Formal Verification Tools

CompCert is a formally verified optimizing C compiler. "On typical embedded processors, code generated by CompCert typi­cally runs twice as fast as code generated by GCC without optimizations, and only 20% slower than GCC code at optimization level 3. Details about the benchmark mix used to obtain these numbers are avail­able on request."

CompCert is free for non-commercial use.
