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