This topic is very relevant indeed. I made a quick check in the clang sources and this is the FIXME count for different releases:</div>

In summary, the number of FIXMEs keeps growing... While I think we should definitely address this I feel it might not be easy within 1h slot. This could be an excellent task for a Hacker Lab for example. I am not sure though whether it is planned for this year?<br>

Other formats we can consider are:</div>

<ul>
<li><span>Brainstorming our FIXME policy and what can be done to avoid/reduce the growth. Should we start tagging FIXMEs by a domain or severity level and etc to help find the most relevant ones?<br>
</span></li><li><span>Build some tooling e.g. finding the oldest FIXMEs or checking which domains have more FIXMEs. I would particularly be interested in a way to classify them... It's been a while I am trying to find a way to filter OpenCL-specific FIXMEs. I think finding
relevant FIXME could be a good first step forward. <br>
</span></li></ul>

<div>Overall I would be happy to join this session in whichever format as soon as it is in reasonable enough timing for me (AM hours would work best!).</div>

Hi folks,<br>
<br>
I was thinking to submit a round table focusing on resolving FIXMEs <br>
in the codebase of clang and llvm. The idea is FIXME hunters to bring a <br>
laptop and start hunting down the 13K FIXMEs in both codebases.<br>
<br>
Ideally we would invite code owners to provide key insights and to <br>
possibly review patches quickly.<br>
<br>
I am wondering if that sounds fun and are there people willing to engage?<br>
<br>
Best, Vassil<br>
