For the C compiler there are two testing frameworks.

The "dg" tests and the "c-torture" tests.

c-torture is for generic tests -- ie, the test can/should operate
in the same manner regardless of the target configuration.  Within
the c-torture framework is 3 significant test categories:

	execution tests which must compile, link, execute  and exit
	with zero status if successful.  else the test should call
	abort.

	compile tests which just have to compile

	noncompile for tests which should produce compiler errors.


dg is for tests which don't fit into the c-torture framework and
allows much finer control over options, targets and other things.

The f-torture framework is much like the c-torture framework.

I barely know anything about the g++ old-deja framework (the g++.law
tests were actually written in the "mike-g++" framework and converted
by someone else to the old-deja framework a while back.
