[avr-llvm-devel] Just getting started, but eager to help (subscribed to the list this time...)

[Borja F. <bor...@gm...>]

Welcome Anton!

Your patches are on the right track, however please dont spend much time
taking a look and working with the current backend in SVN because it's going
to be completely replaced. I would recommend taking a read through previous
threads in the mailing list to take a grasp of what is the current status
and what are the problems we've been having and how some have been resolved,
I would say bacl from October-2010 to today. Many interface changes are
happening in LLVM so I doubt the backend compiles at all for the latest
release.

As a short summary, I have a more developed backend out of SVN with a
completely different design (you can read about it in older threads) that
has to be uploaded. Currently, I'm working on everything related to frame
stuff which is a big milestone. I have to ask something to the llvm devs
because I'm stuck on something before continuing the work.

You mentioned about helping on the Clang side, that would be awesome because
right now nobody is working on that, and indeed, all the address space stuff
has to be resolved, so your work there would be really appreciated.

PS: since mid may I'm inactive because of my finals until july so i wont be
able to resume work until then, but i'll keep reading the mailing list to
follow up any discussions.
