Here my input:
For starters gcc has testsuite that can be used. It's not perfect but
its quite demanding - even if we cant do all the tests.
Do we have info on setting this up with simulator? I did have some
instruction - once!
After than I suggest some "benchmark" that would produce more normal
code and also give qualitative indications of performance (size is easy,
speed would be nice).
Finally, regression tests using testcases and bug reports.

- I, and others, are very interested in what you are using to test your
proposed changes. I have plans to put together an AVR Benchmark Suite,
consisting of a variety of publicly available programs that can be used
to test the compiler performance over time. It definitely needs to have
different types of programs, and publicly available programs so there
are no issues with distributing such a Benchmark Suite. I welcome any
collaboration on this.
Hi,
Over the course of years I have worked in and managed various
different hardware and software validation teams. This is probably a
good way for me to contribute, since I'm not a compiler back-end guru,
but I have relevant experience writing and reviewing test plans. Some
of those test plans even targeted C compilers :)
