Greetings GNU Community,
My name is Vineet Purswani and I am a
fourth year Computer Science MTech Integrated student at IIT Kanpur, India. I am
interested in knowing more about a project listed on GNU GSOC ideas
page - Evaluating, selecting and integrating an Open Source ARM C-compiler into LibertyEiffel's back-endI have a
great interest in Computer Systems, specifically operating systems,
computer architecture and cloud computing. I did a project on compiler
design, wherein I developed a Java compiler in python using PLY library.
I have worked on NACHOS to test some of
the scheduling algorithms, demand paging techniques, implemented
condition variables and semaphores. I did an architecture project to get
my hands on over cache hierarchy techniques and branch & target
predictors. I am currently working on computer security projects,
wherein I have done control hijacking, privilege separation, learnt
about several symbolic execution techniques like DART, KLEE & EXE. I
have a basic knowledge of compiler design, databases,
functional programming, machine learning and computer security as well.
You can find my work

Kindly guide me as to how do I start working on this idea? Which bug fix/enhancement should I work on? Expectations in proposal?
Kindly share any details that you would like to share or any questions that you may have for me regarding this GSOC project.
Let me know what you think. Thanks a lot.
