Just a community member like you. Here are a few things you can do till the time you get a response from either of those: - Try building gcc from source if you haven't till now, refer the docs https://gcc.gnu.org/install/ for detailed information and try building with bootstrap disabled if you want to save some time. Also it is recommended to build a debuggable version ( see next point for details ) so that you can efficiently use a debugger to step through the source code. - Once you have a proper version built from source, you can now use a debugger ( preferably gdb ) on it to get better understanding of the control flow. You can read the official docs ( https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebuggingGCC#gccbuilddebug ) or the gcc-newbies-guide by David Malcolm ( https://gcc-newbies-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/debugging.html ) for more information and instructions about debugging gcc. - Speaking of gcc-newbies-guide by David Malcolm, it is actually an amazing source to get started for new-comers ( https://gcc-newbies-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html ) Although Google is yet to announce list of selected organizations. Most of the stuff I mentioned is already present in the "Before you apply" ( https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode#Before_you_apply ) section of gcc's summer of code page. - Ankur > On 13-Feb-2023, at 7:04 PM, Kritika Rag via Gcc = wrote: >=20 > Hello Sir/Mam, >=20 >=20 >=20 > I=E2=80=99m Kritika Rag, a Computer Science pre-final year = undergraduate student > from India.
