New GCC ICI v0.9.5 (bug fixes + new examples)

[Grigori Fursin]

Hi all,

Just a small note, that we released a new GCC-ICI (Interactive
Compilation Interface) version 0.9.5. It allows function-level
optimization and specialization by selecting or reordering
only appropriate passes. It uses external plugins to monitor
and improve default compiler optimization heuristic. 

The new ICI is used in the MILEPOST project to automatically
learn how to optimize programs using machine learning. It is
merged with the Program Feature Extractor from IBM Haifa
and will soon be available under the GCC MILEPOST branch.

Yours,
Grigori Fursin
