<p class="MsoNormal">Either way, it is really hard to find a short-term "new development" work for your team in OpenMP -- as the implementation is more or less already finished. Yes, it can benefit from some refactoring here and there, but I doubt this is what
you are looking for.<br>
<br>
One area still missing, though, is capturing variables with variable-length array type. There is a similar question (is it posted by one of you?) and more elaborate answer:

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">So my question is do you know of any open points, compiler passes, optimizations in the LLVM / Clang realm that are small enough for a student group to be tackled in a quarter (~2 months)?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We acknowledge that compilers are very complex software and that it is very hard to do anything meaningful in this timeframe.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">So we would appreciate any guidance you can offer.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This could also mean doing work in a LLVM / Clang related project, as LLVM / Clang themselves are pretty mature projects and doing anything substantial would probably take much longer.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The only requirement of the project would be that it is in the realm of compilers and optimizations.<o:p></o:p></p>
