Q: Does anyone have a C compiler test suite I can use?
A: Plum Hall (formerly in Cardiff, NJ; now in Hawaii) sells one; other packages are Ronald Guilmette's RoadTest(tm) Compiler Test Suites (ftp to netcom.com, pub/rfg/roadtest/announce.txt for information) and Nullstone's Automated Compiler Performance Analysis Tool (see http://www.nullstone.com). The FSF's GNU C (gcc) distribution includes a c-torture-test which checks a number of common problems with compilers. Kahan's paranoia test, found in netlib/paranoia on netlib.att.com, strenuously tests a C implementation's floating point capabilities.
