Dear community,
Although I have not been involved with GCC for a number of years, I would
like to share with the whole community the sad news that Prof Laurie
Hendren passed away recently. Her work on SIMPLE was a key inspiration for
the Tree SSA work in the early 2000s (
https://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/projects/tree-ssa/).
I briefly interacted with Laurie when she agreed to be an external reviewer
for my PhD thesis and, later on, when we started working on GIMPLE. She
taught me a lot and was always ready to help and offer guidance, with a
smile and keen insight. I will always be grateful for that.
Here is the announcement from McGill:

Albert Cohen tells me that SIGPLAN is preparing a formal post, and a
statement at PLDI next month. Probably more.
Diego.
