I'm sorry that I didn't pay full attention; I've recently removed that Analyzer/OpenACC idea from the list of project ideas: I already have a student working on this, outside of GSoC. > Also, I noticed that this link in the project idea description is dead: > https://mid.mail-archive.com/875yp9pyyx.fsf@euler.schwinge.homeip.net Thanks for reporting. I'll fix that up (<https://inbox.sourceware.org/875yp9pyyx....@euler.schwinge.homeip.net>) in case we ever put this idea back in the list. Would there perhaps be another GCC project that you might consider for GSoC? Just one example: > I have previous experience in compilers (and working in large codebases) from > interning at IBM where I worked on their COBOL compiler So, as you've maybe heard, GCC recently got a COBOL front end contributed. Now, I don't know if there are currently any projects suitable for GSoC, and if the GCC/COBOL guys would be available for mentoring, but we could reach out to them if you'd like.
