Modular Verification of Static Class Invariants
[chapter]
2005
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The methodology supports the three major uses of static fields and invariants in the Java library. The methodology is amenable to static, modular verification and is sound. ...
The consistency of static fields is described by static class invariants, which are enforced at the class level. ...
To support programming in the large, a crucial aspect of any specification and verification methodology is that it be modular. ...

Reasoning about Object Structures Using Ownership
[chapter]
2008
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Modular verification means that a class can be verified based on its implementation and the specifications of all classes it uses, but without knowing its subclasses and clients. ...
Our work focuses on modular specification and verification of object-oriented programs. ...
For instance, ownership has also been applied successfully to the modular verification of frame properties [29] , static class invariants [23] , reasoning about multi-threaded programs [5, 18] , confinement ...

Program Checking with Less Hassle
[chapter]
2014
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Two-step verification is implemented in AutoProof, our static verifier for Eiffel programs integrated in EVE (the Eiffel Verification Environment) and available online. ...
Two-step verification performs two independent verification attempts for each program element: one using standard modular reasoning, and another one after inlining and unrolling; comparing the outcomes ...
preconditions P , postconditions Q, invariants I (loop invariants in examples 1-5; class invariants in examples 6-8), and intermediate assertions A); the size (in lines) of the Boogie code generated by ...

Extended Static Checking: A Ten-Year Perspective
[chapter]
2001
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
A powerful approach to finding errors in computer software is to translate a given program into a verification condition, a logical formula that is valid if and only if the program is free of the classes ...

Figure 0 shows some classes of static checkers along the two dimensions. ...

Specification and verification challenges for sequential object-oriented programs
2007
Formal Aspects of Computing
Modularity is crucial to verify reusable classes such as library classes and for scalability. Many of our challenges stem from this modularity requirement. ...
It is essential that verification techniques are modular, that is, that they allow one to reason about a class independently of its clients and subclasses. ...
Acknowledgments We are grateful to Kristina Boysen, David Cok,Ádám Darvas, Fraaz Hussain, Bart Jacobs, Joseph Kiniry, and Joseph Ruskiewicz for their comments on draft versions of this paper. ...

Reasoning About Inheritance and Unrestricted Reuse in Object-Oriented Concurrent Systems
[chapter]
2016
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We also show results on verification reuse, based on a combination of Hoare-style logic and static checking. ...
The overall aim of this paper is to develop a formal framework for modular reasoning about classes and inheritance, supporting unrestricted reuse of code, as well as of specifications. ...
From our definition of class verification we get the following verification conditions for class BANK 1. B I B ⇒ I PerfectBank (h/PerfectBank ) (entailment of interface invariant) 2. ...

Finding Model-Checkable Needles in Large Source Code Haystacks: Modular Bug-Finding via Static Analysis and Dynamic Invariant Discovery
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
In this paper, we present a novel marriage of static and dynamic analysis. ...
While providing little in the way of verification, this approach may provide an additional quick and highly scalable bug-finding method for programs that are usually considered "too large to model check ...
Our approach to "modular verification" works more like many static analysis algorithms, which "give up" on pointers when alias analysis fails, and abandon overly complex paths. ...

Formal Techniques for Java Programs
[chapter]
2002
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This report gives an overview of the third ECOOP Workshop on Formal Techniques for Java Programs. It explains the motivation for such a workshop and summarizes the presentations and discussions. ...
Invariants can cause significant problems for modular verification, because the class invariants of all objects are supposed to hold at all calls and returns from all public methods. ...
The paper by Joachim van den Berg, Cees-Bart Breunesse, Bart Jacobs, and Erik Poll [vdBBJP01] discussed problems relating to the semantics and modular verification of class invariants. ...

Cooperation-based Invariants for OO Languages
2006
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
The approach introduced in this paper allows this for objects of mutually visible classes, in a way that supports modular verification. To this end, dependencies are made explicit by cooperation. ...
In general, invariants may depend on the state of other objects. ...
Acknowledgement We would like to thank Mike Barnett and Erik Poll for useful comments on earlier versions of this paper. ...

A Simple Sequential Reasoning Approach for Sound Modular Verification of Mainstream Multithreaded Programs
2007
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
Our approach supports immutable objects as well as static fields and static initializers. ...
Java or C# programs developed according to our model can be annotated by means of stylized comments to make the use of the model explicit. ...
It supports object invariants, but these can depend only on the fields of this. No claim of modular verification is made. ...
