Description

The CompCert C verified compiler is a compiler for a large subset of the C programming language that generates code for the PowerPC, ARM and x86 processors. The distinguishing feature of CompCert is that it has been formally verified using the Coq proof assistant: the generated assembly code is formally guaranteed to behave as prescribed by the semantics of the source C code. CompCert is not free software. This non-commercial release can only be used for evaluation, research, educational and personal purposes. A commercial version of CompCert, without this restriction and with professional support, can be purchased from AbsInt. See the file LICENSE for more information.
