- Additional information
- In verified compilation, the "linking gap" in the chain of trust is widely recognised. This paper is significant because it describes the first work offering a mathematically precise semantics for real (non-idealised) linking, and is the first to articulate its programmatic aspects (as opposed to linking purely as a mechanism for separate compilation). Our work has already influenced verification efforts at Amazon (doi:10.1007/978-3-319-96142-2_28).
