<p class="MsoNormal">I've listed the current topics of interest below, along with some notes on each. We only have 30 minutes so we'll barely scratch the surface of these during the BoF itself. My main aims are for you to meet each other, identify potential
areas of collaboration, identify things that I can do to unblock you, and get the ball rolling on some conversations that we can continue on the mailing lists. It looks like we'll have an opportunity to set up impromptu meet-ups too (see <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpbefagv6Ts">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpbefagv6Ts</a>)
so if you want to do a deeper dive on a topic area we can set one or more of those up -- just let me know in this thread.<o:p></o:p></p>

Yea. I've some hopes for "new PM" making it easier to have maintainable<br>
and customizable pipelines. I've not played around with it too much -<br>
largely because there's no C API last time I checked.<br>
<br>

I'd guess that some of the things that can be done to significantly<br>
improve JIT performance aren't generally applicable to most other uses<br>
of LLVM. E.g. the overhead of redoing the same analyses for code gen is<br>
mostly an issue on higher optimization levels, and I assume that a large<br>
portion of e.g. clang users using -O3 will do LTO. Where a split between<br>
optimization and code gen seems necessary in number of cases.<br>

Cool.<br>
