Hi John, While this is a good idea, wouldn't it logistically take longer to get the microphone to the person involved than for the presenter to repeat the question?

One idea for a hacking session would be a "performance analysis workshop". People could bring their apps, we could sample them track down what part of the compiler would need to change and code it up (if time allowed). Given the trade offs involved, it could be helpful to many folks, the trick is to get the right people to show up. -Chris On Nov 20, 2011, at 2:10 PM, Joe Abbey

I'll be attending the hacking session with the intent of understanding what needs to be done to improve ARMv5 Thumb support. With any amount of luck, we can start pounding away at the support. My initial understanding from the release notes are that http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1388 has to be fixed first. Evan Cheng writes this in 2007: The proper fix is to model CC as explicit

Renato, I was wondering when the videos might be uploaded. The slide material is great! Thanks!

I'm the code owner of LLVM codegen and targets. I'm also the one of main developers on the original ARM target. That means, I would make the decisions on major development on ARM target if there are decisions to be made. But my role is very different from what people are looking for in this thread. To properly qualify a target like ARM which are supported on many different CPUs and

Legal... really? :( What a shame. I'll wait patiently, unless I can get a download link... :-D Don't wanna anger legal though...

Hi Joe, I can answer that, as I'm dealing with it J The videos are stuck currently with our legal department. They've gotten extremely sensitive over it and we have had to get Tanya/Chris to agree to a secure dropbox so we can send the videos to them to put on the website (binaries don't live in SVN). Obviously Tanya is very busy with the release at the moment, so it's

Hi Joe, Not sure yet if I'll be able to make the hacking session or not, but either way, feel free to look me up at any time during the conference and I'd be happy to talk about the arm backend.

I think we need a group of maintainers rather than a single maintainer given the spectrum of ARM targets/ISAs/platforms required to support and the amount of people/system resources required. I & my team plan to actively participate in the bug-fixing process during the release cycle. If we can divide the bugs among the maintainers and establish a requirement that all open ARM bugs must be

Admittedly we're very interested in becoming ARM backend maintainers as our product heavily relies on LLVM. However, we don't have testing resources to test both our product and LLVM on a host of target boards. We have some chumbys, beagleboards, iPhones, iPod Touches, tables, Android Phones, etc. And most of those are already booked solid with our own regression tests (most of which

I see, so perhaps the LLVM ARM Backend is in need of a method of organizing volunteer qualifiers, as releases near? Has this generally been organized via this mailing list?

We do a lot of our internal regression tests on it, and also run LLVM's regression tests every night on it (as well as PlumHall, EEMBC and SpecInt). Unfortunately it's not exactly software we can give away or

Have enough microphones and volunteers who deliver them so the mic for the next person arrives during the discussion of the previous question? Not sure how well
