llvm dev - Feb 2018 - [GSOC 2018] Mentors and projects needed! Any help appreciated.

All,

The LLVM project has had many years of success with the Google Summer of Code
project and we would really like to continue our participation. However, without
the support of more community members, we fear that we may not be selected as an
organization this year. They are already reviewing projects and to improve our
chances of participation we need more projects and mentors listed on the GSOC
2018 webpage.

https://llvm.org/OpenProjects.html#gsoc18

Time is of the essence here. If you can think of a project that you think would
be a useful addition or improvement to LLVM or a sub-project, please list it. If
you personally can’t mentor then reach out to others who might be a good fit and
maybe they could mentor or share responsibilities with you. I am sure there is
no shortage of work to be done :) Its just a matter of getting it on our
projects page or finding a mentor for an existing project listed.

GSOC has been a great program for so many students. Many have gone on to find
internships or even full time jobs at companies working with LLVM and related
projects. Companies have found great employees through mentoring a student. Its
a great introduction to many students into the world of open source and the LLVM
project. There are so many positives to this program and we really hope to
continue being a part of it.

If you can help, please go ahead and add a project to the page or volunteer to
be a mentor. If you don’t feel comfortable modifying the webpage, send me a
patch and I will do it for you.

Thank you!
-Tanya

NetBSD (as well as LLVM) has been accepted as an Open Source
organization participating in GSOC.

There are several LLVM-related projects on the list with GSoC tasks [1]:

Code Quality Improvement projects
Easy

    Integrate SafeStack with the basesystem
    Building userland with sanitizers

Medium

    Integrate libFuzzer with the basesystem
    Integrate LLVM/GCC Sanitizers with pkgsrc
    Integrate Scudo with the basesystem
    Kernel Undefined Behavior SANitizer

Hard

    Kernel Address SANitizer

Hi Tanya,

Is it too late to get some smaller projects for XRay in there?

Here's two:

XRay Function Coverage Mode: Implementing an XRay mode to gather function
call coverage information. This will be useful in determining which
functions in an application has been called either on-demand or throughout
its lifetime.

XRay Converters: Implementing conversion tools for XRay traces into
different formats. Some that come to mind are the Common Tracing Format,
SQL (to be loaded into databases), etc.

I'm volunteering to be a mentor for the XRay projects too.

Hope this helps!
