What CompCert does
CompCert is a formally verified C compiler for safety-critical and high-assurance software. It helps engineering teams ensure that the generated machine code matches the intended semantics of the source code.
Instead of relying on a conventional compiler that may introduce unexpected behavior, CompCert provides a mathematically verified compilation process, reducing compiler-related risks in embedded software development.
- Formally verified compilation of C code
- Strong guarantees on compiler correctness
- Reduced risk of compiler-introduced defects
- Support for high-assurance software development
- Reliable code generation for safety-critical systems
By increasing trust in the compilation process, CompCert helps teams build more reliable embedded software and strengthen the foundation for certification and safety assurance.
General Features
Formally verified compiler
Mathematically proven to preserve source code semantics during compilation.
Compiler correctness
Eliminates risks caused by compiler-induced behavior.
Trusted code generation
Reliable machine code for high-assurance embedded systems.
Certification support
Supports safety-critical and regulated development environments.
Reduced toolchain risk
Removes a key uncertainty in the software development chain.
Award-winning technology
Recognized with the ACM Software System Award.
Why CompCert
In safety-critical software, trust in source code is not enough. The compilation process must be reliable.
