Abstract:Code generation is gaining popularity as a technique to bridge the gap between high-level models and executable code. We describe the theory underlying the PVS2C code generator that translates functional programs written using the PVS specification language to standalone, efficiently executable C code. We outline a correctness argument for the code generator. The techniques used are quite generic and can be applied to transform programs written in functional languages into imperative code. We use a formal mode… Show more
