Checklist for GIMPLE assignments
=================================

The assignments  have been  designed with specific  learning objectives.
The following  self-assessment list should give  you a fair idea  of the
extent to which you have learnt the expected material.

Please try to respond to these statements after doing the assignments on
GIMPLE.  Your responses  to the  statements  could be:  `Yes', `No',  or
`Partly', or `I am not sure'.

Please  make sure  that you  move to  an assignment  only after  getting
mostly  `Yes' on  the checklist  for  the previous  assignment. This  is
advisable  even if  this seems  to slow  down your  progress because  in
general, an  assignment assumes the  knowledge gained from  the previous
assignment.

In case  you are  unable to  say `Yes'  for many  of the  statements, we
advise you to  talk to a Teaching Assistant to  clarify the concepts. If
the need be, we  will try to find someone to  explain the concepts later
in the evening.



Assignment 1
------------

	1. I know how to add a pass
	   a. I know how to instantiate a data structure for adding a pass.
	      (use of `struct gimple_opt_pass', 
		      `struct simple_ipa_opt_pass' )
	   b. I know how to include the pass as a dynamic plugin by
	      i.  specifying the positioning of the pass in `struct register_pass_info'
	      ii. activating the plugin in function `plugin_init'

	2. I know the difference in the specification of an intraprocedural pass and
           interprocedural pass in terms of .
	   a. Order of execution of intraprocedural passes over a set of functions.
	   b. Order of execution of interprocedural passes over a set of functions.

Assignment 2
------------

	1. I can identify the following types of GIMPLE statements
	   a. GIMPLE assignment statement
	   b. GIMPLE call statement
	   c. GIMPLE conditional statement
	2. I can extract the right hand side of the assignment statement
	   a. operands and its types (Pointer, constants, integer, etc)
	   b. operators and its types (unary, binary)
	3. I can access global variables in a file.
	4. I can access local variables of a function.
	5. I can access formal parameters of a functions.
	6. I can iterate over basic blocks in a function.
	7. I can iterate over statements in a basic block.

Assignment 3
------------

	At the end of this assignment, you should know how to:
	1. I can identify if the assignment statement contains a constant value.
	2. I can extract the integer constant value.
	3. I can construct a GIMPLE assignment statement.
	4. I can replace a GIMPLE statement with another GIMPLE statement.

Assignment 4
------------

	1. I can iterate over all the functions in call graph.
	2. I can identify the `main' function.
	3. I can access the callers and callees of a function by iterating over 
	   cgraph structure.
	4. I am able to print the name of a function.

Assignment 5
------------
	
	1. I know how to generate combined output for multiple input files.
	2. I know how to load both callgraph and function bodies and how to load
	   only callgraph in link time optimization.
