TenDRA is a C/C++ compiler developed, initially, by the DERA, the Defense Evaluation and Research Agency in the United Kingdom. A primary focus of the compiler is portability through conformance to standard APIs (ANSI, ISO, POSIX1, POSIX2, XPG3, XPG4, SVID3, UNIX95, among others). The compiler has strong static checking capabilities, including the ability to check programs for conformance to APIs which are not directly supported by system headers.
