In the context of computer science, the C Bounded Model Checker (CBMC) is a bounded model checker for C programs.[1] It was the first such tool.[2]
CBMC has participated in the Competition on Software Verification (SV-COMP) in the years 2014–2022.[3] It came in first in at least one category in 2014, 2015, and 2017.
Applications
CBMC has been used to verify C code at Amazon Web Services.[4][5] It is used as model checker in the Kani and Crust verifiers for Rust,[6] and the JBMC bounded model checker for Java.[7]
