Abstract:

The validation method based on partial evaluation is a novel and effect method to validate compilers. However, in this method the static inputs and their values are specified by hand in the partial evaluation stage, which possesses blindly and limits the framework to run automatically. This paper solves this limitation by proposing an automatic method, which is based on variable dependency, to specify the static inputs and their values. The validation framework can work automatically shipped with this method, therefore improve the efficiency of testing. Results of the experiment show that this method is applicable and effect.

Key words: computer software, compiler test, partial evaluation, static input, program static analysis
