Yeah... also I found the some of projects listed on gcc wiki (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki) has listed projects' owners, but I guess I'd better stick to the simple project for now consider I am a beginner. So does anyone know how to contact the owner of the following projects which I am currently particularly interested in, as listed on simple gcc projects page? 1. Make insn-recog.c use a byte-coded DFA 2. Convert reorg.c to use the flow graph 3. Find all the places that simplify RTL and make them use simplify-rtx.c It looks like these projects have reasonable size for me to progress and deliver. Hopefully I can ask more specific questions once get bootstrapped. Thanks! ~Michael On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 11:26 PM, Paulo J.
