UPC-CompilerCheck: A Tool for Evaluating Error Detection Capabilities of UPC Compilers

| Abstract | Abstract—The ability of system software to detect compile-time errors and issue messages that help programmers quickly fix these errors is an important productivity criterion for developing and maintaining application programs. To evaluate this capability for Unified Parallel C (UPC) compilers, 3141 Compile-Time Error Detection (CTED) tests and a CTED evaluation tool, called UPC-CompilerCheck, have been devel-oped. UPC-CompilerCheck assigns a score from 0 to 5 for each compiler-generated error message based on the usefulness of the information in the message to help a programmer fix the error quickly. This tool also calculates average scores for each error category and then prints the results. Compiler vendors could use UPC-CompilerCheck to evaluate and im-prove the compile-time error detection capabilities of their UPC compilers. All tests, UPC-CompilerCheck and test results for the Berkeley, Cray, GNU and HP UPC compilers are freely available. Keywords-Languages; UPC; compile-time error detection. I. |
