Hello! I'm Andrei(Popescu Andrei-Constantin, to be more precise), a 4th year undergraduate student at Univ. Polytechnic of Bucharest, Computer Science dept. I live in Bucharest, Romania. When I'm not coding, I'm playing basketball or video games, or simply hanging out with my friends. My IRC handle is andrei_ (with one or more _)
I've successfully participated in GSoC 2012 with BRL-CAD on a project called libpkg extensions. On short, I had to performance test, improve then test again the brlcad networking library. I was completely new to open source and development back then. After that, I've been working as a linux kernel developer(not upstream tho). I'm mostly familiar with low level development(kernel, compilers, C is my strongest language) and with Java as an OOP/application development language. Regarding compilers, I've played a bit with llvm API(use-def chains, constant folding, that kind of stuff) as well as write a AST generator/interpreter in Antlr. I have no idea if I'm up to it, but this year I was trying to find a project that would actually matter, that would actually help the organization aswell. I stopped over "Clang plugin providing automatic application instrumentation" because I am interested in compilers, kernel and want to improve my C++. Aside of that, (I might be totally wrong since I don't have a firm understanding of the project yet), it seemed to me that it would ease profiling functions. As discussed with Christian Babeux and Jérémie Galarneau I'll compile the toolchain, take a look at how clang plugins work and then probably come back with more questions :). (step 1) My plan is to get a decent, high-level understanding of what LTTng does(basically, step 1), then work on bugfixes or small extensions on code related to my project simultaneously with writing iterations of my proposal. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to point them out :) Cheers! _______________________________________________ lttng-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lttng.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lttng-dev
