Summary: A semantic parser for C

Description: 

Sparse, the semantic parser, provides a compiler frontend capable of
parsing most of ANSI C as well as many GCC extensions, and a collection
of sample compiler backends, including a static analyzer also called
"sparse".  Sparse provides a set of annotations designed to convey
semantic information about types, such as what address space pointers
point to, or what locks function acquires or releases.

Sparse is primarily used in the development and debugging of the Linux
kernel.
