Good, this is the all-important first step. > So what should I do now? "Trying to understand it more" is exactly the correct thing to. You also need to locate which of the bits within GCC are relevant to the project(s) you are interested in and start thinking what and where needs to be changed in order to implement it. If you have specific questions as you go about it, feel free to ask on this mailing list or on IRC. > Also, are bugs in https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/EasyHacks good > beginning or not? The page itself is unfortunately very outdated. However, the link to the bugzilla search near its top might still be useful. While it definitely helps, we do not strictly require applicants to do any "easy hacks" or patch submissions prior to application. The main reason is that there are not as many opportunities for truly easy fixes and improvements as other projects might have. Still, feel free to pursue one, it can only help! Good luck! Martin
