- Kazimir says
-
- "There is no such official test suite for validating C"
-
- This is wrong. It does not help the argument to make such plainly incorrect
- statements. NIST has a formal validation procedure for C with a test suite
- that is officially used for this purpose. Many C compilers have been
- validated using this test suite.
-
- Now of course the statement is true with respect to C++, but certainly
- not with respect to C.
