Generic Template-Based Synthesis of Program Abstractions
Marušák, Matej ; Holík, Lukáš (oponent) ; Malík, Viktor (vedoucí práce)
The goal of this work is to design and to implement a generic strategy solver to the 2LS tool. 2LS is an analyser for a static verification of programs written in C language. A verified program is analysed by an SMT solver using abstract interpretation. Convertion from an abstract state of the program into a logical formula, that an SMT solver can work with, is done by a component called strategy solver. In the current implementation, there is one strategy solver for each abstract domain. Our approach introduces a single generic strategy solver, which makes creating new domains easier. Also, this approach enables migration of the existing domains and hence the codebase can be reduced.

Template-Based Synthesis of Heap Abstractions
Malík, Viktor ; Hruška, Martin (oponent) ; Vojnar, Tomáš (vedoucí práce)
The goal of this work is to propose a shape analysis suitable for the context of the 2LS analyser. 2LS is a program analysis framework for C programs which is based on automatic invariant inference using an SMT solver. The proposed solution includes a way how the shape of a program heap can be described using logical formulae over bit-vectors and how a first-order SMT solver can be used to infer loop invariants and function summaries for each function of the analysed program. Our approach is based on pointer access paths that describe the shape of the heap by expressing the reachability of heap objects from pointer-typed program variables. The information obtained from the analysis can be used to prove various properties of programs manipulating dynamic data structures, mainly linked lists. The solution has been implemented in the 2LS framework and it brought a significant improvement in terms of the capabilities of 2LS in analysing heap-manipulating programs. This is demonstrated on benchmarks taken from the well-known International Competition on Software Verification (SV-COMP) as well as other benchmarks.

Program Loop Unwinding in the 2LS Framework
Nečas, František ; Vojnar, Tomáš (oponent) ; Malík, Viktor (vedoucí práce)
The goal of this work is to propose an improved unwinding mechanism for the 2LS formal verification tool. 2LS is a static analysis framework for C programs based on reasoning about programs using an SMT solver. It combines multiple common verification techniques into an algorithm called k I k I. One of the crucial parts of the algorithm is loop unwinding. Unfortunately, the existing solution does not correctly support unwinding of loops containing operations with dynamically allocated memory. Our proposed solution is based on unwinding loops in a GOTO program rather than the SSA form, making it possible to correctly handle dynamic objects and operations over them. The proposed solution has been implemented in the 2LS framework and our experiments on a set of benchmarks from the International Competition on Software Verification (SV-COMP) show that it improves soundness of analysis of programs working with dynamic objects.

Improving Precision of Program Analysis in the 2LS Framework
Smutný, Martin ; Vojnar, Tomáš (oponent) ; Malík, Viktor (vedoucí práce)
The goal of this work is to propose a way to improve precision of program analysis in the 2LS framework, based on its existing concepts, mainly template-based synthesis of invariants. 2LS is a static analysis framework for analysing C programs which relies on the use of an SMT solver and of abstract interpretation for automatic invariant inference. In a case when 2LS can not decide whether a program is correct, the proposed solution analyses the invariants computed in various abstract domains and identifies parts of the invariants that potentially cause undecidability of the verification. Using the obtained information, the designed method is able to identify variables of the original program that possibly determine whether the verification is successful. The output of our solution can be used as a feedback to indicate variables with problematic values that should be constrained. Also, it can be utilized by the 2LS developers for debugging purposes during development of new analyses. The solution has been implemented in the 2LS framework. Testing our solution on various benchmarks from the International Competition on Software Verification (SV-COMP) shows that it can identify variables that cause undecidability of the verification in more than half of the programs where the verification currently fails.
