This is a practice talk for HCSS with not much new material.

We describe a novel method for machine-code verification: code is decompiled into tail-recursive functions and then verification proofs are performed in the native language of a theorem prover. Unlike established methods, our completely automatic decompiler allows proof reuse even between different instruction architectures. As a case study, we have verified full functional correctness of ARM , x86 and PowerPC implementations of a version of LISP similar to LISP 1 .5. Our tools are implemented in the HOL4 system.
