<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Segoe

<br>
I like open technologies, epecially LLVM compiler. I want to
implement a new interface layer in LLVM to plug-in optimizers as
a part of GSoC, and then load the interface with optimizers.<br>
</span></blockquote>
<br>
LLVM already has a plug-in framework for loading new analysis and
optimization passes (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.html">http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.html</a>).š
What makes your proposal different?<br>

<br>
This would improve LLVM application for people who want to use
their optimizations in compilers.<br>
<br>
The first "educative" step is to add Doxygen (for .h files) to
the build and integrate it into the programmer manual [1]. Then
I will try to clean up interface layer to the optimizer so it
can be potentially replaced.<br>
</span></blockquote>
<br>
Doxygen docs are already available for LLVM
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://llvm.org/doxygen">http://llvm.org/doxygen</a>).š Personally, I don't see a need to make
them part of the Programmer's Manual, although having a link from
the Programmer's Manual to the doxygen docs is probably a good idea
(if it doesn't exist already).<br>

This task is close to "superoptimizer" task from "Miscellaneous
Additions" list, so I believe there are guys here who could
mentor my GSoC project. If there are any of you who can mentor
the project, I prepare and send detailed implementation plan
here.<br>

<br>
The superoptimizer idea looks kinda cool.<br>
