This was an interesting write up on code refactoring from GSoC. Since continuations are a big part of Smalltalk, it was particularly interesting to read about Continuation Passing C.

Dear all,

We were so excited about our QEMU/CPC GSoC project that we have decided to write a 12-page article to share our experience:

QEMU/CPC: static analysis and CPS conversion for safe, portable, and efficient coroutines http://gabriel.kerneis.info/research/files/qemu-cpc.pdf

If you want to learn more about QEMU internals, how we fixed hundreds of lines of code with a small checking tool, or discover a nice compilation technique for coroutines, you will probably be interested in this article.

We also hope that other mentors will find it useful as a resource for prospective students looking for an example of past GSoC projects.

Thanks to Google, and everybody involved, for making this great project possible.
