In our Formalin project to formalize C11 (the ANSI/ISO standard of the C programming language) we discovered many subtleties that make formalization of this standard difficult. We discuss some of these subtleties and indicate how they may be addressed in a formal C semantics. Furthermore, we argue that the C standard does not allow Turing complete implementations, and that its evaluation semant...

Object-oriented programming with ANSI-C requires a fair amount ... concentrate on the creative aspects of problem solving with better techniques. ooc.

We describe a tool that formally verifies ANSI-C programs. The tool implements a technique called Bounded Model Checking (BMC). In BMC, the transition relation for a complex state machine and its specification are jointly unwound to obtain a Boolean formula, which is then checked for satisfiability by using a SAT procedure. The tool supports all ANSI-C integer operators and all pointer construc...
