Hi Peter BTW, in case you haven't seen it, I've written a guide aimed at new GCC contributors here: https://gcc-newbies-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html A good first step would be to try to build gcc from source, add try adding a simple warning that emits: "hello world, I'm compiling function 'foo'" for each function being compiled, and compile something with that... then try stepping through cc1 doing that in the debugger. There are instructions about that in the guide above. Hope this is helpful Dave
