Hi David,

gcc comes with a rather large test suite. Have a look at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/gcc/testsuite/

that could be a good starting point. Probably you could look at other
open compiler projects as well, such as pcc or llvm:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/****table_C_Compiler
http://llvm.org/docs/TestingGuide.html#wholeprograms

this is an example of how the tinyc compiler tests himself against the
gcc testsuite:
http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/tinycc/gcctestsuite.sh?root=tinycc&view=markup

Bye,
Carlo
