I want to verify if a C compiler confirms to the ANSI standard. Does anyone know of test suites for this purpose ?

If a understand correct you want to know if your compiler is a ANSI standard or not ? If i am correct you can find out this looking at the compiler's manual.Simple isn't it :) Gustavo Augusto Coelho email:coelho@plug-in.com.br Let's talk about C/C++ and Demos Porto Alegre - Brazil

Does your compiler becomes ANSI just because you write so inside the documentation? How do you know the compiler is in fact ANSI unless you can test it? The documentation could be lying, or simply inaccurate. --

The manual says it does, but this is a marketing issue. Harry

Correct > If i am correct you can find out this looking at the compiler's > manual.Simple isn't it :) Nope. That only tells you whether the vendor _CLAIMS_ the compiler is ANSI (or ISO) standard. Whether it _IS_ or not is an entirely different question. > > Gustavo Augusto Coelho > email:coelho@plug-in.com.br > Let's talk about C/C++ and Demos > Porto Alegre - Brazil > > > Martin Bonner Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Cambridge, ENGLAND +44 1223 441256 mbonner@pires.co.uk

I found something on an old CD-ROM. It's called "Plum Hall Validation Sampler" and dated 18-Jun-90. May be there's a newer version. It's shareware so it doesn't check all cases, just 80 of 101 (or so). If you want this old version, send me a mail, I'll mail it. Have a nice time...
