+Wrong page! See [[2024 Summer Project]]
-===== Goal ====
-The goal of this project is to add a functioning proof-of-concept prototype of auto-function-multi-versioning capability to the Gnu Compiler Collection (GCC) for AArch64 systems, building on previous work.
-===== Project Stage 1: Preparation =====
-. **Become familiar with the GCC build process.** Build the current development version of GCC on AArch64 and x86 platforms. Get to know how long a full build takes, how to change the build options, and how to install a local (non-system, personal) copy of GCC.
-. **Learn how to navigate the GCC codebase.** Specifically, find out what code implements these aspects of the compiler and how to add to or change the code:
- a. Find the code that controls the compilation passes, and how passes can be added.
- b. Find the code that controls the argument parsing. Add a dummy argument and experiment with messages for the user that describe how and when that argument can be used.
- c. Find out where argument information is stored and how it can be accessed in code.
- d. Find out how dumps are produced during the compilation passes (in particular, during the tree passes). Become familiar with producing and reviewing these dumps. Create a dummy pass that produces a useful diagnostic dump.
