+
-
+
- + Title: Adopting Hardened Compiler Options for C/C++ in CPython + +
- + Difficulty: Medium + +
- + Length: 175hr + +
- + Skills required: C/C++ development experience + +
-
+ Description: This project would reduce the potential for future memory safety vulnerabilities in Python by adopting hardened compiler options in the CPython codebase.
+
+ Task outline:
+-
+
- There's already a list of compiler option candidates to adopt, use that as the initial list. +
- Do some performance evaluation for how each compiler option affects performance (using CPython's existing performance suite). Report back on the performance impact of enabling each option. +
- Implement a small custom tool (proposed in the existing issue) that allows ignoring existing violations of compiler options while preventing future violations. At this point we've achieved a lot of value, all future CPython contributions will have these compiler options applied. +
- After the tooling is integrated, fill the rest of the project time by remediating known issues. +
