The area of software verification has grown its importance in software engineering. This is a
bibliography of verification of a specialized class of softwares called compiler. The citations …

We report about it joint project of the universities at Karlsruhe, Kiel and Ulm on how to get
correct compilers for realistic programming languages. Arguing about compiler correctness …

This thesis presents the formal verification of the compiling specification for a simple, non-
optimizing compiler from the C-like programming language C0 to VAMP assembly code. The …

We evaluate the use of program checking to ensure the correctness of compiler
implementations. Our contributions in this paper are threefold: Firstly, we extend the …

In many cases, the effort of proving the correctness of large program systems seems not to
be justifiable. Since heuristics and programming tricks are used and necessary to solve …

Correct compilers are a vital precondition to ensure software correctness. Optimizations are
the most error-prone phases in compilers. In this paper, we formally verify dead code …

A verifying compiler ensures that the compiled code is always correct but the compiler may
also terminate with an error mesage and then fails to generate code. We argue that with …

This paper reports on a large verification effort in constructing an initial fully trusted bootstrap
compiler executable for a realistic system programming language and real target processor …

We introduce program checking with certificates by extending the traditional notion of black-
box program checking. Moreover, we establish program checking with certificates as a …

In theory, program result checking has been established as a well-suited method to
construct formally correct compiler frontends but it has never proved its practicality for real …
