GSoC 2026 - Teach the Clang Static Analyzer to understand lifetime annotations
Google Summer of Code 2026 @ LLVM Compiler Infrastructure Commits on GitHub | Pull requests Motivation Clang can warn about lifetime bugs. Behind -Wlifetime-safety [1] it reads the lifetime annotations a function carries and reports a warning when a pointer or a reference that outlives the object it refers to escapes the function, or when the dead object is accessed through it.

This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to work on an LLVM project through Google Summer of Code 2025. As an undergraduate student passionate about compilers, I set out to tackle a problem that many LLVM developers face daily: the overwhelming nature of compilation data scattered across different flags, output formats, and locations.
