Some tests are performed on many different processors from 8086 to modern CPU's. The initial purpose of the tests is the evaluation of my own compiler. This tests include program compiling. In this tests context.c (C port of context.cpp/4,506 lines/101,032 bytes), context.ctx (context.066 - port of context.cpp/4,247 lines/91,274 bytes) and context.pas (context.tp7/2,395 lines/65,001 bytes, context.tp1/2,362 lines/64,051 bytes, context.tp3/2,362 lines/63,419 bytes) compiled with different compilers listed below. Comparison with context.pas is not entirely correct since it's code is significantly different and smaller in size.

Most of the results were obtained on real machines, some were also obtained on emulators. Some of them are correct, others are not:
