Hi,
I am a student who is doing my Masters right now and wanted to be part of
SpiderMonkey as the concept of java-script compiler exits me.
I have worked on c++ code base in the past in GNASH project and also have
debugged GCC a bit in the past. Is there any bug I or small feature that
could be a good starting point for me to work on spider monkey ?
Would you like to start by fixing a bug, or adding a feature?
Here's an example of a feature you could add:
Implement ES6 %TypedArray%.{of, from}
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=896608
Note that this will be a significant time investment. It'll require very
carefully reading the specification (which is a monster) and doing a lot
of very detail-oriented C++ coding, as well as writing test cases in JS.
If you're interested, I'll be happy to help you get started! The first
step is to get in touch. If you're in a time zone near mine (Central
U.S.), that'll make things easier. Try this:
- install an IRC client
- figure out how to get on to irc.mozilla.org
- join the #jsapi channel
- say "jorendorff", during Central U.S. business hours, to get my attention.
