Version List Processing
Lead: Muhammad Wajih Rajani
Description:
- The task involves processing the version list received from the command-line to validate the architectural features.
- This includes parsing the list of architectural feature versions provided as command-line options.
- The parsed features need to be validated against the existing FMV code to ensure compatibility and correctness.
Approach:
1. Parsing Command-line Options: Use command-line parsing libraries or write custom code to extract the AFMV options provided by the user.
2. Validation of Architectural Features: Compare the parsed features against the existing FMV codebase to ensure compatibility and correctness.
3. Error Handling: Implement appropriate error handling mechanisms to deal with invalid or unsupported architectural feature versions.
Testing:
- Test the version list processing functionality with various combinations of AFMV options.
- Verify that valid options are accepted, and invalid options are rejected with informative error messages.
Skills and Knowledge Required:
- Proficiency in C/C++ programming language.
- Understanding of GCC codebase structure and organization.
- Familiarity with command-line parsing techniques and error handling in C/C++.
Independence from Other Tasks:
- Version list processing can be developed independently of other tasks as it primarily involves working with command-line arguments and validating feature versions.
- It does not depend on the completion of other tasks such as automatic cloning or diagnostic output.
Interface with Other Tasks:
- The version list processing functionality will interface with the command-line parsing module developed by Cameron Coenjarts to retrieve AFMV options.
- It may also interact with the automatic cloning task to ensure that the validated architectural features are correctly applied during function cloning.
Estimated Work Hours:
- Parsing Command-line Options: 4 hours
- Validation of Architectural Features: 6 hours
- Error Handling: 2 hours
- Total: 12 hours
Update Documentation
Description:
- The task involves updating the existing GCC IFUNC and FMV documentation for all architectures.
- Additionally, it requires creating documentation specifically for the AFMV feature introduced in this project.
Approach:
1. Review Existing Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the current IFUNC and FMV documentation available in the GCC codebase.
2. Identify Changes: Identify sections of the documentation that need to be updated to reflect the changes introduced by the AFMV feature.
3. Create New Documentation: Develop new documentation specifically detailing the AFMV feature, including usage instructions and examples.
Testing:
- Review the updated and new documentation to ensure clarity, correctness, and completeness.
- Seek feedback from team members and potential users to refine the documentation further.
Skills and Knowledge Required:
- Proficiency in technical writing and documentation.
- Understanding of GCC architecture and feature sets.
- Ability to translate technical concepts into clear and concise documentation for users.
Independence from Other Tasks:
- Documentation can be updated and created independently of other tasks, as it primarily involves writing and editing text.
- It does not require changes to the codebase or interaction with other modules.
Interface with Other Tasks:
- The updated documentation will serve as a reference for users and developers implementing AFMV and related features.
- Feedback from other task leads and developers may inform updates and improvements to the documentation.
Estimated Work Hours:
- Review Existing Documentation: 2 hours
- Identify Changes: 2 hours
- Create New Documentation: 8 hours
- Total: 12 hours
Preference Task:
My preference from the tasks above would be version list processing, as it is more integral to the course and crucial for the completion of the project. I hope to achieve a higher score by focusing on this task.
I am very confident that I will be able to complete my work successfully. It is of significant interest to me, and completing it will improve my chances of receiving a better grade for university applications.
