Hi, I plan to apply to GCC for GSoC 2026, and I am currently interested in the "Make cp-demangle non-recursive" project idea.
I have read the GSoC page, especially the "Before you apply" and "Application" sections, and I understand that applicants are expected to get familiar with checking out GCC, building it, running tests, and discussing project ideas with the community before submitting a formal proposal. This project looks like a good fit for me because it has a clear scope and focuses on a concrete C implementation problem: replacing recursive state in the demangler with an explicit work stack. Before I go further, I wanted to ask: - whether this is still considered a good candidate project for GSoC 2026, - whether there is recent discussion or prior work in this area that I should read first, - and whether there is a small starter task in or near this code that would be a good way to become familiar with it. I would appreciate any guidance on where to start. Thanks, Jialong Wang
