Tests for compilerwriters?

[Bob Andrews]

Does anyone know of a testsuite suitable for use by a C compilerwriter?
It would be a series of standard C programs that test that tricky points
of the language (eg integer promotions) are handled correctly.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmmm... <does google search>.

Top hit: "ROOT_404-2g_version: test/ctorture.cxx File Reference".

Hmmm, doesn't look promising. <clicks link>

Hmmm, yep, it's C++ alright. Yuck!

Looks through other google results. All C++ (plus some links to bondage
crap!) <frowns>

There are two industry standard compiler test suites
