SCJ: Memory-Safety Checking without Annotations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of Safety-Critical Java (SCJ) has introduced a novel programming paradigm designed specifically to make Java applicable to safety-critical systems. Unlike in a Java program, memory management is an important concern under the control of the programmer in SCJ. It is, therefore, not possible to apply tools and techniques for Java programs to SCJ. We describe a new technique that uses an abstract language and inference rules to guarantee memory safety. Our approach does not require user-added annotations and automatically checks programs at the source-code level, although it can give false negatives.

Checking memory safety of level 1 safety-critical Java programs using static-analysis without annotations
Safety-Critical Java (SCJ) has been designed specifically to bring performance and reliability to the development of safety-critical Java programs. SCJ introduces a novel programming paradigm based on missions and handlers, and has been designed to ease certification. One of the distinguishing features of SCJ is its memory model, which is defined as a hierarchical structure of scoped-based memo...
متن کاملChecking Memory Safety with Abstract Interpretation and Deductive Verification
We propose an original approach for checking memory safety of C pointer programs, by combining deductive verification and abstract interpretation techniques. The approach is modular and contextual, thanks to the use of Hoare-style annotations (preand postconditions), allowing us to verify each C function independently. Deductive verification is used to check these annotations in a sound way. Ab...
متن کاملSCJ-Circus: a refinement-oriented formal notation for Safety-Critical Java
Safety-Critical Java (SCJ) is a version of Java whose goal is to support the development of real-time, embedded, safety-critical software. In particular, SCJ supports certification of such software by introducing abstractions that enforce a simpler architecture, and simpler concurrency and memory models. In this paper, we present SCJ-Circus, a refinement-oriented formal notation that supports t...

Safety-Critical Java (SCJ) is an Open Group standard that defines a novel version of Java suitable for programming systems with various levels of criticality. SCJ enables real-time programming and certification of safety-critical applications. This tutorial presents SCJ and an associated verification technique to prove correctness of programs based on refinement. For modelling, we use the Circu...
متن کاملCRUST: A Bounded Verifier for Rust
Rust is a modern systems language that provides guaranteed memory safety through static analysis. However, Rust includes an escape hatch in the form of “unsafe code,” which the compiler assumes to be memory safe and to preserve crucial pointer aliasing invariants. Unsafe code appears in many data structure implementations and other essential libraries, and bugs in this code can lead to memory s...
