GSoC: Accepted projects

[Tobias Burnus]

Dear all,

we have this year two good GSoC projects for which we managed to get a 
slot and a mentor:

Erik Krisztián Varga will work on the "Addressing mode selection in 
GCC". Citing the abstract: "CPU architectures often provide a variety of 
ways to load and save data into memory and registers. Because of this, 
there are lot of possible addressing sequences for a given code, and 
finding the optimal one is not a trivial task. However, better 
addressing can lead to improvements in a program's code size and 
execution time. The goal of this project is to add a prototype version 
of such an addressing mode selection pass to GCC." The primary mentor 
will be Oleg Endo.

Fan You will work on "Completing the missing parts of the Fundamentals 
TS in libstdc++": "Finish extending shared_ptr to support arrays and 
Polymorphic memory resources (erase allocator from the container's 
type)." The primary mentor will be Tim Shen.

Congratulation to the Erik and Fan You for the accepted proposal. And 
thanks to the two mentors for volunteering!

Cheers,
