Rustc Testsuite Adapter for GCC Rust (GCCRS)

Project with GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) • Google Summer of Code 2024

My Google Summer of Code 2024 project involved creating a test suite adapter to run official rustc test cases on GCC Rust. Since rustc uses a different testing framework called Compiletest, I developed a command-line tool in Rust, rusttest-to-dg, to parse rustc test cases and convert them into a format compatible with GCC's DejaGNU testing framework.

Impact: This tool enables the GCC Rust project to leverage the comprehensive rustc test suite, significantly improving test coverage and ensuring compatibility with the official Rust compiler.

Improving user errors & Error Code Support for GCC Rust Frontend

Project with GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) • Google Summer of Code 2023

My Google Summer of Code 2023 project focused on adding error code support to the GCC Rust frontend, aligning it with rustc, the official Rust compiler. This work improved the developer experience by providing consistent error messages and codes across different Rust compiler implementations.

Impact: Enhanced error reporting in GCC Rust, making it easier for developers to understand and fix compilation errors, and bringing GCC Rust closer to feature parity with rustc.

I was the first student from my university campus to be selected for Google Summer of Code.

FirstContributions

I created a guide to help people in Pakistan and around the world make their first open-source contribution. This project aims to lower the barrier to entry for newcomers to open-source development.

Contributions to Major Projects

I have made contributions to various open-source projects, including:

• spcl/serverless-benchmarks at ETH Zürich
• Added a test case to clang/iterator_checker/tests in the Chromium project
• Contributed to the official python/devguide documentation
• Made a minor fix in GoogleChrome/chrome-extensions-samples
