Hanan Samet implemented a register allocation tester that interfaced to two
Lisp-to-PDP-10 compilers as part of his PhD research way back in the mid
1970s. His tester was more general (and less efficient) than just a register
allocation tester: it tested every part of code generation and optimization,
including things like common subexpression elimination, changing calling
sequence conventions, replacement of recursion by iteration, and even many
hand-optimizations. Here's a reference:
Hanan Samet, Proving the Correctness of Heuristically Optimized Code,
CACM 21, 7 (July 1978), 570-582.
