Automatically proving the correctness of compiler optimizations
We describe a technique for automatically proving compiler optimizations sound, meaning that their transformations are always semantics-preserving. We first present a domainspeci...

Proving correctness of compiler optimizations by temporal logic
Many classical compiler optimizations can be elegantly expressed using rewrite rules of form: I = I if , where I, I are intermediate language instructions and is a property expre...

Proving optimizations correct using parameterized program equivalence
Translation validation is a technique for checking that, after an optimization has run, the input and output of the optimization are equivalent. Traditionally, translation validat...

Bringing Extensibility to Verified Compilers
Verified compilers, such as Leroy's CompCert, are accompanied by a fully checked correctness proof. Both the compiler and proof are often constructed with an interactive proo...

Formal certification of a compiler back-end or: programming a compiler with a proof assistant
This paper reports on the development and formal certification (proof of semantic preservation) of a compiler from Cminor (a Clike imperative language) to PowerPC assembly code, u...
