The GCC community welcomes all developers and contributions
consistent with the GCC Project and GNU Project. If volunteers want to
tackle HPC features for GCC, there are no inherent reasons for that work
would be rejected.
No one can say that an arbitrary implementation of those features
automatically will be accepted -- we need to see the patches. I would
recommend doing the development in public and discussing the evolving
design on the GCC mailinglists. Open development allows the GCC community
to see the design, provide feedback and make eventually accept the work
for merge into the official GCC sources.
Thanks, David
P.S. Approaching this with a demanding, confrontational "us vs
them" attitude is not productive.
