Re: ANSI C testsuite?

Which ANSI C Standard?  There are at least two different versions of
the ANSI/ISO C Standard.  GCC conforms quite well to the C85 (?)
Standard, but only a few features introduced in C99 are available in
GCC 2.95.2.  Some of them are already available in recent development
snapshots, but many new features are up to the C library to implement,
and GCC doesn't contain a C library, so you might only expect full
compliance if the C library of the OS you're running is fully
compliant.  Even then, you may find that some new feature may be
missing in the compiler.

I'm pretty sure there are commercially-available conformance
testsuites, but I don't know of any freely-available ones.
