llvm dev - Mar 2018 - GSoC 2018 - "Command line replacements for GNU Binutils"

Hello, I'm interested in taking this task for this year's round of the
Google Summer of Code. I'm a Computer Science undergraduate student at the
University of Milan-Bicocca, I have 5+ years of experience with C/C++ but
I'm quite new to the LLVM project. I'd like to have further information
about the task requirements and whether it's still available. Thank you in
advance.

Hi Ayoub,

It's currently still available. The basic idea is that we'd be working
on
getting each of the llvm tools or libraries with a front end that is
command line compatible with the GNU binutils counterpart to serve as a
replacement. Whether or not we made them output compatible is something
else, but we'll probably want to have a couple different modes there from:

a) The compatible tool,
b) The tool we all want.

A and B could be the same, but then again, they might not. The low bar for
the SoC project is going to be A.

Thanks!
