We are delighted you found contributing to GCC interesting. On the other hand, I am worried that you also need at least some rudimentary theoretical background in the area of compilers in order to apply. Nevertheless, you can definitely try yourself and see how difficult it will be. 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, if you still find contributing to GCC interesting, 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 which idea you liked best and what your thoughts about it are. Good luck, Martin
