GCC and LLVM collaboration
Sidenote: the GNU Tools Cauldron was a very enjoyable event with many interesting talks. I've summarised many of the ones I attended here: <a href="http://llvmweekly.org/issue/29" rel="nofollow">http://llvmweekly.org/issue/29</a><p>Do take a look at my LLVM Weekly newsletter <a href="http://llvmweekly.org/" rel="nofollow">http://llvmweekly.org/</a> (and/or follow @llvmweekly on Twitter) if you're interested in keeping up to date with LLVM developments.<p>If anybody wants to get stuck in to an interesting and meaningful open source project such as gcc/clang, things like the compiler driver (command line parsing+invoking the steps in the compilation process) are accessible to someone who can deal with gnarly code but perhaps isn't a compiler expert, and I think it's fair to see could benefit a lot from careful refactoring and better testing in both GCC and Clang.
