C++ compiler performance test suite?

I wonder if anyone out there has a test suite for measuring the
performance of the code a C++ (cross) compiler generates.


I have not tried do define exactly what I want, but I think it
is something like this:


1) The programs in the test suite shall be able to run
in an embedded environment.


2) The programs shall measure the execution performance of
various important C++ language constructs, e.g.
object construction/destruction, exception try/throw,
inline functions, loop constructs, etc.


3) The programs shall be realistic in size and complexity.


4) The programs shall use C++ as it should be used, that is
according to generally accepted rules and guidelines.

[The usual advice is to use a program you actually plan to use as your
benchmark. Synthetic benchmarks invariably lie. I'd think that'd be a
particular problem with C++ since there are a lot of different programming
styles which work better or worse in different compilers. -John]
