<br>
you took the first step already, you emailed the list :)<br>
<br>
You should start with a small task so you can see how the process works.<br>
One would be to work on the TODO in OpenMPOpt.cpp line 366:<br>
// TODO: We should validate the declaration agains the types we expect.<br>
The idea is that we match runtime calls there and we know what types<br>
they should have (as part of their definition in OMPKinds.def). However,<br>
for now we do not verify the types match the function we found with the<br>
respective name. Does this make sense?<br>
<br>
Feel free to look around that area and ask questions you might have.<br>
<br>
You should also read documentation like<br>
<a href="https://www.llvm.org/docs/Contributing.html" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.llvm.org/docs/Contributing.html</a><br>
<a href="https://www.llvm.org/docs/CodeReview.html" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.llvm.org/docs/CodeReview.html</a><br>

<a href="https://www.llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html</a><br>
and always feel free to ask on the list or in IRC questions :)<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Johannes<br>
<br>
P.S. Given your autotuning experience you should consider the "ML"<br>
topics as well.<br>
