Respected sir/mam,

Actually I want to know what are skills you desire to have in the members
of your organization as I’m aware with c &c++ so, can you please let me
know other than this what knowledge should I know for getting selected in
your franchise in deep

We are delighted you found contributing to GCC interesting.

Apart from C/C++ coding skills, most projects require some rudimentary
theoretical background in compilers.

Please look again at the "Before you apply" section of the
idea page https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode#Before_you_apply and
make sure you are able to build, install and test GCC and then have it
generate dumps and step through some function during compilation.

Afterwards, look at a suggested idea, try to identify the portion of GCC
source which is involved and email us back to the mailing list,
describing the idea and (often with help from the community) what is
your plan to address it.  Also, we'll be happy to help with any specific
GCC development issues you may encounter.

Good luck,

Martin

that depends on the project but for many, just having an idea what an
Intermediate Representation (IR), sometimes called Intermediate Language
(IL) is, can suffice.

But it really depends on what you would like to focus on.

Good luck,

Martin

Regarding GSOC

[Aniket Agarwalla]

Hello Sir,

I am interested in working with you in your shortlisted projects on Gsoc
2019 namely
"Add new math.h and complex.h functions as built-ins".
I would like to add that I have a good mathematical background and have
been doing competitive programming for years now.So I think I can work hard
on this project and complete the project as per the organization
requirements. I also wanted to know what more I can do or submit a proposal
to get a chance to work with your organization.

Thanking you

we are already in fairly advanced stage of putting together a proposal
for the same project with Tejas Joshi.  You can of course try to submit
a better one but it will be difficult.  Or you just have about time to
switch and attempt a different project idea.

Please look again at the "Before you apply" section of our GSoC wiki
page at https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode#Before_you_apply and make
sure you are able to build, install and test GCC and then have it
generate dumps and step through some function during compilation.

Then find bits of GCC that are relevant to your selected project and
continue exploring like above.  If you have any specific questions, feel
free to ask again here on the mailing list.

Good luck,

Martin
