Abstract
This artifact [1] (accompanying our iFM 2023 paper [2]) describes the software we developed that contributed towards our analysis of OpenJDK's BitSet class. This class represents a vector of bits that grows as needed. Our analysis exposed numerous bugs. In our paper, we proposed and compared a number of solutions supported by formal specifications. Full mechanical verification of the BitSet class is not yet possible due to limited support for bitwise operations in KeY and bugs in BitSet. Our artifact contains proofs for a subset of the methods and new proof rules to support bitwise operators.
期刊介绍:
Science of Computer Programming is dedicated to the distribution of research results in the areas of software systems development, use and maintenance, including the software aspects of hardware design.
The journal has a wide scope ranging from the many facets of methodological foundations to the details of technical issues andthe aspects of industrial practice.
The subjects of interest to SCP cover the entire spectrum of methods for the entire life cycle of software systems, including
• Requirements, specification, design, validation, verification, coding, testing, maintenance, metrics and renovation of software;
• Design, implementation and evaluation of programming languages;
• Programming environments, development tools, visualisation and animation;
• Management of the development process;
• Human factors in software, software for social interaction, software for social computing;
• Cyber physical systems, and software for the interaction between the physical and the machine;
• Software aspects of infrastructure services, system administration, and network management.
