Hi,

I was wondering if there are any C++ test suites that are open source? I am
helping with the Open Watcom compiler and am interested in bring it up to
C++98 compliance level. Obviously this could be done without a test suite
but it would be a great aid.

Regards,

Carl

I don't know this for sure, but I would assume that gcc has lots of
test-suites.

None that I know of that are more than superficial. But see what might
still be available for gcc.

No, it can't.

I meant it can be done without an external test suite, by producing our own.

I should always remember to be explicit around here ;-)

Thanks anyway.

BTW, I also rmember an article in CUJ last year (or maybe early this year)
in which a Master student told about his master thesis: to describe the ansi
comformance of compilers.
He must have used some kind of test-suite, so maybe you can find out what he
did.

You can find one here:

  http://petef.port5.com/cpp/stltest.html

 | STL test suite
 |
 | This is a set of 225 tests to check conformance of C++ compilers
 | and libraries to the ISO Standard. The specific area covered is
 | STL.
 |
 | This testsuite is derived from the STLport testsuite, which is
 | derived from the Cygnus Solutions STL testsuite, which is based on
 | ObjectSpace STL examples. Unlike the STLport version, STLport is
 | not needed to run this.
