Greetings Martin,
I won't be applied but it was good to see you at least got some possible
ideas out of
my research from the make parts. Two questions as related to GSoC, in
terms of
long term planning for my work:
1. *Implement something similar to Clang's/-ftime-trace/*is in my view
the most important project
for GCC multi-threading as having a real profiler in gcc proper is the
biggest bottleneck. Finding
shared state and having heuristics is a real thorn without it. Is the
goal just to support it as a
feature similar to Clang or is this intended to be a real profiler, as
it seems so?
2.*Create a general jobserver client/server library *If its planning to
be a library then your
probably hooking it into the frontends for C/C++. Not sure who the
maintainer for that is
but is he aware of the possible changes? It may be good to either have
him as another
mentor or someone to ask about the frontend parts unless you or Martin
Liska have
that knowledge.
Regards and good luck with GSoC,
Nick**
