Newcomer looking for mentorship on a HPC / Coverage related issue

Hi all, I'm a newcomer (not entirely new as I did have some contribution few years back but the workflow seems to have changed a lot) and is working on https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/15932. I'm looking for some (informal) mentorship on that issue - I think I know what the problem is https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/15932#note_283252, but I need someone with more experience to help developing a concrete plan before working on a fix, as this might involve two parts in GHC codebase: HPC source code and GHC/HsToCore/Coverage. I tried to ask for comments and other related bits on IRC few months back but that doesn't attract much attention. Now that I'm in the mood of hacking GHC again, I figure probably finding a mentorship might work better. Thanks! Javran

Hi all,
Hi Javran,
I'm a newcomer (not entirely new as I did have some contribution few years back but the workflow seems to have changed a lot) and is working on https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/15932. I'm looking for some (informal) mentorship on that issue - I think I know what the problem is https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/15932#note_283252, but I need someone with more experience to help developing a concrete plan before working on a fix, as this might involve two parts in GHC codebase: HPC source code and GHC/HsToCore/Coverage.
Thanks for the email! I would be happy to offer what help I can. I'll pick up on the ticket and, if you would like, we could schedule a meeting to discuss details. Cheers, - Ben
