'''CIL''' (C Intermediate Language) is a simplified subset of the [[C programming language]], as well as a set of tools for transforming C programs into that language.
{{R from subtopic}}
{{R to section}}
Several other tools use CIL as a way to have access to a C [[abstract syntax tree]]. Some of this programs are [[Frama-c]] (Framework to analyze C programs) or [[Compcert]] (C compiler proven in [[coq]]).

CIL was originally designed and implemented by [[George Necula]] et al. in 2002.
