There isn't much point testing with Comeau otherwise; the idea is to use its strictness to find bugs that other compilers miss.
Would intel in strict mode serve the same purpose?
I do not think so; but (assuming current Intel toolsets are not running in strict mode) I think that it could be beneficial to have one more toolset for Intel, recent version, running in strict mode. The more compilers see the code, the better chance to find a bug. But this opens question - who will run regression tests for this toolset? B.
