Did you get it to output your messages? The next thing to do might be to try stepping through the code in the debugger; that's often a good way to learn about a new codebase. See: https://gcc-newbies-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/debugging.html and maybe have a look at the support scripts mentioned on that page. BTW, are you building trunk, or GCC 12? I've made a *lot* of changes to the analyzer in trunk, so it would be good for you to be working with something that's reasonably up-to-date. > > Best, > Shengyu > > P.S.

I'd prefer to keep the mailing list involved in the conversation, as other new contributors to GCC might find the info useful, and other existing GCC contributors might have input on some of the discussion.
