\eacsl translation brings several benefits. First, it allows a user to monitor
\C code and perform what is usually referred to as ``runtime assertion
checking''~\cite{runtime-assertion-checking}\footnote{In our context, ``runtime
annotation checking'' would be more precise.}. This is the
primary goal of \eacsl. Second, it allows to combine \framac and its
existing analyzers with other \C analyzers that do not natively understand the
\acsl
specification language. Third, the possibility to detect invalid annotations
during a concrete execution may be very helpful while writing a correct
specification of a given program, \emph{e.g.} for later program proving.
Finally, an executable specification makes it possible to check assertions that
cannot be verified statically and thus to establish a link between
runtime monitoring and static analysis tools such as
annotation checking'' would be more precise.}. This is the primary goal of
\eacsl. Indirectly, in combination with the \rte~\cite{rte}, this usage
allows the user to detect undefined behaviors in its \C code. Second, it allows

\valueplugin~\cite{value}\index{Value} or \wpplugin~\cite{wp}\index{Wp}.
Annotations used by the plug-in must be written in the \eacsl specification
