Hello you all out there,


please excuse if this is a FAQ, I'd be glad if you could
point me to it if so.


Simple question, but I'm afraid the answer won't be so
simple:


Are there any widely accepted C and C++ source files that
can be used to validate a compiler? E.g., is there some
test for ANSI compliance or something similar?


Ideal would be a source that can only be compiled after
correcting a known list of errors that a compiler must
report (together with all warnings that should have been
issued) for an algorithm with known results so that the
validity of the created executable can be tested.


Thanks for your help,


    Joerg Bredno
