The test programs are the usual set of small benchmarks, which can be divided into two types:

1. some integer programs, which check the parameter passing mechanism and the handling of subroutine calls: Ackermann, Takeuchi, and Fibonacci.
2. some programs operating on lists, thus checking the handling of data structures: Treesort: sort by means of sorted trees, and Isort: sort by means of sorted lists,
