He spoke about using random input files to test compilers.  This is a standard security technique; the interesting aspect to his work was the effort to generate programs which were well-defined, thus permitting his group to test the optimizers.  They were able to generate an astonishing number of compiler crashes and miscompilations in every compiler they tested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I gave two talks on Go at the GCC Summit last week.
