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