I would suggest that you start with reading through Andi's email to another student who expressed interest in that project which you can find at: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2018-02/msg00216.html Andi, do you have any further suggestions what Prateek should check-out, perhaps build, examine and experiment with in order to come up with a nice proposal? Do you personally prefer starting with any particular existing fuzzer, for example? Good luck, Martin
