[net.lang] C compiler validation suite wanted

greg@nmtvax.UUCP (05/24/84)

Does anybody out there know of the existence of a validation suite
for version 7 C compilers?  New Mexico Tech is in the middle of
producing a v7 C compiler for DEC-20s (TOPS-20), and it would be nice
if we could be reasonably sure that the language it compiled really
was C.

We are willing to beg (if it doesn't cost too much pride), buy (if it
doesn't cost too much money), or borrow such a beast.  It doesn't have
to be a *real* standard validation suite or anything like that;  it
just has to exercise the compiler (all phases) fairly strenuously.
I would think that, at the very least, any vendor selling C with its
machines would have something like this.

I prefer replies to me personally;  replies to the net are ok, except
that I will only look for them in net.lang.c (not in net.lang or
net.wanted).

Thanks in advance.

i remain,
greg
