I'm need to do a project for my Masters in Engineering (Computer Science). Can anyone suggest one in Unix & C++. It has to be of 2 months duration and upto Masters level. Need ideas asap.

do something with the kernel, or device driver level. I'm kinda drawing a blank right now as to anything specific, but I'm sure if it's gotta be masters level, you can think of something.

how about develop a filesystem? (that might be more than 2 months, though...)

How about doing a new frontend or backend for GCC?

I know that a lot of people would like to use it to be able to compile to either Java bytecode or a .NET IL, but currently GCC is heavily dependant on register-based machines (through what's called the register transfer language.) I think it would be cool if someone wrote a stack transfer language (Java and .NET are stack-based machines.) If someone did that, then we could use the frontends for C/C++, Fortran, and all the other languages GCC currently understands to compile to either Java bytecode or .NET IL. That would be cool. (FYI, gcj currently works very differently from the other compilers for other languages.)

Hmm, that might be a bit too much work too though. It might be easier to work on a frontend for something like Mono (http://www.go-mono.com) or Portable.NET (http://www.southern-storm.com.au/portable_net.html).

Hi all,
Thanks for ur immediate response. But i prefer to do in application side.
Sam, ur idea seems to be very good...but too complicated too.

How about doing a simple Lisp interpreter?

how about writing a really sophisticated grammer checker?

last i checked, Apache doesnt have a solid front-end for a winXP environment...

in fact, i dont even remember if apache ports to winXP machines at all.

do that.

What does this have to do with Unix?

Apache does port to WinXP, I am using it currently to test my PHP scripts.
