This is a small mixed compiler test suite consisting of
a) tests to see if the C compiler produces warnings when an often occuring
    semantic error like a==b; (statement withoue effect) or a[i]=++i;
    (undefined statement) occurs,
b) tests with maybe uncommon but correct ANSI/ISO C code like the duffy
    device and
c) tests with syntax errors which can not be accepted (without a warning)
    from an ANSI C compiler.
Because many compilers, espacially for embedded systems, are more half-compiler than
full-compiler and have several bugs, these tests are also for freestanding
implementations, but some of them may not work with some compilers because of
the allowed possible restrictions of freestanding AMSI C implementations.

For each test a separate compilation/project has to be done because an error
can produce aftereffects. A compilation/project takes only approx. 10
seconds/test and the whole test with evaluation of the results approx. 10 minutes.

In testlist.txt you can find the short descriptions of the tests and a list
with test results.

You can find more complex tests in the gcc-testsuite.
