I've been interested in compiler development for a while, and would lov= e to work with any of you as part of GSoC, or even just as a side-project on my = own. I'm an 18 year-old student going into university next year with a passion f= or all things open source and low level. I consider myself fluent in c, and profic= ient with c++, rust, and x86 assembly, but unfamiliar with practical compiler de= sign. I have done some reading on the theoretical aspects of compilers, however. While I haven't worked with the GCC community before, I have worked with th= e linux community and have made several small patches there, so I am familiar with = both email-based workflows and the principles of open-source development.=20 This summer, I'm looking for more experience working on larger projects, as= well as getting into real compilers. Of particular interest to me is the project idea labelled "Bypass assembler= when generating LTO object files." I see that the project was taken last year, b= ut I can find no sign of any changes committed to trunk=20 (`git shortlog --after=3D2022-01-01 | grep -i -E "lto|assembl(er|y)"` shows= nothing related to this project) and no sign of any needed change made in the code. Is this project still available? I'm also willing to work on other projects, ideally in the middle/backend, = but currently I have only been experimenting with the gcc/[lto,data]-streamer* = files. If anyone has a small or medium sized project idea, please feel free to let= me know. I look forward to working with all of you in the future, Peter Lafreniere
