This article proposes a method of generating test programs for random testing of C compilers based on equivalence transformation on C programs. Although equivalence transformation on programs is a promising way of deriving new test programs without undefined behavior, existing test generation methods had shortcomings that they needed valid seed test programs and that they applied only addition/deletion of statements to/from unreachable portion of the seed test programs. Our method is based on program transformation on live codes, and can generate a vast variety of test programs starting from a trivial C program. Furthermore, our method can control the resulting operand values of the subexpressions in generated test programs, which contributes to a higher bug detection capability. A random test systems, Orange4, implemented based on the proposed method has detected bugs in the latest development versions of GCC-6.0.0 and LLVM/Clang-3.9. It has also detected a bug in GCC-4.5.0 which cannot be detect by our previous methods. |
