Automake - Summer of Code - Has any student taken on the "Parse Makefile.am using an Abstract Syntax Tree" project?

[luukh]

Hi GNU staff,

I'm a Junior student in Computer Science at Oregon State University, US.

This afternoon, I just heard about this project from my Compiler class
instructor
which I just finished, so I'm totally aware that I'm very late to the party.

I'm interested in the project "*Parse Makefile.am using an Abstract Syntax
Tree". * I have 2 questions:

1. Has any student has proposed or taken on this project yet?
2. If there has been, should I or am I allowed to propose/apply to this
project?

Once I receive a "yes" from you, I will start writing the proposal
immediately and finished it in a day for you to revise.

A brief related technical background about me:


- Since I have just finished a course in Compiler at my university, I
have a basic understanding of Compiler phase. I have implemented a parser
for a subset of syntax of Python that generates an Abstract Syntax tree
from the source file as well as using GraphViz to visualize it. Here
<https://github.com/khashf/compyler> is the link to this project on
Github.


- I'm also in progress of completing the rest of the project, which is
generating LLVM IR representing the Python source program, then run some
optimizations on that IR before using it to generate object code for a
target machine.


- I have skills in Data Structure, Algorithm Analysis, intermediate
level in C/C++, and a basic understanding of Unix/Linux operating system.


- I don't have experience in Perl but I'm can pick it up quickly on the
project.


- Here <https://github.com/khashf> <https://github.com/khashf> is my
Github profile.


Thank you for your time.

Just out of curiosity who is your instructor? :-)

Yes there is already 2 candidates, but project attribution will made
after the deadline which is set to March, 27.

Yes you can still apply.

Looks interesting, Make sure to include those information in your
proposal draft. You can send this draft only to <***@gnu.org> and
drop <summer-of-***@gnu.org> from the Cc.

Thanks.
