we are delighted you found contributing to GCC interesting.  On the
other hand, I am afraid you not only need fairly solid knowledge of
C/C++ to do that but also at least some rudimentary theoretical
background in the area of compilers.

Couple of days back another student asked for a textbook and I
recommended "Building an Optimizing Compiler" by Bob Morgan.  If you
read and understand it - or some other solid textbook on compilers - you
will be very well equipped for a GSoC with us... but not this year I am
afraid.

Good luck,

Martin Jambor
