summary
A compiler plug-in framework called pink decouples plugin logic from GCC and LLVM, using MLIR as the neutral IR and gRPC between a plugin server and per-compiler clients; server provides logging, compatibility and integrity checks. Implemented GCC and LLVM clients translate IR; current coverage targets roughly 70–80% of GCC/LLVM IR. A migrated optimization (original GCC pass) yields ~7% SPEC CPU2000 int gain and is ported to LLVM in seven days. Code is open source.
