[llvm-dev] GSOC ThinLTO Proposal

[Charles Saternos via llvm-dev]

Hey All,

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.

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.

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.

Thanks!
- Charles Saternos
