Hello,

We are delighted you found contributing to GCC interesting.  GCC has
applied to be part of GSoC 2024 but of course selected organizations
have not been announced yet.

While the list of suggested projects at
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode is undergoing review for 2024, I
think the Fortran ones will not change much.  Please look over them, try
to figure out what they would entail and which you'd like best.  In this
reply I have also CCed the Fortran mailing list, people there might help
you decide which Fortan project would be the best for you.

Contributing to the compiler also requires some rudimentary theoretical
background in compilers, at the very least understanding of the concept
of Intermediate Representation (IR), often also called Intermediate
Language (IL).  Googling either of the two terms should help you to find
a lot of material to familiarize yourself with it.

Please also look again at the "Before you apply" section of the idea
page https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode#Before_you_apply and make
sure you are able to build, install and test GCC and then have it
generate dumps and step through some function during compilation.

Also, feel free to ask for help here with any specific GCC development
issues you may encounter.

Good luck,

Martin

Thanks, I'll check them out.

Hello, I'm Gaurang Aswal, an undergraduate student from India. I'm
interested in working on Fortran projects, but I'm a bit confused and need
some guidance on getting started and selecting a suitable project. I've
already built, installed, and tested GCC, and I have a good understanding
of intermediate representation concepts. Could you help me with where to
start exactly?
