Baker's choice. Dense with flavour, light on filler.
Summary
A collaborative effort by researchers from Cambridge University, Graz University of Technology, and ICube/Inria, France, has led to the development of a provenance-aware memory object model for C programming language. The model aims to define and trace the origins of pointer values in program execution, providing a precise mathematical specification to address ambiguities in the current C standard.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledOur provenance-aware memory object model for C provides a precise mathematical specification, in place of the ambiguity of these aspects of the current C standard.
It has also stimulated and informed discussion of provenance in the broader C, C++.
A common vision of so-called pointer provenance, defining how to trace the origins of pointer values through program execution, has been accepted by the C community.
