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...

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...

Structuring Optimizing Transformations and Proving Them Sound
A compiler optimization is sound if the optimized program that it produces is semantically equivalent to the input program. The proofs of semantic equivalence are usually tedious....

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...

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...
