Hi there. Mounir and I have been looking at the work for next cycle. A summary spreadsheet with notes is available here: https://spreadsheets0.google.com/ccc?key=ty1c-H56f0GxnL1Hk9LCmRg
I'm very interested in feedback, especially on the time estimates and extra topics we should suggest to the TSC. See the notes at the top and feel free to add items or estimates straight into the sheet - anyone can view and anyone at Linaro should be able to edit.
For T1.4 (Better Intrinsics):
TBH, I'm hoping the work we've done for the May release will fix the known problems (or at least the problems known to me). The main patches were:
* Allowing RTL mode changes for values stored in VFP registers. Approved and applied upstream a while ago.
* Reworking the RTL representation of the built-in functions. This was approved and applied yesterday.
* Allowing arrays of vectors to have an RTL mode, and therefore be stored in registers. There seemed to be agreement in principle, although Richard Guenther understandably wanted to see the main vectoriser patches before giving a final verdict. I posted those patches yesterday.
The patch also exposed more instances of PR target/46329, so there was a fourth item:
* Fix PR target/46329. I submitted patches for this last week and pinged them yesterday.
It's really the last item that's stopping me from doing a merge request.
Of course, if anyone notices poor code even after these changes, we should fix that. I doubt it would take 1 month though.
