Hi there,

I am 3rd year computer science student at University of Windsor, Canada. I would like to apply for one of the projects for GCC.
On the website, it was recommended to contact team as soon as possible. So, I am sending this email to show my interest.

Also, I noticed that it is mentioned that student must have C\C++ experience. To be honest, I have used both these languages just as a part of my courseware. I am willing to put efforts to learn in deep if opportunity given.

This semester I am taking compiler course as well, so I have primarily knowledge about the compilers.

Hope to talk to you soon.

Thanks
Arunesh

Indeed, thank you.  We are glad that you find contributing to GCC
interesting.

Well, GCC is written mostly in C++ though because it was originally
written in C, it is not particularly "heavy."  You may not need to
define any templates in the course of your project but you would be
required to use them.  After all, have a look at the source code
yourself and decide for yourself, if you understand the code to the
point that you could extend it, little by little.

Great.  Select a project, start investigating what it would entail to
complete it and start putting together your proposal.  We on the mailing
list will be happy to help with any specific question or particular
problem.

Good luck,
