| + | I think I will look at the optimization data to figure out how it optimized my application. I also need to build an optimized version of Firefox and run it.

Project Description
Firefox crashes or experiences bugs after creating PGO builds on Windows. The focus of this project is to determine what is causing these crashes or bugs and either patch/fix them or find solutions to allow for the optimizations without incurring the problems.

September
Met with Ted Mielczarek ( Sept 15th, 2008 )
| On Tuesday after the conference was over I met with Ted and we discussed how I can get started on the PGO Project. |
Created First Build ( Sept 17th, 2008 )
| I walked through the Mozilla documentation for how to build Firefox. I started here with getting the source code and continued until I received errors. Humph and Ted on IRC helped me sort it out and I successfully built Firefox. |
Created Project Page ( Sept 18th, 2008 )
| I created this page for the project and added it to the list of Projects. |
Working with PGO ( Sept 19th, 2008 )
| Working with some old assignments in c and c++ I tried to compile these programs with pgo options but the linker failed on both projects. Also tried from inside of Visual Studio 2008 but received compilation errors. |
Compiled an Old Assignment with PGO ( Sept 20th, 2008 )
| My previous attempts at compiling the old assignment failed because I was including object files that were compiled with a different compiler. Oops. I was successful at creating a PGO build with an old assignment. The program loads 15,000 random records from a text file into 4 tables each using a different method for storage and searching.
