Verifying pointer safety for programs with unknown calls
We study the automated verification of pointer safety for heap-manipulating imperative programs with unknown procedure calls. Given a Hoare-style partial correctness specificati...

Verifying the Safety of User Pointer Dereferences
Operating systems divide virtual memory addresses into kernel space and user space. The interface of a modern operating system consists of a set of system call procedures that may...

Verifying Heap-Manipulating Programs with Unknown Procedure Calls
Abstract. Verification of programs with invocations to unknown procedures is a practical problem, because in many scenarios not all codes of programs to be verified are available...

Checking type safety of foreign function calls
We present a multi-lingual type inference system for checking type safety across a foreign function interface. The goal of our system is to prevent foreign function calls from int...
