However, this is only a matter of putting more engineering work into the tool to make it reliable. If a test bench is available, it is also quite simple to check this property, as it just has to be randomly tested without even having to execute the output. + +In addition to that, specifically for an HLS tool taking C as input, undefined behaviour will allow the HLS tool to behave any way it wishes. This becomes even more important when passing the C to a verified HLS tool, as if it is not free of undefined behaviour, then none of the proofs will hold. \section{Guarantees of trusted code} |
