Maybe you could base your work on an existing project like GCC or
LLVM. Both projects have probably tasks in different sizes. You could
also write a new frontend or backend for them.


I have a compiler project myself, so people are probably disappointed,
when I do not suggest something related to it. :-) So here it comes:


A Seed7 frontend for GCC or LLVM would certainly be an interesting
challenge. It would contain a lot of middle end work like the
conversion from one internal program representation to another. The
existing Seed7 to C compiler could be used as base. Send me mail if
you are interested...
