Abstract

CompCert is a C compiler developed by Leroy et al, the majority of which is formalised and verified in the Coq proof assistant. The correctness theorem is defined in terms of a semantics for the 'CompCert C' language, but how can we gain faith in those semantics? We explore one approach: building an equivalent executable semantics that we can check test suites of code against. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
