EuroLLVM’26

…was a lot of fun. It was great to meet more people from the LLVM community, which is always a welcoming, warm, and inspiring one. We also presented our work on verifying LLVM’s instruction selector, got some very helpful feedback and overall had the chance to meet and chat with many developers actively working on instruction selection in LLVM!

Three things I want to learn about in the upcoming months:

floating points, inspired by Matthias Springer’s talk

fastmath flags, inspired by Mikolaj Pirog’s talk

vectorization and its verification in LLVM, inspired by conversations with Luke Lau
