Abstract
The functions wrap, readF,H, and writeF,H presented in the last chapter facilitate the definition of the abstract transfer functions; that is, the semantic equations that specify how an abstract state is converted by executing Core C programs. In contrast to the concrete semantics, the abstract semantics naturally summarises several runs of a concrete program such that a lifting to sets of states, as done in the form of the collecting semantics, is not necessary to calculate a fixpoint.
