+# CompCert
+The verified C compiler.
+
+## Overview
+The CompCert C verified compiler is a compiler for a large subset of the
+C programming language that generates code for the PowerPC, ARM and x86
+processors.
+
+The distinguishing feature of CompCert is that it has been formally
+verified using the Coq proof assistant: the generated assembly code is
+formally guaranteed to behave as prescribed by the semantics of the
+source C code.
+
+CompCert is an ongoing research project. The present release is an
+advanced prototype intended for research, educational and evaluation
+purposes.
+
+For more information on CompCert (supported platforms, supported C
+features, installation instructions, using the compiler, etc), please
+refer to the [user's manual](http://compcert.inria.fr/man/).
