Extension of the CSiBE benchmark

[Arpad Beszedes <beszedes at inf dot u-szeged dot hu>]

Dear all,

Inspired by a very positive feedback from the community, we would like 
to make the CSiBE benchmark for code size 
(http://sed.inf.u-szeged.hu/csibe/) even more useful by extending its 
test bed. It is very important the test bed to be representative and 
contains examples of various fields such as ingeger, floating point, 
mobile, network, embedded applications and even system code such as 
kernel modules.

For this, we are seeking for your help: what kind of applications, code 
snippets, modules, ... would you suggest? The test bed currently 
includes some media applications, complex integer- and 
control-compuation applications, text and data manipulation programs, 
etc. Currently the total size is about 1.2M (binary).

We are planning to add some network protocol implementations such as 
tcp/ip and parts of the linux kernel. Do you have some ideas on exactly 
which source code parts would be useful for this purpose? And what kind 
of other example programs would you like to see?
Please bear in mind that the example programs should compile for all 
supported targets (arm, i386, m68k, mips, ppc).

Thank you for you help. All suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Best regards,
  Arpad Beszedes
