ACVC stands for Ada Compiler Validation Capability.
I'm not surprised that NYU's compiler was the first to pass all ACVC
tests since (I think) SofTech used Ada/Ed to develop the ACVC tests.
However, I believe passing ACVC tests is only part of the validation
process: some extra documentation must also be provided.
I remember someone at an AdaTEC conference saying something like:
If Ada/Ed is used to validate ACVC, and if ACVC is
used to validate Ada/Ed, does that mean that every
validated Ada compiler must have all the same bugs
found in ACVC and Ada/Ed?
Of course, real validation is done through the DoD, so the race is still on!
