- Subject: Re: LLVM as a gcc plugin?
Hello,
I am interested in developing LLVM functionality to support the interfaces in GCC ICI. I
plan to spend some time to investigate feasibility in a couple of weeks time once all exam
boards are finished. My initial goal would be to enable LLVM to be used for iterative
compilation using the HiPEAC ICI framework, either as a drop in replacement for GCC, or as
a plugin. I'd welcome focussed discussion and collaboration with this goal in mind.
My previous work in LLVM was in trying to develop a backend for a soft-core processor
written in HandelC. I am also interested in developing/extending teaching resources to
support compiler based undergraduate/postgraduate courses and projects. One of my long
term research goals is to investigate (implement) iterative feedback directed compilation
and design space exploration tools/techniques for hybrid multicore processor architectures
comprised of hard and reconfigurable logic.
Thanks,
Andy
