Sound Runtime Assertion Checking for Memory Properties via Program Transformation
Runtime Assertion Checking (RAC) for expressive specification languages is a non-trivial verification task, that becomes even more complex for memory-related properties of imperative languages with dynamic memory allocation. It is important to ensure the soundness of RAC verdicts, in particular when RAC reports the absence of failures for execution traces. This paper presents a formalization of a program transformation technique for RAC of memory properties for a representative language with pointers and memory operations, including dynamic allocation and deallocation. The generated program instrumentation relies on an axiomatized observation memory model, which is essential to record and monitor memory-related properties. We prove the soundness of RAC verdicts with regard to the semantics of this language.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to publish contributions at the junction of theory and practice. The objective is to disseminate applicable research. Thus new theoretical contributions are welcome where they are motivated by potential application; applications of existing formalisms are of interest if they show something novel about the approach or application.
In particular, the scope of Formal Aspects of Computing includes:
well-founded notations for the description of systems;
verifiable design methods;
elucidation of fundamental computational concepts;
approaches to fault-tolerant design;
theorem-proving support;
state-exploration tools;
formal underpinning of widely used notations and methods;
formal approaches to requirements analysis.
