Hi Jakob! Jakob Praher <jp@hapra.at> writes:
my name is Jakob Praher. I am located in Linz, Austria. Currently I am finishing my master thesis, which is about developing an aspect oriented dynamic bytecode instrumentation framework for program analysis on top of LLVM. I am very interested to work in that area as a PHd student. From your website I know you are also working on an LLVM backend.
Well, yes. But an LLVM backend in PyPy lingo is different from an LLVM backend in LLVM lingo :-). The latter would be a backend to LLVM that targets a certain CPU architecture. But it is really the other way round: we have a backend that produces _LLVM_ code out of our own IL. No clue about the Ph.D., sorry. Cheers, Carl Friedrich
