 % this could include multi-cycle operations and pipelining optimisations so that division and multiplication operators also become more efficient.
 
-Finally, it's worth considering how trustworthy \vericert{} is compared to other HLS tools. The guarantee of full functional equivalence between input and output that \vericert{} provides is a strong one, the semantics for the source and target languages are both well-established, and Coq is a mature and thoroughly tested system. However, \vericert{} cannot guarantee to provide an output for every valid input -- for instance, as remarked in Section~\ref{sec:proof:htl_verilog}, \vericert{} will error out if given a program with more than about four million instructions! -- but our evaluation indicates that it does not seem to error out too frequently. And of course, \vericert{} cannot guarantee that the final hardware produced will be correct, because the Verilog it generates must pass through a series of unverified tools along the way. This concern may be allayed in the future thanks to recent work by~\citet{10.1145/3437992.3439916} to produce a verified logic synthesis tool.
