Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper proposes an automated method to test if C compilers properly perform VRP optimization. The VRP optimization is a sophisticated variant of constant folding that replaces subexpressions into constants at compile time, whose complex precondition may induce mis-optimization or under-optimization. The proposed method attempts to detect under-optimization by generating a pair of C programs, where VRP optimization is applicable to one program and VRP optimization is applied to the other program at source code level, and comparing the compiled assembly codes. The arithmetic expressions with VRP optimization opportunities are generated by propagating value ranges in the opposite direction to that in range analysis in the optimization and by appropriately choosing operators and operands. A test system has been implemented on top of a random test system Orange4, which detected under-optimization in the latest version 10.2.0 of GCC.
