Various prospective contributors have shown interest in it but we have not "promised" it to anyone, I don't think we can, so it is "available." It has been discussed for example here: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2023-February/240816.html > How should I proceed to make a proposal. I have listed what we expect to find in the proposal at https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode (but I assume you have already read that page). You need to figure out what the project would entail and write it down, with a little bit of detail and milestones. We'll be happy to help answering any specific questions. > Also I want to >know does having theoretical knowledge of compiler knowledge a >prerequisite for this proposal, if yes I will do a course on compiler >design. I do not know this area of the compiler particularly well, but generally speaking, some basic level of knowledge of the theory is necessary - at least of the basic data structures that compilers operate on (intermediate language or intermediate representation). Good luck! Martin
