+Infrastructure for C Program Analysis and Transformation
+
+CIL (C Intermediate Language) is a high-level representation along
+with a set of tools that permit easy analysis and source-to-source
+transformation of C programs.
+
+CIL is both lower-level than abstract-syntax trees, by clarifying
+ambiguous constructs and removing redundant ones, and also higher-level
+than typical intermediate languages designed for compilation, by
+maintaining types and a close relationship with the source program.
