Natural proofs for structure, data, and separation

X Qiu, P Garg, A Ştefănescu, P Madhusudan - ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 2013 - dl.acm.org
We propose natural proofs for reasoning with programs that manipulate data-structures
against specifications that describe the structure of the heap, the data stored within it, and …

Matching μ-logic

X Chen, G Roşu - 2019 34th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Matching logic is a logic for specifying and reasoning about structure by means of patterns
and pattern matching. This paper makes two contributions. First, it proposes a sound and …

Decidable logics combining heap structures and data

P Madhusudan, G Parlato, X Qiu - Proceedings of the 38th annual ACM …, 2011 - dl.acm.org
We define a new logic, STRAND, that allows reasoning with heap-manipulating programs
using deductive verification and SMT solvers. STRAND logic (" STRucture ANd Data" logic) …

JBSE: A symbolic executor for java programs with complex heap inputs

P Braione, G Denaro, M Pezzè - Proceedings of the 2016 24th ACM …, 2016 - dl.acm.org
We present the Java Bytecode Symbolic Executor (JBSE), a symbolic executor for Java
programs that operates on complex heap inputs. JBSE implements both the novel Heap …

Recursive proofs for inductive tree data-structures

P Madhusudan, X Qiu, A Stefanescu - ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 2012 - dl.acm.org
We develop logical mechanisms and procedures to facilitate the verification of full functional
properties of inductive tree data-structures using recursion that are sound, incomplete, but …

Automatic induction proofs of data-structures in imperative programs

DH Chu, J Jaffar, MT Trinh - Proceedings of the 36th ACM SIGPLAN …, 2015 - dl.acm.org
We consider the problem of automated reasoning about dynamically manipulated data
structures. Essential properties are encoded as predicates whose definitions are formalized …

Symbolic execution of programs with heap inputs

P Braione, G Denaro, M Pezzè - Proceedings of the 2015 10th Joint …, 2015 - dl.acm.org
Symbolic analysis is a core component of many automatic test generation and program
verication approaches. To verify complex software systems, test and analysis techniques …

Bidirectional symbolic analysis for effective branch testing

M Baluda, G Denaro, M Pezzè - IEEE Transactions on Software …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Structural coverage metrics, and in particular branch coverage, are popular approaches to
measure the thoroughness of test suites. Unfortunately, the presence of elements that are …

Towards a unified proof framework for automated fixpoint reasoning using matching logic

X Chen, MT Trinh, N Rodrigues, L Peña… - Proceedings of the ACM …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
