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/). + +## Copyright +The CompCert verified compiler is Copyright 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, +2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 Institut National de Recherche en +Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA).
