[net.lang.c++] test suite for C++

Thanks very much to Katsumi Kanasaki
(UUCP: ...!{hplabs,mcvax}!kddlab!titcca!koccvax!kossvax!patty!charlie!kana)
for the information about getting CC to compile programs correctly with
the math library included.  I didn't won't to rewrite CC either!

Now that I have learned that my cfront is working correctly, I would
appreciate any test programs that netters might have so that I can
really test it.  (Bjarne, any programs you can recommend/post would
be appreciated!)

As someone noted recently, just getting ``cout << "Hello, World!\n"; to
work is a valuable exercise because it tests the static constructors.
If you have the source, try building cfront and see if the result matches the
cfront that you already have; see if it produces the same output.

I, too, would like to see a GOOD set of benchmarks for C++.
I did the "hello world" test and the rebuilding cfront test
and these worked, however, I had a couple of programs that
still didn't work.  We really need a set of programs that does
a GOOD job of testing almost ALL if not of the parts of the processor.
I'm sure this is what Boyd is looking for, and I'd sure like to see
one.  Given the programs I've got and the behavior I see out of them,
I can't decide if I've got it installed "acceptably" or not.
