Hello Anastasia,

we are very happy that you are considering contributing to GCC.

Various prospective contributors have shown interest in it but we have
not "promised" it to anyone, I don't think we can, so it is "available."
It has been discussed for example here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2023-February/240816.html

> How should I proceed to make a proposal.

I have listed what we expect to find in the proposal at
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode  (but I assume you have already
read that page).  You need to figure out what the project would entail
and write it down, with a little bit of detail and milestones.

We'll be happy to help answering any specific questions.

I do not know this area of the compiler particularly well, but generally
speaking, some basic level of knowledge of the theory is necessary - at
least of the basic data structures that compilers operate on
(intermediate language or intermediate representation).

Good luck!

Martin
