This paper reports on the development and formal verification (proof of semantic
preservation) of CompCert, a compiler from Clight (a large subset of the C programming …

We designed, implemented, and deployed Alive2: a bounded translation validation tool for
the LLVM compiler's intermediate representation (IR). It limits resource consumption by, for …

This article describes the development and formal verification (proof of semantic
preservation) of a compiler back-end from Cminor (a simple imperative intermediate …

This paper presents Vellvm (verified LLVM), a framework for reasoning about programs
expressed in LLVM's intermediate representation and transformations that operate on it …

Recent program synthesis techniques help users customize CAD models (eg, for 3D
printing) by decompiling low-level triangle meshes to Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) …

Translation validation is a technique for checking that, after an optimization has run, the
input and output of the optimization are equivalent. Traditionally, translation validation has …

Modern compilers, such as LLVM and GCC, use a static single assignment (SSA)
intermediate representation (IR) to simplify and enable many advanced optimizations …

A program verifier produces reliable results only if both the logic used to justify the program's
correctness is sound, and the implementation of the program verifier is itself correct …
