- I need to find or construct a testing suite for C++ compilers.
- Specifically, we have g++ on UNIX that needs to be tested, so it would be
- nice to have some things specific for that compiler too.
-
- The objectives are:
-
- to make sure all the header files are there
- to make sure there are no conflicts between header files
- to make sure major parts of the language work properly, like math, I/O, etc.
- to make sure that the installation is complete and that nothing is missing
-
- Other things that would be nice:
-
- things that would confuse a buggy optimizer or any other parts of the
- compiler.
-
-
- I will take anything from source code to just whatever comes to your mind
- about specific or general things that I should write code to test for.
- Also, it would be nice to have a complete list of all the header files
- that should exist, so I can include ALL of them in one file to make sure
- they're all there and they don't conflict. I am presuming that if C++
- checks out, then it will compile C properly as well, but if this is not
- the case all the time, I would like to know.
-
- Thanks much!
