@michalpaszkowski I created an updated list of failures here: https://gist.github.com/pmatos/f9cfad16426cf18de3b03ae8af5c630f

I am thinking about taking on one of the failures. I have been working on other parts of LLVM but would like to look at the SPIR-V backend, so will look at it for the first time. If there's an 'better' one for a beginner to look at, feel free to let me know.

@pmatos Great, thank you very much for the updated list! We welcome your contributions and would be very happy if you are able to help in any way! I believe these issues may give you a through understanding of the backend, but are not particularly simple to solve.

We also have a website with runtime testing results of the backend. Nearly all OpenCL conformance tests are passing, but I will be adding SYCL conformance tests to this website in the next month. There will be a rather large number of issues to fix.

Another area of work is adding support for SPIR-V extensions. Here is a draft pull request adding support for SPV_INTEL_arbitrary_precision_integers extension. The pull request will require a rebase after the currently ongoing changes to SPIRVModuleAnalysis, but you can base your work on the commit in this pull request if you would like to add new extensions. Here is a list of all extensions specs. We generally prefer to start with Khronos or Intel extensions first since we have a way to test these with a runtime and not just LIT tests.

Perfect @michalpaszkowski . Thanks for the thorough answer. I will take a look and see where I can help. If you attend EuroLLVM in the coming week, it would be great to meet you there.
