Andrei Alexandrescu:
I just started http://wiki.dlang.org/GSOC_2013_Ideas. I'll add
some tomorrow; we should have quite a few before the
application deadline (March 29) in order to strengthen our
application.
Please chime in!
LDC is based on LLVM, so this suggests several small project
ideas, like porting some of the LLVM tools/features designed for
C/C++ to the D-LDC world. Things like:
- Perform more static analysis, like abstract compilation or
linting (Clang does both);
- Develop a simple way to compile D for the browser with
Emscripten to "asm.js" (this is a very small project);
- Perform other run-time tests as done by Clang;
- Use some of the D semantics to improve D code optimization
(Walter talks about this all the time);
- Implement better high level optimizations for D code that uses
array ops.
Bye,
