Objectives
The incorrect use of pointers, such as null pointer dereference and memory leaks, is one of the most common (and expensive) sources of program errors.
Formal verification of programs using pointers is known to be a very hard task. In this course, we will survey Separation Logic, a recent extension of Hoare logic that addresses the problem of effective reasoning about pointers and allowing therefore efficient verification for this class of programs. Topics of the course will include frame inference, bi-abduction, abstraction, concurrency, and principles of automatic verification based on separation logic.
Dates The course spans the period 21 - 25 September, 2009.
Lectures are held daily 09.15 - 11:00 in Hall H3, E1 3.
