhonny,

Thanks for your interest in ThinLTO! Are you looking for a summer project, or ongoing work in compilers, or clang/llvm specifically? Are you a student? Note that these were project ideas for Google Summer of Code. The GSoC application deadline has passed and we did have a student apply to work on this particular project. So if that application ends up being accepted then we will have someone working on that one. However, there are other things to be done for ThinLTO, if you are interested in working on it. I likely won't have the bandwidth to mentor another person, but of course am happy to give pointers and advice, review patches, etc.

Hi Jhonny,
Thanks for the interest, Mehid (cc) with Teresa (cc) are probably the best people to ask about this project.
I am not sure what exactly the project contain, but if it contains propagating of attributes, I would focus on the understanding of parameters and functions attributes in LLVM (http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#parameter-attributes and http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#function-attributes) and start reading ThinLTO code (like FunctionImporter).

Hope you will have fun with ThinLTO

Good evening.

I got interested in helping with ThinLTO,
I did watch this video, https://youtu.be/9OIEZAj243g and i found it very interesting.
I got C++ knowledge, but not a lot of llvm/clang source knowledge...
Also, there is no mentors related in the website for this project.

Would the community be so kind in giving me information on how to help?
I have started reading the documentation on the website related to the llvm project as a start.

Thank you.
Jhonny Vargas
