Abstract
A tool for the systematic production of test cases for a compiler is first presented. The input of the generator are formal grammars, derived from the definition of the reference language. This tool has been applied to the generation of test programs for Algol 68. For each construction which the language possesses, the syntactic structure of the corresponding test and the semantic verifications it contains are given. The test set has begun to be employed on a specific implementation. Discovered errors related to Algol 68 constructions are analysed.

A translation grammar for ALGOL 68
AFIPS '70 (Spring): Proceedings of the May 5-7, 1970, spring joint computer conferenceIn this paper, a translation grammar is presented for a major subset of the ALGOL 68 programming language. This translation is from ALGOL 68 into an intermediate language that was originally designed for an EULER programming system. It appears that many ...
