Jul 24 - Aug 7

Work done:

• init_existential_metatype

Next week:

• More on Protocol and Protocol Composition Types (Existential-s)

Jul 18 - Jul 24

Work done:

• end_apply
• abort_apply

Next Week:

• init_existential_metatype

Jul 11 - Jul 17

Work done:

• deinit_existential_addr
• init_existential_value
• deinit_existential_value

Next Week:

• end_apply
• abort_apply
• init_existential_metatype

Jul 4 - Jul 10

Work done:

• init_existential_addr

Next Week:

• init_existential_value

Jun 22 - Jul 3

Work done:

• Finished Builtin Inst

Next Week:

• init_existential_addr

Jun 13 - Jun 21

Work done:

• Looking into DestroyValue

Learned:

• Some SIL Type are Trivial, AddressOnly, Loadable, and are handled differently when destroyed

Jun 6 - Jun 12

Work done:

• End Borrow
• End Access

Next Week:

• Destroy value

May 30 - Jun 5

Work done:

• Investigating End borrow

Next Week:

• End Borrow
• End Access

May 23 - May 29

Work done:

• Properly fixed the 0x48 offset issue, and made fix for other types that has the same issue
• Looked into the build issue with latest LLVM

May 16 - May 22

Work done:

• Investigated the 0x48 offset and provided a fix to my PR instead of hard coding

Next Week:

• To see if this is also the case for some of the other Instructions

Mar 4 - Apr 10

Work done:

• AllocExistentialBox and ProjectExistentialBox

Difficulties:

• Things only match if I save the instruction in Symbol table after offsetting 0x48 bytes

Mar 28 - Apr 3

Work done:

• Continued on AllocExistentialBox and ProjectExistentialBox

Next Week:

• Wrap up AllocExistentialBox and ProjectExistentialBox

Mar 21 - Mar 27

Work done:

• Investigate AllocExistentialBox

Learned:

• alloc_existential_box is only part of the initialization, it needs project_existential_box to store an address

Next Week:

• AllocExistentialBox
• ProjectExistentialBox

Mar 14 - Mar 20

Work done:

• Finished up ThrowInst- pull request created
• Started investigating AllocExistentialBox

Next Week:

• AllocExistentialBox

Mar 7 - Mar 13

Work done:

• ThrowInst

Difficulties:

• Need to get familiarize with the new structure

Learned:

• ThrowInst throws existential_box, rather than the Error object

Next Week:

• Work on alloc_existential_box
• Test ThrowInst
• Work on printing symbol table if have time

Feb 28 - Mar 6

Work done:

• Add if-statements to check if Float Literal is actually a float/double

Next Week:

• Work on ThrowInst

Feb 14 - Feb 27

Work done:

• Made a fix for DebugValueInst, created pull request, pending confirmation

Next Week:

• Depends on discussion on FloatLiteral, might produce a fix
• Start work on ThrowInst

Feb 7 - Feb 13

Work done:

• Made a fix for DebugValueInst, waiting for response

Difficulties:

• Not sure if we need special handle for $error

Next Week:

• Continue on DebugValueInst
• Fix FloatLiteral so that it can handle both float, double and float80 if canonical SIL used

Jan 31 - Feb 6

Work done:

• Investigated the reason of Seg Fault for DebugValueInst

Difficulties:

• Not sure about how DebugValueInst should be handled in WALA

Learned:

• Some functions has "$error" as parameter but it doesn't appear on the argument list

Next Week:

• Continue on DebugValueInst
• Take on one unfinished type

Jan 24 - 30

Work done:

• Finished on handling Float Literal using BigDecimal

Difficulties:

• BigDecimal init with string function does not accept Inf/NaN, and only accept decimal, not hexadecimal

Learned:

• How to create java class and call function through JNI

Next Week:

• Continue on reading more codes to get a sense of how everything is put together
• Fix DebugValueInst

Jan 19 - 23

Work done:

• Setup environment
• Fixed ant code for compilation
• Started on Float Literal Handling with Mark

Difficulties:

• No native support for 80-bit float is provided by Java

Learned:

• Overall structure of the swift-wala project
• Swift SIL

Next Week:

• Continue on implementing Float Literal
