Please note that both projects have already been discussed on the mailing list. For information about the first one definitely have a look at https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2023-March/240833.html The C++ traits project has been discussed at least in https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2023-February/240816.html If you have any questions after reading through the above, feel free to email the mailing list again. > I can work on a small project/patch after this in a day or two.
