Hello, We are delighted you found contributing to GCC interesting.

The compiler consists of many components and I cannot really recommend one as "best" in some way. All projects unfortunately require at least rudimentary knowledge of basic compiler internals concepts (perhaps the OpenMP scheduling for VMs might be an exception this year). Teaching the basics is outside of the scope of what we can do in GSoC, so I can only refer you to the "Before you apply" section of our GSoC wiki page at https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode#Before_you_apply > What would be a good starter issue to work on? These are not easy to find in GCC, unfortunately. Recently "GNU Tools Weekly News" posts started to contain "easy issue to tackle" (see for example https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2026-March/247631.html and others in the mailing list archive). Good luck! Martin
