<li><b>Undefined behavior checking</b>: CodeGen could
insert runtime checks for all sorts of different undefined behaviors, from
reading uninitialized variables, buffer overflows, and many other things. This
checking would be expensive, but the optimizers could eliminate many of the
checks in some cases, and it would be very interesting to test code in this mode
for certain crowds of people. Because the inserted code is coming from clang,
the "abort" message could be very detailed about exactly what went wrong.</li>
<li><b>Undefined behavior checking</b>:
Improve and extend the runtime checks for undefined behavior which CodeGen
inserts for the various <tt>-fsanitize=</tt> modes. A lot of issues can already
be caught, but there is more to do here.</li>
<li><b>Improve target support</b>: The current target interfaces are heavily
stubbed out and need to be implemented fully. See the FIXME's in TargetInfo.

distcc can be improved to scale better and be more efficient. Delta could be
faster and more efficient at reducing C-family programs if built on the clang
preprocessor, indent could do proper formatting for complex C++ features, and it
