Symbolic Execution with Separation Logic

Symbolic Execution with Separation Logic
We describe a sound method for automatically proving Hoare triples for loop-free code in Separation Logic, for certain preconditions and postconditions (symbolic heaps). The method uses a form of symbolic execution, a decidable proof theory for symbolic heaps, and extraction of frame axioms from incomplete proofs. This is a precursor to the use of the logic in automatic specification checking, program analysis, and model checking.
