    Abstract Interpretation for C

    Hi,

    I'm looking for any references about Abstract Interpretation
    applied to the language C. More precisely, I'm interested
    in the abstract domain for C, i.e. how the full set of
    C operations can be modeled as abstract operations.

    Do you know any publications/books or Internet resources
    concerning this topic? (I did not find anything on google.)

    Best regards,
    Tim

    Interesting. Maybe you could specify for the non initiated what do you
    understand by "abstract operation" ?

    Thanks

      Operations from the concrete language semantic (like C operator
      "*=") transformed into an abstract semantic.

        Would you say that you are looking for a Denotational Semantics
        analysis of C?

          Okay, what is an "abstract semantic"?

          Don't expect everyone here to understand what you mean by "abstract",
          other than its ordinary English meaning. We understand C; we don't
          necessarily understand the field of study whose terminology you're
          using. If you can provide a pointer to something that explains it, we
          might be able to help.
