How do you test compiler projects?

• hyperfine

  75 20,338 7.8 Rust

  A command-line benchmarking tool

Additionally, you can check against another proven compiler (for example, Rust or python) the output of yours to see if returns the same. It also can work as a benchmark (nice to run with https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine for example)

• AFLplusplus

  16 4,723 9.6 C

  The fuzzer afl++ is afl with community patches, qemu 5.1 upgrade, collision-free coverage, enhanced laf-intel & redqueen, AFLfast++ power schedules, MOpt mutators, unicorn_mode, and a lot more!

  

I use fuzzers, as every programmer should, and do not commit unless my compiler can be fuzzed for at least 24 hours without any crashes (if I were selling the software, I'd increase that period). I use AFL++ in LTO mode and comby-decomposer with a crappy script I made to collect crash test cases. I am also interested in afl-compiler-fuzzer, but have not yet tried it. Later, I'd like to try my hand at making a test generator that reaches codegen more often (no compile errors in the random source code). I use afl-tmin to minimize test cases, but the result is always illegible without manual work, and usually has extra junk the minimizer is incapable of deleting. Something like C-Reduce would be useful here.
