Various library providers (dinkumware, boost, ...) will tell you how
well their libraries work with various compilers. As a general rule,
compilers that do poorly with these libraries have compliance
problems. Of course there are language features that not every
library will test.
In addition to translating and executing valid programs, a complaint
compiler must diagnose some invalid constructs. I'm not aware of any
published results in this area. Of course a compiler might be able to
meet the diagnostic requirements of the standard by always issuing a
warning: "This translation unit may have problems."

Has anyone compared the compliance of various C++ compilers with Standard
C++ (98 or 03)?
A couple of Google searches haven't found anything.
Thanks.
