<div dir="ltr">Hi Charles,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for your interest in ThinLTO! Sorry for the late response. I agree with Vassil, you can pick the one that is of most interest to you and go ahead and submit a proposal. I think for the two possibilities you discussed with Mehdi, it depends on whether you want to work on performance tuning or not. I'm not sure which type of build statistics Mehdi was suggesting, but likely it is something useful that we are lacking currently!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Teresa</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 31, 2017 at 4:01 AM, Vassil Vassilev via llvm-dev <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org" target="_blank">llvm-dev@lists.llvm.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

</div>
<div>My name is Charles, and I'm interested in working on LLVM
for GSOC. I watched the 2016 LLVM conference ThinLTO talk and
found it super interesting. I'd like to work on it for GSOC. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since I'm currently working on my proposal, I talked\ with
Mehdi on IRC to learn more about the project and find what
kind of contribution would be useful. He mentioned that the
big pieces of work right now are refactoring (primarily to get
out build statistics) and improving performance by
benchmarking ThinLTO against MonolithicLTO to finding what
optimizations should be added to ThinLTO. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd be interested in working on either of these problems
for my GSOC project, but wanted to find out which took
priority right now so I can contribute something useful. I've
got good C/C++ skills and a great interest in compilers, so
I'm excited to learn more about LLVM. Let me know what
thoughts you have and which parts of the project it would make
the most sense for me to work on.</div>

Given the fact that the deadline is approaching I'd suggest to
decide which is the most interesting project for *you* and write a
proposal. Try to contact the mentor as soon as possible to give you
some feedback about the draft.<br>
<br>
Cheers, Vassil<span><br>
