== Progress ==
* Support (2/10)
- Investigating a bit more PR16275, need some bigger changes in Clang/LLVM
* Background (6/10)
- Code review, meetings, discussions, general support, etc.
- Planning for a bigger team (git, Jenkins, infrastructure, documentation)
- Receiving new team members, planning start up tasks
- Android NDK discussion, investigation
Realising my activity report has been almost useless for the past month or so...

== Progress ==
* Validation
- extended validation: submitted ABE patch for discussion
- noticed random results on some tests in the Cambridge lab.
maybe caused by excessive load on the tester, or stdout/stderr problems
- investigating how to actually separate stdout/stderr streams in dejagnu
* GCC:
- branch merge review for 2016.03 snapshot
- AdvSIMD/Neon intrinsics tests: more cleanup, wondering about
poly128_t prototypes
* Misc (conf calls, meetings, emails, ....)
== Next ==
* Validation:
- more on extended validation
- random tests investigation
- more on stdout/stderr
* GCC:
- trunk monitoring, report regressions if needed
- intrinsics tests cleanup
== This Week ==
* LTO (3/10)
a) section anchors:
- prototype patch to bind functions to global vars
- looked at balanced partitioning
b) chromium LTO build fails with ICE on trunk for arm-linux-gnueabihf:
http://pastebin.com/sX6yKLBP
c) ipa-comdat
- Looked at the pass.
- trying to address TODO: put symbol in it's own comdat section
* Validation (1/10)
- prototype job in bash.
* Holidays (6/10)
== Next Week ==
Continue ongoing tasks
Port to microinstance - TCWG-432 [5/10]
* Non-lab side of minimal trust benchmarking
* More investigation of runtime anomalies
* Reordered builder phases to do useful work while waiting for targets
* Updated everything to work with benchmarking LAVA user (rather than
running as me)
Automated backport benchmarking - TCWG-352 [2/10]
* Cycles of review/development/testing
Controlled image builds - TCWG-360 [1/10]
