how can I contribute ?

[Fabien Chêne]

Hi!

I would like to contribute to GCC. For now, I plan to fix bugs in
the C++ FE. Later, I will be pleased to contribute to libstdc++.
I have started to work on PR32519 and I've got a patch for
it. How can I process ? Do I need GNU copyright assignment ? Do I
need SVN right access after approval ? Otherwise, can I send the
patch on gcc-patches so that someone else will commit it for me ?

Thanks in advance,

I suggest reading the introductory material in
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted/

That page will point you to the legal prerequisites for contributing.
Essentially, you need to assign your copyright to the FSF unless you
are working for an institution that already has an assignment in
place.

You will also get a description of the technical aspects of the
contributing process, how to format patches, coding conventions, etc.

Well, can someone please send me the paper to fill, in order to have
copyright assignment for all future changes ?

Thanks !
