There is not one solution, but a mixture of approaches may attract some developers. What about these "Summer of Code" things, why not writing articles for developer magazins. There is a need for good and easy tutorials about GIMPLE and gcc plugins. After your last post, I read about gcc plugins - very interesting indeed. A quick search revealed some articles/tutorials, but non of them gave me an "instant kick" to rush into. As far as I could see, you have to be an GIMPLE expert, before you start reading one of these articles. That might discourage some potential plugin developers. > However, in terms of human resources, there is simply no one interested in > working on this, ... I am a senior developer, and I use gcc every day. But I wasn't aware of gcc's plugin feature. Just spread the word and you might get some interested people.
