www: De-list optimized debug info open project
It's unlikely that I'll have time in the summer to mentor a student
working on this project. At some point in the future I hope this project
is re-listed with a more targeted focus.

- <b>Description of the project:</b> Debugging optimized code can be
- frustrating. Variables may appear as "<value optimized out>" in the
- debugger, or may not appear at all. Line numbers in stack traces may disappear,
- or worse, become inaccurate. To improve the situation, we have to teach more
- LLVM optimization passes how to preserve debug info. The primary focus will be
- on mid-level IR passes which fail to pass verification by the
- <a href="https://reviews.llvm.org/D40512">Debugify utility</a>. This utility
- can identify passes which drop debug info in a targeted way and can simplify
- test case generation.
- </p>
- <p><b>Expected Results:</b>This project has two goals. Initially, the student
- will gather metrics on debug info loss for individual llvm passes. This will
- let us measure subsequent improvements. The second goal is to incrementally
- fix as many debug info loss bugs as possible, with a focus on areas of the
- compiler which are the hottest.</p>

- <p><b>Confirmed Mentor:</b> Vedant Kumar and Davide Italiano</p>
- <p><b>Desirable skills:</b> Intermediate knowledge of C++.</p>
