How to get started with contribution

[parth rastogi via Gcc]

Respected Sir/Ma'am,
I am Parth Rastogi, a computer science undergrad. I have just entered my
second year at Manipal University Jaipur. I am new to open source
contributions but I am well aware of C++, C, Python, and Javascript. I
would love to contribute to your organization but could you please tell me
how to get started.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Regards
Parth Rastogi

Thanks for your interest in GCC!

A good place to start is by reading the project's mailing list (the
one you've contacted!) and if you did that, you would find this
question has already been asked and answered several times this month.
You could start by reading those previous threads, so we don't need to
keep repeating ourselves.

See these threads (and others):

Ping: ISO C3X proposal: nonnull qualifier

Hi,

Sorry for Clang people,
when I started this thread,
I wasn't subscribed to your list,
and some messages are not on your list.
You can find the complete thread on the GCC list:


I have a few questions for you.
See below, please.

On 11/16/21 13:34, Alejandro Colomar (man-pages) wrote:

$ cat _Nonnull.c
#include 

int *_Nonnull f(int *_Nullable p)
{
 if (!p)
 exit(1);
 return p;
}


- I get a warning from f().
   Ideally,
   a programmer should not need to cast
   (casts are dangerous),
   to convert a nullable pointer to a _Nonnull pointer.
   For that,
   appropriate checks should be in the preceeding code.
   Otherwise, a diagnostic should be issued.
   To be on the safe side,
   if a compiler has doubts,
   it should diagnose.

   There's some Clang document that talks about something similar.
   I don't know its validity,
   or if it was a draft before _Nonnull qualifiers.
   


That document suggests that I shouldn't get a diagnostic from f().
Why did I get a diagnostic?  (I tried clang 11, 13 & 14(experimental))


Is it talking about a different nonnull attribute/qualifier?
Was it about a proposal prior to the current _Nonnull?
Why is it not in use?  Was it too difficult to implement?


Do you think Clang could be improved to not warn on f()?


Thanks,
Alex
