llvm dev - Mar 2018 - [GSoC 2018] A single updater class for Dominators in LLVM

Hi,

I am a first year M.Tech (computer science) student at IIIT Hyderabad. I 
am interested in working on the project - single updater class for the 
dominator tree in llvm and the algorithm for pruning unwanted changes to 
the Post Dominator Tree.

I have gone through the programmers manual of llvm in the past and I 
have 3 years experience of working with the LLVM community. I have also 
gone through the dominator class reference diagrams. I am also 
experimenting with the dominator tree IR unit tests in llvm and trying 
to see whats going on inside using the debug flag 
--debug-only=dom-tree-builder.

Although I have worked previously in llvm, my work was mainly focused on 
the porting of MIPS processor for various LLVM projects. This is the 
first time I will be working on the generic part of LLVM. The area of 
dominator trees and such compiler optimizations is completely new to me 
and I always wanted to work on the internal data structures used in 
compiler optimization. I believe this project will be a good start for 
me to get into the field of compiler optimization.

I have attached my proposal for the project and I would really 
appreciate if you can give me some feedback on the proposal.

Regards,

Sagar

Hi Sagar,

Thanks for the interest in the project. I left you some comments and
feedback in the google doc with your proposal. Let us know if you have any
questions.

Sincerely,
