Hi All

Can You Please Suggest

How To Test The Correctness And Completeness Of Grammar?
How To Test Compiler Components (Lexical Analyzer, Parser, Code
Generator)?

Any Specific Testing Techniques/Tool For The Above Tasks?

I'll Be Very Thankful For Yer Valuable Suggestions And Coments

Thanks And Regards

Asim
[I test them separately by building little test harnesses, e.g. a main
program that calls the lexer repeatedly and dumps out the tokens it
finds. Once the pieces start to work, I do a lot of regression testing
with input files and known translations. -John]
