Quantified Invariants are hard

• Corner cases

• Sizes

• Nested loops

• Code updates

• First order reasoning is hard

Page 9: TVLA: A system for inferring Quantified Invariants Tal Lev-Ami Tom Reps Mooly Sagiv Reinhard Wilhelm Greta Yorsh

Our approach

• Automatically infer sound invariants

• Library (PL) designers can define families of interesting invariants

• Limited form of invariants

• Sound but incomplete reasoning– Abstract interpretation over quantified invariants– Parameterized by the

Page 10: TVLA: A system for inferring Quantified Invariants Tal Lev-Ami Tom Reps Mooly Sagiv Reinhard Wilhelm Greta Yorsh

Applications

• Memory safety & preservation of data structure invariants [Dor, SAS’00, Loginov, ISSTA’08]

• Compile-time garbage collection [Shaham, SAS’03]• Correct API usage [Ramalingam, PLDI’02, Yahav.

PLDI’04]• Typestate verification [Yahav, ISSTA’06]• Partial & total correctness

– Sorting implementations [Lev-Ami, ISTTA’00, Rinetzky, SAS’05]

– Deutsch-Shorr-Waite [Loginov, SAS’06]• Thread modular shape analysis [Gotsman, PLDI’07]• Linearizability [Amit, CAV’07, Berdine, CAV’08]

Outline

• Canonical Abstraction [TOPLAS’02]

• Quantified Invariants

• Operating on Abstractions

Page 14: TVLA: A system for inferring Quantified Invariants Tal Lev-Ami Tom Reps Mooly Sagiv Reinhard Wilhelm Greta Yorsh

Abstract Interpretation[Cousot & Cousot]

• Checking interesting program properties is undecidable

• Use abstractions• Every verified property holds (sound)• But may fail to prove properties which

always hold (incomplete)– false alarms

• Minimal false alarms

Shape Analysis as Abstract Interpretation

• Represent concrete stores as labeled directed graphs– 2-valued structures {0, 1}– Abstract away

• Concrete locations• Primitive values

– But unbounded • Represent abstract stores as labeled directed graphs

– 3-vaued structures {0, 1, ½}– Several concrete nodes are represented by a summary

node– Abstract away field correlations

Page 21: TVLA: A system for inferring Quantified Invariants Tal Lev-Ami Tom Reps Mooly Sagiv Reinhard Wilhelm Greta Yorsh

Representing Concrete Stores by Logical Structures

• Parametric vocabulary

• Heap – Locations Individuals– Program variables Unary relations– Fields Binary relations

Representing Abstract Stores by 3-Valued Logical Structures

• A join semi-lattice: 0 1 = 1/2• {0, 1, ½} values for relations

Page 24: TVLA: A system for inferring Quantified Invariants Tal Lev-Ami Tom Reps Mooly Sagiv Reinhard Wilhelm Greta Yorsh

Canonical Abstraction ()

• Partition the individuals into equivalence classes based on the values of their unary relations– Every individual is mapped into its equivalence class

• Collapse binary relations via

– pS (u’1, u’2) = {pB (u1, u2) | f(u1)=u’1, f(u2)=u’2) }

• At most 2A abstract individuals

Canonical Abstraction and Equality

• Summary nodes may represent more than one element

• (In)equality need not be preserved under abstraction

• Explicitly record equality

• Summary nodes are nodes with eq(u, u)=1/2

• Partition the individuals into equivalence classes based on the values of their unary relations– Every individual is mapped into its equivalence class

• Collapse relations via

– pS (u’1, ..., u’k) = {pB (u1, ..., uk) | f(u1)=u’1, ..., f(u’k)=uk) }

• At most 2A abstract individuals

Limitations

• Information on summary nodes is lost

Page 33: TVLA: A system for inferring Quantified Invariants Tal Lev-Ami Tom Reps Mooly Sagiv Reinhard Wilhelm Greta Yorsh

Increasing Precision

• Global invariants– User-supplied, or consequence of the semantics

of the programming language

• Record extra information in the concrete interpretation– Tunes the abstraction– Refines the concretization

• Naturally expressed in FOTC

• Soundness is immediate• Can even guarantee precision under certain

– 3-valued logic Kleene evaluation

– Finite differencing & incremental algorithms[Reps, ESOP’03]

Proving Correctness of Sorting Implementations (Lev-Ami, Reps, S,

Wilhelm ISSTA 2000)• Partial correctness

– The elements are sorted– The list is a permutation of the original list

• Termination– At every loop iterations the set of elements

reachable from the head is decreased

Cutpoints

• An object is a cutpoint for an invocation– Reachable from actual parameters– Not pointed to by an actual parameter– Reachable without going through a parameter

Summary

• Canonical abstraction is powerful– Intuitive– Adapts to the property of interest– More instrumentation may mean more efficient

• Used to verify interesting program properties– Very few false alarms

• But scaling is an issue
