Auditing User-Provided Axioms in Software Verification Conditions
[chapter]
2013
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
A common approach to formally checking assertions inserted into a program is to first generate verification conditions, logical sentences that, if then proven, ensure the assertions are correct. Sometimes users provide axioms that get incorporated into verification conditions. Such axioms can capture aspects of the program's specification or can be hints to help automatic provers.
