/// @mainpage IkosCC
///
/// @section Introduction
///
/// IkosCC is static analyzer based on abstract interpretation
/// customized for proving absence of certain runtime errors on avionics
/// software written in C.  
///
/// Currently, IkosCC proves abscence of the following runtime errors:
///
/// - buffer overflow
/// - integer division by zero
/// - null dereference 
/// - use of uninitialized integer variables
/// - user-defined properties (similar to C assert)
///
/// IkosCC takes as input ARBOS AR \cite ikos code obtained after 
/// preprocessing LLVM bitecode \cite llvm.  At its core,
/// IkosCC relies on a value analysis 'a la' Mine \cite Mine06 that
/// allows reasoning about scalars, pointers and memory
/// contents. The value analysis has been extended with nullity and uninitialized variable 
/// information and it is parametric on the numerical domain 
/// (e.g., intervals \cite intervals, DBMs \cite dbm, octagons \cite octagons, etc). 
/// IkosCC uses a state-of-the-art fixpoint iterator \cite amatoSAS13.
///
/// All the analyses in IkosCC are implemented as ARBOS plugins. 
/// The design of IkosCC is such that it significantly facilitates the 
/// tedious and non-trivial task of implementing new analyses.
///
/// @section Documentation
///
/// The documentation is, for now only, composed of the Doxygen 
/// documentation of the code.
