LLVM Todo/Wishlist

Short-term

• Fix build on AIX

Medium-term

• machine code verifier
• output .o/.so files directly from LLC
• external tests (see brg's framework)
  • automate configure/compile/install/test
  • save bytecode files
• More benchmarks: MediaBench, MiBench, CommBench, MediaZip (a subset of MediaBench, MiBench, SPEC, and CommBench), ParkBench, EuroBen, ABINIT, CP2K, GROMACS, MM5, etc.

Long-term

• OpenMP front-end
• Fortran90/95 front-end
• new C99 and C++98 front-ends generating LLVM natively
• upgrade llvm-gcc to use GIMPLE
• kernel-level JIT
• gentoo with llvm-gcc
• compile large programs with llvm-gcc (kde, emacs, etc)
• real debugger -- generate LLVM debugging info, beef up llvm-db
• a MATLAB compiler a la MAJIC, or a generic front-end for dynamic languages such as scheme, python, ML, etc. that dynamically compile, optimize, and generate code
