Okay. Decide which of these two projects you'd like to propose and
write up a description of the project. Be sure to include some
details. For example, if you're going to improve the documentation,
describe the current deficiencies and how you plan to address them.<br>

</span> I would recommend a project that has you working
at the LLVM IR level. Fixing bugs or adding a new
analysis or optimization pass may be a good project.<br>
<br>
Another good project might be to improve our
documentation. I've noticed over the years that most of
our documents are reference-like in manner. When I start
teaching students how to use LLVM, I direct them to three
difference documents. It might be good to have a "Getting
Started with Programming with LLVM" guide to help new
students learn how to get started with using the
infrastructure.<br>

</span> Have you looked through the Open

Have you worked with LLVM or one of its
