I acknowledged that already. It wouldn't be a comprehensive test, just a novel one that wouldn't rely on there being another compiler available for the same language.
- Dylan16807 7y agoThe drifting you describe would pretty much never happen. The chance of outputting wrong code that affects self-compilation without breaking self-compilation, that then repeats? Very very small. And the compiler's already being used to compile itself all the time, so you're also testing some of the most-tested code.
