1. He did much to help the homeless. 2. He did nothing to help the homeless. Do both " to help the homeless" function as an adverbial of purpose? Or the first does, but the second functions as an attributive? 两个句子中的不定式短语都是目的状语吗？还是说第一个是，而第二个是后置定语？

'To help the homeless' has the same function in both sentences. Its function is not attributive. I'd be interested to understand why you consider the second use to be attributive. Can you explain?

it's adverbial modifier of quantity for the predicate
