Abstract

The Ada Compiler Validation Capability consists of tests, tools, procedures, and documentation designed to enforce (and encourage) development of compilers that conform to the Ada language Standard. In this paper, we discuss our approach to solving the principal problems faced in developing and using such a capability.
