-<h2>Open Projects</h2>
-
-<p>Here are a few tasks that are available for newcomers to work on, depending
-on what your interests are. This list is provided to generate ideas, it is not
-intended to be comprehensive. Please ask on cfe-dev for more specifics or to
-verify that one of these isn't already completed. :)</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li><b>Compile your favorite C/ObjC project with "clang -fsyntax-only"</b>:
-the clang type checker and verifier is quite close to complete (but not bug
-free!) for C and Objective C. We appreciate all reports of code that is
-rejected by the front-end, and if you notice invalid code that is not rejected
-by clang, that is also very important to us. For make-based projects,
-the <a href="get_started.html#ccc"><code>ccc</code></a> script in clang's
-<tt>utils</tt> folder might help to get you started.</li>
-
-<li><b>Compile your favorite C project with "clang -emit-llvm"</b>:
-The clang to LLVM converter is getting more mature, so you may be able to
-compile it. If not, please let us know. Again,
-<a href="get_started.html#ccc"><code>ccc</code></a> might help you. Once it
-compiles it should run. If not, that's a bug :)</li>
-
-<li><b>Overflow detection</b>: an interesting project would be to add a -ftrapv
-compilation mode that causes -emit-llvm to generate overflow tests for all
-signed integer arithmetic operators, and call abort if they overflow. Overflow
-is undefined in C and hard for people to reason about. LLVM IR also has
-intrinsics for generating arithmetic with overflow checks directly.</li>
-
-<li><b>Undefined behavior checking</b>: similar to adding -ftrapv, codegen could
-insert runtime checks for all sorts of different undefined behaviors, from
-reading uninitialized variables, buffer overflows, and many other things. This
-checking would be expensive, but the optimizers could eliminate many of the
-checks in some cases, and it would be very interesting to test code in this mode
-for certain crowds of people. Because the inserted code is coming from clang,
-the "abort" message could be very detailed about exactly what went wrong.</li>
-
-<li><b>Continue work on C++ support</b>: Implementing all of C++ is a very big
-job, but there are lots of little pieces that can be picked off and implemented.
-See the <a href="cxx_status.html">C++ status report page</a> to find out what is
-missing and what is already at least partially supported.</li>
-
-<li><b>Improve target support</b>: The current target interfaces are heavily
-stubbed out and need to be implemented fully. See the FIXME's in TargetInfo.
-Additionally, the actual target implementations (instances of TargetInfoImpl)
-also need to be completed.</li>
-
-<li><b>Implement an tool to generate code documentation</b>: Clang's
-library-based design allows it to be used by a variety of tools that reason
-about source code. One great application of Clang would be to build an
-auto-documentation system like doxygen that generates code documentation from
-source code. The advantage of using Clang for such a tool is that the tool would
-use the same preprocessor/parser/ASTs as the compiler itself, giving it a very
-rich understanding of the code.</li>
-
-<li><b>Use clang libraries to implement better versions of existing tools</b>:
-Clang is built as a set of libraries, which means that it is possible to
-implement capabilities similar to other source language tools, improving them
-in various ways. Two examples are <a href="http://distcc.samba.org/">distcc</a>
-and the <a href="http://delta.tigris.org/">delta testcase reduction tool</a>.
-The former can be improved to scale better and be more efficient. The later
-could also be faster and more efficient at reducing C-family programs if built
-on the clang preprocessor.</li>
-
-<li><b>Use clang libraries to extend Ragel with a JIT</b>: <a
-href="http://research.cs.queensu.ca/~thurston/ragel/">Ragel</a> is a state
-machine compiler that lets you embed C code into state machines and generate
-C code. It would be relatively easy to turn this into a JIT compiler using
-LLVM.</li>
-
-<li><b>Self-testing using clang</b>: There are several neat ways to
-improve the quality of clang by self-testing. Some examples:
-<ul>
- <li>Improve the reliability of AST printing and serialization by
- ensuring that the AST produced by clang on an input doesn't change
- when it is reparsed or unserialized.
-
- <li>Improve parser reliability and error generation by automatically
- or randomly changing the input checking that clang doesn't crash and
- that it doesn't generate excessive errors for small input
- changes. Manipulating the input at both the text and token levels is
- likely to produce interesting test cases.
-</ul>
-</li>
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>If you hit a bug with clang, it is very useful for us if you reduce the code
-that demonstrates the problem down to something small. There are many ways to
-do this; ask on cfe-dev for advice.</p>
