I think that I didn't fully understand the project, so I read more and
updated the Timeline Suggestion.

Suggested Timeline:

   -

   May 1-26:
   -

      Explore Cython modules and try more realistic codes to see how it
      translates Python to c/c++.
      -

      Know more about entry-points that Cython uses.
      -

      Understand common bugs that happen when converting Python to c/c++.



   -

   Explore static analysis tool for CPython Extension code -which is
   written in Python- and try this analyzer to understand the bugs in
   translated Python code fully.
   -

   Know how we can emit warnings and errors.



   -

   Debug the codebase to grasp its structure and potential areas for
   improvement.


   -

   Weeks 1-2:
   -

      Understand more about reference counting verification.
      -

      Develop verifying reference counts for PyObjects passed as parameters.
      -

   Weeks 3-4:
   -

      Begin to investigate Error Handling Checking.
      -

      Understand how the Static Analysis tool does Error Handling checking.
      -

      Implement these checks in the plugin.
      -

   Weeks 5-7:
   -

      Begin to investigate Exception Handling Checking.
      -

      Understand how the Static Analysis tool does Exception Handling
      checking.
      -

      Implement these checks in the plugin.
      -

   Weeks 8-11
   -

      Begin to investigate Format String Checking.
      -

      Understand how the Static Analysis tool does Format String Checking.
      -

      Implement these checks in the plugin.
      -

   Week 12
   -

      Writing the GSoC wrapping-up document.
