Hello

        I want to apply the project "Improvements to GCC on Windows" of GCC
foundation. As a student, I have some theorectical knowledges about C/C++
and compiler technologies. And I am sure that the Windows platform has
steps that are little behind than other open source platforms in pure C/C++
technology. So I decided to work on GSoC 2018 with your "Windows
Improvement program". Please let me know if I am selected as a mentored
student in yours great project. I will be waiting for your kind reply.

Well, please note that you still need to apply formally through the GSoC
website to stand a chance to be selected, that does not happen here.
We want students to contact us prior to applying so that their proposals
and goals make sense.

As far as improving GCC on Windows is concerned, we may find it
challenging to find you a mentor (I am CCing Jonathan Yong, the cygwin
and mingw-w64 maintainer, maybe he has an idea what could be done in
this area as a GSoC project and who might mentor it?).

Meanwhile, make sure you can build GCC from sources on Windows (I admit
I would not know how to do it myself!) and run the testsuite.

Good luck,

Martin

Thanks a lot for the information. I will do that. Hoping to work with great
people.

Hi, I have been away for work this past month.

There is a demand for a proper C++11 threading implementation for
Windows using native Windows APIs (post Vista APIs), I have not looked
too much into it, nor do I know if the scope is too big or too small for
a summer project. Liu Hao has worked on it, and should be familiar with
the scope, I have CC'ed him.

Never having run any gsoc programs, are there any specific procedures to
get it started?

Thank for your valuable information. I couldn't made it for GSoC 2018 due
to delay of my proposal application because of my University 1st semester
examination. If you guys allow me to apply this kind of project in future
(Not as GSoC applicant), I would be happily take part in it. Thanks in
advanced.

Well I thought I was almost forgotten.  XD

You might want to have a look at my benchmarking result at
<https://github.com/lhmouse/mcfgthread/wiki/Benchmarking>. Prebuilt
binaries are available at <https://gcc-mcf.lhmouse.com/>.

I haven't heard of anyone using this new thread model in production
environments. So it would be very kind of you for advertising for it.

I have been a little busy in recent days. I'll check it out in a day or
two. Thanks for your response.
