About the Idea Presented by GCC for Google Summer of Code

[Chethan M]

Hello Sir/Madam,
          I am a 2nd Year Computer Science student from Bangalore.I am
Interested in an idea presented by the GCC for Google Summer of Code.The
idea is about creating built in functions for folding for constant
arguments and expanding inline,Which would be mentored by  Joseph Myers.
           I found this idea interesting and really possible for me. But
I'm finding difficulty in proposing the the project as i never worked for
Open source soft wares.Would you Please help me with more description for
the idea or with some suggestion?

Thank you.

Please see the description I posted at 
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2018-03/msg00001.html> discussing various 
examples of what might be involved for particular functions, and see if 
you can identify some of the relevant parts of the GCC sources for 
existing built-in math.h functions that would serve as a guide to the 
sorts of things that would be needed for implementing the new functions.
