A number of researchers have proposed the use of Boolean satisfiability solvers for verifying C programs. They encode correctness checks as Boolean formulas using finitization: ...
As developers modify software entities such as functions or variables to introduce new features, enhance old ones, or fix bugs, they must ensure that other entities in the software...
Function precedence protocols define ordering relations among function calls in a program. In some instances, precedence protocols are well-understood (e.g., a call to pthread mut...
Verifying that a piece of software has no bugs means proving that it has certain desired properties, such as an array index not taking values outside certain Abstract interpretati...
In recent years we have seen great progress made in the area of automatic source-level static analysis tools. However, most of today's program verification tools are limited ...
