Abstract
Recent work has demonstrated that symbolic execution techniques can serve as a basis for formal analysis capable of automatically checking heap-manipulating software components against strong interface specifications. In this paper, we present an enhancement to existing symbolic execution algorithms for object-oriented programs that significantly improves upon the algorithms currently implemented in Bogor/Kiasan and JPF. To motivate and justify the new strategy for handling heap data in our enhanced approach, we present a significant empirical study of the performance of related algorithms and an interesting case counting analysis of the heap shapes that can appear in several widely used Java data structure packages.
