CompCert

Tool

CompCert is cited in the provided evidence as an example of deductive verification methods that can cover the transition from C programs to processor models. The same source notes that, in certification settings, such deductive verification does not eliminate the need for test sets that check conformance between an underlying processor model and real hardware.

Overview

CompCert is referenced as an example of deductive verification applied to the transition from C programs to processor models. In the cited certification-oriented discussion, the authors state that even if this transition has been completely covered by deductive verification methods “as in CompCert,” certification bodies will still require test sets that check whether the underlying processor model conforms to real hardware.
