In case you have not noticed, there was a message to this mailing list a week ago ( https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2023-February/240756.html ) about a basic implementation of this in a plug-in located at https://github.com/royjacobson/externis This may help you with thinking about the task and writing your proposal. Of course, the resulting project would have to be not a plugin and aim to give users more insight into the compilation process to be successful. But it may be a useful starting point. Apart from that, all David's advice was of course very good (but meanwhile we got accepted as a mentoring Org). Good luck! Martin
