But it's been a very long time since I dove into a large software project and it's intimidating. I do know C (really C++, I haven't used plain C for a long time). I am one of those "aging" types but I am familiar at least superficially with newer tools because I must use them for work, specifically git and Slack (Mattermost seems to be an open-source Slack alternative) -- we make heavy use of Slack in particular. > > > > Is there some kind of "getting started" guide? > > > > Katherine Holcomb > > UVA Research Computing  https://www.rc.virginia.edu > > kah3f@virginia.edu    434-982-5948 > > > > In your case I would recommend just pick a bug and start exploring it with > gdb and valgrind.

The overall design has not changed from when g95 was imported to become gfortran. There are a few new intrinsics coming with F2023. Perhaps, this might be a point of entry (pun intended) for returning to gfortran hacking. Katherine, your return will be most welcomed. -- Steve
