Frequently Asked Technical Questions (CeeSafe)
How does CeeSafe integrate with Linux kernel builds?
CeeSafe compiles source code directly into C11, ensuring that the traditional kernel build system receives native-compatible code without complex wrappers.
Does CeeSafe require an extra compiler besides GCC?
No, unlike alternative approaches that mandate LLVM and secondary toolchains, CeeSafe generates code that leverages the native C compiler of the kernel.
What memory safety model does CeeSafe use?
It implements an ownership and borrowing verification model designed to prevent common memory access errors directly in systems-level code.
