Leroy: formal certification of a compiler back-end

What changed

Machine-checked semantic preservation for a Cminor-to-PowerPC lightly optimizing back-end.

Scientific scope

The record is the sole-author POPL 2006 paper and its stated compiler back-end. Later CompCert front-ends, architectures, releases and end-to-end toolchain guarantees beyond the verified components remain separate.
