We are glad that you find contributing to GCC interesting, I have already talked with Paul about you and the project a little. > > Kindly, let me know what I can do next to make my proposal stronger? > If you have not done so yet, please look at the "Before you apply" section of the idea page https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode#Before_you_apply and make sure you are able to build, install and test GCC and then have it generate dumps and step through some function during compilation. In your case, you will most likely want to start at how built-in functions representing atomic operations are defined in sync-builtins.def and used throughout the compiler. Grep is your friend. Feel free to ask here on the list if there is anything specific you don't understand or would like to know. Good luck, Martin
