An extensible framework for synthesizing efficient, verified parsers

Parsers have a long history in computer science. This thesis proposes a novel approach to synthesizing efficient, verified parsers by refinement, and presents a demonstration of this approach in the Fiat framework by synthesizing a parser for arithmetic expressions. The benefits of this framework may include more flexibility in the parsers that can be described, more control over the low-level details when necessary for performance, and automatic or mostly automatic correctness proofs.
