Describes “Caduceus”: a tool to translate C code to the WhyML specification language lowering imperative code to pure code and handling pointers. Introduced the specification notation that later became ACSL and a forerunner to Frama-C.

Given current understanding of undefined behaviour and implementation defined behaviour in C, the translation from C looks a bit naïve.
