Interest in GSoC Project (offloading to a separate process on the same host)

[PRANIL DEY]

Hello GCC Community,

I am Pranil Dey, a 4th year undergraduate student of the Indian Institute
of Technology Kharagpur currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Computer
Science and Engineering. I am interested in contributing to the GCC
projects under GSoC, specifically the projects : "Offloading to a separate
process on the same host" and "Improve nothrow detection in GCC".
I have worked on inter process communication in college operating systems
projects which have helped me understand more about shared memory, pipes
and multithreading concepts. I have also taken compiler design theory and
laboratory courses as a part of my institute curriculum. In the lab we
designed a Tiny-C compiler (a subset of GCC). Although I have no experience
with big projects like GCC, I have built the codebase and am currently
trying to understand it further. I would like some pointers to start
understanding and contributing to these projects along with any
helpful resources/reading material for delving deeper into the relevant
topic. Any guidance on proposal formulation will also be appreciated
greatly.

Thank You,
