Lots of queries since I requested the C compiler tester. Here's
responses. Note that I am not in the habit of testing C compilers.
None of the items listed is just a C compiler tester. I have not
tested all the sites listed later.
[apologies for any repeat articles, I keep crashing the poster]
config Steve Pemberton
metaconfig Larry Wall
paranoia Kahan, Sumner, Gay & Wichmann
Plum-Hall suite
The compiler tester I wanted was Steven Pemberton's config. Current
version (1990) is 4.2, and is probably at the sites listed below. It
covers a range of compiler related things, including maths library
routines and some ansi tests. Please, *nobody* write another program
called 'config'!
Larry Wall's metaconfig script generator does a wider coverage of
system/unix related stuff; very impressive, and geared for practical
script generation rather than just system diagnostics.
An informative test for maths libraries is Paranoia; a couple of sites
are listed for C sources. Paranoia exists in C, Fortran, Pascal and
Basic (having been successively translated from one to the other in
approximately reverse order).
Lastly, a couple of people mentioned the Plum-Hall benchmark suite:
commercial, but bits and pieces were released publically via BYTE. I
haven't followed this up.

Please, *nobody* write another program >called 'config'! Config has been renamed to 'enquire', and it's current version is 4.3. It appeared in comp.sources.misc, v15i095 (Volume 15, Issuei 95), under the name of enquire.c. Should therefore be available via the usual archive sites. -- Lars Wirzenius wirzeniu@cc.helsinki.fi
