Hi.

After porting g++ to the Concurrent/Masscomp machines, I suddenly
thought to myself:

  Self, how are we going to validate this compiler?  How do we know that
  it behaves in a rational (:-)) manner?

  Okay, so it builds libg++ and runs the libg++ tests without a problem.
  What about larger and more complex applications?

So, my question to the net is: 
  "Does anyone know of a c++ validation/sanity suite?"

Any help in this area would be appreciated.
