+During my internship, my assignment has been to improve the MontiumC compiler frontend. In
particular, instead of using the complete frontend supplied by the LLVM project
unmodified, a local version was to be created with a number of Montium-specific
changes and transformations.
The original assignment defined a few subtasks:
\begin{enumerate}
- \item Evaluating and selecting exisiting transformation passes.
+ \item Evaluating and selecting existing transformation passes.
\item Adding new transformations for Montium specific problems.
\item Providing debugging (context) information to the backend to improve
backend error reporting.
\end{enumerate}
+
+Of the above tasks, the first two tasks have been mostly completed, while the
+last task has produced workable results but still requires some architectural
+changes to LLVM to work fully (see section \ref{PreserveDebug}). Apart from
+these tasks, a number of other tasks have presented themselves during the
+internship. These are also discussed in the next section.
