Vlad's work on the IA-64 scheduler has been contributed, and the AST
optimizer branch is now tree-ssa, scheduled for GCC 3.5, so I'm removing
the two items below.

(Vlad, are there any outstanding issues with the IA-64 scheduler?)

If any of you has further updates, please let me know!

< <li>Contribute to the DFA scheduler
< 
< <p>As reported in (and cribbed from) the GCC news/announcements list,
< Vladimir Makarov has contributed a new scheme for describing processor
< pipelines (commonly referred to as the DFA scheduler).  This new scheme
< can model certain pipeline architectures more effectively than the old
< scheme, which in turn can improve the code generated by the compiler.
< This work was merged to the GCC CVS mainline from the DFA branch
< in April 2002 and is expected to be in GCC 3.2.</p>
< 
< <p>Vlad reported in
< <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-04/msg00409.html">
< mail to the GCC list</a> in April 2002
< that he is working on a DFA-based scheduler for IA-64.</p>

< <li>Contribute to the AST optimizer branch
< <p>
< This has promise of showing performance improvements for IA-64 in
< the short term and might be in GCC 3.2.  Work that would be particularly
< useful in this area is to make it language-independent;
< right now only C and C++ can provide input to it because they are the only
< front ends that have tree representations for functions.  Getting g95 to
< work with the AST optimizations would be good for IA-64.
