Nobody said anything about this, but with people coming back from
spring break these days it's probably a good time to sync again.
Kristof and I have been trying to keep the scratchpad document here
[1] up to date, but I'll try to summarize things on the mailing list
as well:

We still have a few bugs open that we should fix or at least discuss
before turning GlobalISel on by default at O0 for AArch64:
* PR32560 - A crash in regbank select [2]
* PR32550 - Floating point values moving a lot through GPRs [3]
* PR32561 - Improve placement of constants [4]
* Optional - improve handling of switch statements (I think we don't
even have a bug open for this, but it has been brought up)

Unrelated to O0, here are some pending patches (at least that I'm aware of):
* Legalization of non-power-of-2 types [5] - this hasn't seen any
activity in a while, but it would be nice to move forward with it
* TableGen for the instruction selector: support for predicates [6] -
needs a rebase, would be very useful for ARM
* Formatting TableGen'erated files [7] - this is an older patch and it
doesn't really need to be limited only to GlobalISel, it looks like it
might be a good idea for TableGen in general

Also, Eric Cristopher has started a discussion on the GlobalISel accessors [8].
If I missed anything, please feel free to bring it up!

Cheers,
Diana
