Frama-C The OCaml compiler can generate native code for various architectures. One of the few code generation options is named -compact: $ ocamlopt -help Usage: ocamlopt <options> <files> Options are: ... -compact Optimize code size rather than speed ... One of the effects, perhaps the only effect(?), of this option is...
Read MoreThe OCaml runtime The OCaml runtime allows polymorphism through the uniform representation of types. Every OCaml value is represented as a single word, so that it is possible to have a single implementation for, say, “list of things”, with functions to access (e.g. List.length) and build (e.g. List.map) these lists...

Read MoreIn a previous post almost exactly one year ago before Frama-C Oxygen was released I mentioned that the then future release would incorporate a custom decimal-to-binary floating-point conversion function. The reason was that the system's strtof() and strtod() functions could not be trusted. This custom conversion function is written in...
Read MoreThis post is a follow up of this one A facetious colleague pointed out to me that the print_stmt function that is used to display the CFG in the post mentioned above behaves incorrectly when used over code that include string constants such as the one below: void f(const char...
