We can, but what kind of information are you looking for? First and foremost, please get GCC sources and make sure you can build GCC from them and then run the testsuite. If you need it, the following links should help you: - How to check out our sources using svn and git is described at https://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html and https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GitMirror respectively. - Steps linked from https://gcc.gnu.org/install/ show you how to configure, build and test GCC is described in (look for --disable-bootstrap, among other things). - You may also want to look at https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC and https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted wiki pages. For the OMPD task, you will primarily want to look at the OMP run-time that is in the libgomp subdirectory (and on the libgomp.exp part of the testsuite). You will probably also want to have a look at how to build GDB. The OMPD itself is described in the latest TR of the upcoming version of the OpenMP standard: http://www.openmp.org/wp-content/uploads/openmp-TR6.pdf I assume that once you familiarize with the standard and look at how the OpenMP run-time is organized (at least roughly), you will want to reach out to Jakub (CCed) to figure out how to structure your work. Good luck! Martin
