| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | This article proposes a method of increasing variation of test programs in automatic testing of C compilers by means of equivalent mutant generation. A mutation-based method, where test programs are generated by mutating existing test programs, has different merits from a grammar-based generation method, especially when seed test programs are properly chosen. One of the challenges for the mutation-based method is that applicable mutations have been limited because the mutations must not induce undefined behavior in test programs. This article introduces new types of mutations by bookkeeping the values of all the variables in seed test programs. Our new mutations generate equivalent test programs from a seed program in a sense that all the variable updates are done with the same values both in the seed and mutated programs. The mutations are based on 1) replacement of types and modifiers of variables, 2) interchange among scalar variables, array elements, and struct members, and 3) nesting statements with conditional and loop constructs. A test system based on the proposed method has detected bugs in GCC-5.5.0 and LLVM/Clang-3.5.2 by test programs which can not be generated by existing methods. | |
