=== Work done during this week ===
* Continue work on TCWG-1428 (Support arithmetic on FileCheck regex
variable): external review
+ finish adding comments
+ add documentation and testcase
+ respond to feedback and send email to llvm-dev to discuss best
syntax for new feature
* Started looking into TCWG-1062 (MCF branch prediction overload due
to too many consecutive branches):
+ figure out what machines to run spec on, where to find spec and
how to use Linaro scripts to install/configure and run it (thanks to
Christophe Lyon)
+ try to build a native clang toolchain but throw it away since
clang does not link (perhaps due to lack of memory (4G machine))
+ learn how to build a cross LLVM toolchain (thanks to Peter Smith)
+ figure out how to get the right privilege to run perf (thanks to
Christophe Lyon)
* Misc:
+ LLVM buildbot babysitting with Peter Smith
+ attend presentation about Windows on Arm
+ start a full reorganization of my workflow
+ finish handover of my Arm tickets
=== Plan for week 28 ===
* DSGHACK-25 (Support arithmetic on FileCheck regex variable): address comments
+ rework patch once syntax is agreed
* Continue looking into MCF branch prediction overload due to too many
consecutive branches:
+ reproduce/confirm issue
+ start to investigate a solution
