Google Summer of Code 2022

Possible Projects:

Note these are simply possible projects, we are open to accepting proposals with your own ideas.

HIR and Typed HIR Dumps

Improve debugging experience by improving the existing HIR dump to include HIR mappings information akin to rustc. We can leverage work here to then emit a name and type resolution dump. This will greatly improve the debugging experience with gcc-rust. We can use the official rustc compiler as a reference here for the HIR dump. We expect the HIR dump will output S-expressions which is a good format to allow for the mappings to be added. See the relevant github issues:
