Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This article proposes a method of reinforcing generation of control statements in random testing of compilers based on equivalence transformation on test programs. Existing methods for compiler random testing are divided into two classes, differential testing and oracle-based testing. The former approach can generate programs with wider syntax constructs but has difficulty in avoiding undefined behavior. The latter, on the other hand, can generate programs without undefined behavior but the programs are with less syntax variety, because it must construct data structures to hold semantic information while generating abstract syntax trees. This article attempts to strengthen the latter method so that it can generate a wider variety of control statements. A test generation method based on equivalence transformation on test programs is extended to generate while statements, switch statements, and function calls, in addition to if and for statements. An enhanced version of the test system Orange4 based on the proposed method has generated error programs to detect bugs in GCC-4.4 and GCC-4.8, which could not be generated by the existing methods.
