I participated in GSoC 2014, working on "Unifying GENERIC and
GIMPLE folding with pattern description".
Many thanks to Richard Biener, for mentoring me for the project :)
I am grateful to Diego Novillo for being my backup mentor, and Maxim
Kuvyrkov for
smooth and efficient administration of GSoC program.
* Project Description
The purpose of this project is to write a tool that reads pattern
descriptions written in a
lisp-style DSL and generates simplification C code for folding on
GIMPLE and GENERIC.
Another goal is to provide an interface for other SSA propogation
passes (eg: forwprop) for
performing folding on-the-fly, using information from the pass
lattice. This project aims to provide
a single API for simplifications on GIMPLE and GENERIC. It's currently
being developed on
match-and-simplify branch. It was presented at GNU Tools Cauldron 2014
by Richard Biener:

* Post GSoC
I am happy to continue working on the project post GSoC. We have a
couple of new features
lined up to be added to DSL, and most of forwprop has been ported to
pattern description by
Richard Biener. We plan to merge in "infrastructure" and forwprop
changes at-least in next GCC release.
* GNU Tools Cauldron 2014
One of the best things about participating in GSoC for me, was an
opporunity to attend
GNU Tools Cauldron. I am grateful to Linaro Limited for sponsoring me
for the same. It was a great
learning experience attending various talks and interacting with the community.
