[cfe-dev] Summer of Code idea -- detecting undefined behavior (fwd)

[Conrado Miranda]

I found this idea very interesting, but I don't have any background on
compilers. I know just some basic things and started looking at Clang just
some days ago (read the tutorial to get the general idea. I was more focused
on llvm). So, I don't think I'd be a very helpful at SoC, but I'm definitely
interested.
If some one can give some pointers (directions, not 0xdeadbeef), I'd very
thankful.
