Dear Ladies and Gentlemen! As you can read below, I need some information regarding the development of the GCC's. Some of the questions below were answered me already but I can not find any references to the use of formal or semi-formal methods. as - Logic / functional block diagrams - Flow charts - Data flow diagrams - Finite state machines / state transition diagrams - Timed Petri Nets - Entity Relationship Attribute data model - Messages history tables - Entscheidungs-/Wahrheitstabellen and CCS, CSP, HOL, LOTOS, OBJ, temporary logic, VDM and Z.
I would like to thank you in advance for your help, stand for any questions you may have in the meantime, I remain Yours sincerely Bernhard Kiefmann bernhard.kiefm...@stud.fh-campuswien.ac.at Am 29.03.2013 um 21:35 schrieb Bernhard Kiefmann <bernhard.kiefm...@stud.fh-campuswien.ac.at>: >> Dear Ladies and Gentlemen! >> >> My name is Bernhard Kiefmann and I'm writing my Master's thesis with the >> topic "the suitability of the GNU C compiler used in safety-related areas". >> The first problem with this is that I have to check if the compiler met the >> requirements of the international standard IEC 61508:2010.
