- Split 588537 (ETW implementation) out of 584175 (probe unification). 584175 is r+'ed, NPOTB. Currently trying to land.

Done:
- Fixed Ts regression by writing on shutdown. Relanded.
- Did some investigation on allHUDServiceTests.js ,I think that the issue is some timing problem (not really caused by startupcache).
- Got talos Ts numbers for scache + mozJSCmpLdr + xulPrototypeCache. Doesn't show any perf win, this is bad/confusing.
Next:
- Investigate talos Ts more, see why / if it differs from vlad / joelr's script which showed a perf win earlier.
- Do work on cache invalidation stuff, looks like mwu is really close to finishing his part. (bug 533038)
Heard this morning that make may not invalidate on OSX. zpao is filing the bug.
Find things to put in startupcache or take some beta blockers?

ehren
Done:
added a few last minute changes to my static-checking fixes (bug 573786, bug 572819, bug 576214, bug 575720, bug 578235). dwitte will land once the tree opens.
asked for review on callgraph changes: bug 588002. Using the finish_decl callback from bug 584164, all the info needed for dead code can be gleamed from treehydra alone.
Experimented a little more with post callgraph generation dead code scripts:
Couple of things:
-Can speed things up considerably by computing transitive closure of main and other start points, then computing path relationships for only the remaining dead nodes.
-Whitelisting exported functions (those with default visibility) is too conservative.
-Regarding the display of dead code, the most useful grouping of dead nodes is not the most concise. ie it's better to separately register two dead subgraphs even if one is contained in the other.
Also:
looked a bit into ssa passes in treehydra as possible future project. I can get at the def of an ssa name (possibly a phi node) right now, but the really useful stuff will require hacking convert_tree.js
Next:
Need to coordinate with Lukkas and Dwitte regarding build-bot changes for static-checking builds. Time might be tight here but we should at least be able to get the wheels in motion.
Blog as preparation for presentation next week.

Done:
Working on bugs/enhancement requests on the topfails website.
Tried [ unsuccessfully ] to create a backPort tracking application for changeset landings. The idea is to ask for a release branch and check if all the relevant landings on the branch are ported appropriately to all the current & active named-branches. Unfortunately, the logic of deciphering what are current active named branches on a given release is not trivial.
Next:
May 21st is my last working day with Mozilla.

Bug 499904 - after exploring adding DBus handling directly into Fennec as part of the phone support component, I'm instead writing a small proxy utility that will intercept Maemo browser requests and use them to launch Fennec.

- Just finished helping to track down and kill what is hopefully the last ARM bug merged from Tracemonkey (bug 518227).
Next:
- Bug 506926 - fixing broken Fennec reftests on WinCE
- Faster fast-startup component (need to do remote start checking/comm before XUL setup is done, if possible)
- Need to be able to inhibit pop-up windows for FastStartup to work cleanly. In other words, if the user isn't interacting with the browser, it shouldn't be trying to interact with them. Best current example of this is bug 516794 (the part where we complain at startup)
- jsfunfuzz on WinCE
