GCC GSoC 2026: Call for project ideas and mentors

[Basile Starynkevitch]

Hello all,

On the gcc@gcc.gnu.org mailing list (archived at https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/ ..) I read
several messages about GCC GSoC (google summer of code) 2026.

I (Basile Starynkevitch in France) am volunteering to mentor one project.

I am currently teaching Linux programming at https://www.greenup-academy.fr/
and no longer working at CEA (see www.cea.fr and https://arxiv.org/abs/1109.0779 ...)

My project idea is to develop some open source expert system to improve GCC static analysis techniques
(working at the Gimple level) for ad-hoc static source code analysis and improved warnings to check
project specific coding rules (e.g. like those inside Qt or GTK ....)

(I even have a few dozen thousands of C++ lines on github, see RefPerSys/RefPerSys there).

I might have some students interested by that idea. They all are using Linux systems.

I need to understand how to proceed further (the bureaucracy on transferring copyright to FSF 
may be very challenging in France or in Africa, since GreenUp academy engineering school have ties 
and official partners in Cameroun).

Thanks
