2 Purposes of Automatic Analysis Optimizing compilation Validation/Verification Type checking Functional correctness Security properties... Debugging MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21, Fundamental Limit Rice's Theorem [Rice,1953]: All interesting semantic questions about programs from a universal programming language are undecidable. MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21,

3 Example: Detection of Constants read(new); π; write(new)? read(new); π; write(k) write(new) can be replaced by write(k) for some constant k π terminates Hence: Constant Detection is undecidable MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21, Two Solutions Weaker formalisms analyze abstract models of systems e.g.: automata, labelled transition systems,... Approximate analyses yield sound but, in general, incomplete results e.g.: detects some instead of all constants Model checking Flow analysis Abstract interpretation Type checking MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21,

4 Weaker Formalisms Program main() { x=17; if (x>63) { y=17;x=10;x=x+1;} else { x=42; while (y<99) { y=x+y;x=y+1;} y=11;} x=y+1; out(x); } Approximate Abstract model Exact Exact analyzer for abstract model MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21, Overview Introduction Model Checking Flow Analysis Some Links between MC and FA Conclusion MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21,

8 Temporal Logics Linear-Time Logics formulas specify properties of program paths state satisfies property if all paths starting in this state do Branching-Time Logic can specify properties sensitive to branching has (or can simulate) path quantifiers A and E MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21, Branching vs. Linear-Time Logics P coin Q coin coin coffee tea coffee tea LT logics cannot distinguish P and Q: P and Q have same execution paths BT logics can: P [coin] <tea> true but Q [coin] <tea> true MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21,

9 A Linear-Time Logic: PLTL own use own use own use 1. own the resource before using it use U own 2. release the resource in finite time own F( own) PLTL formulas :: = p X U Abbreviations F : = trueu G : = F( ) WUψ : = U ψ G MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21, Linear-Time Modalities X :... next G :...

12 Modal mu-calculus a branching-time logic with local modalities : all successor states satisfy : some successor state satisfies and fixpoint formulae. µ X. (X) : minimum fixpoint formula ν X. (X) : maximum fixpoint formula Fixpoint formulae can be nested Alternation: µx.(νy.x Y) MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21, Local Modalities for Labelled Edges [a] : a a a.. <a> : a a a.. MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21,

13 Computing Fixpoint Formulae On finite structures, meaning of fixpoint formulae can be computed by computing Kleene chains until stabilization: µ :,f( ),f(f( ),f(f(f( ))),... ν :,f( ),f(f( )),f(f(f( ))),... f is a function on state sets derived from the body of the fixpoint formula. MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21, CTL and Modal mu-calculus CTL-formulae can inductively be transformed to modal mu-calculus formulae Global modalities can be expressed by fixpoint formulae, e.g.: A( Uψ ) = µ X.( ψ ( X true)) E( Uψ ) = µ X.( ψ ( X)) A( WU ψ) = ν X.( ψ ( X)) E( WU ψ) = ν X.( ψ ( ( X false))) MOVEP'02, Nantes, June 17-21,
