Interpolation-Based Verification of Floating-Point Programs with Abstract CDCL
نویسندگان
چکیده
One approach for smt solvers to improve efficiency is to delegate reasoning to abstract domains. Solvers using abstract domains do not support interpolation and cannot be used for interpolation-based verification. We extend Abstract Conflict Driven Clause Learning (acdcl) solvers with proof generation and interpolation. Our results lead to the first interpolation procedure for floating-point logic and subsequently, the first interpolation-based verifiers for programs with floating-point variables. We demonstrate the potential of this approach by verifying a number of programs which are challenging for current verification tools.

Lifting CDCL to Template-Based Abstract Domains for Program Verification
The success of Conflict Driven Clause Learning (CDCL) for Boolean satisfiability has inspired adoption in other domains. We present a novel lifting of CDCL to program analysis called Abstract Conflict Driven Learning for Programs (ACDLP). ACDLP alternates between model search, which performs over-approximate deduction with constraint propagation, and conflict analysis, which performs under-appr...
متن کاملPolynomial Function Enclosures and Floating Point Software Verification
Proving partial correctness of floating point programs is a hard verification problem. This is in part because error analysis of finite precision computation is difficult and in part due to the high complexity of the generated verification conditions. Typical verification conditions that arise in this context are predicates with real inequalities as atoms and therefore numerical constraint solv...
متن کاملRefining Abstract Interpretation-based Approximations with Constraint Solvers
Programs with floating-point computations are tricky to develop because floating-point arithmetic differs from real arithmetic and has many counterintuitive properties. A classical approach to verify such programs consists in estimating the precision of floating-point computations with respect to the same sequence of operations in an idealized semantics of real numbers. Tools like Fluctuat—base...

Floating-point computations are quickly finding their way in the design of safetyand mission-critical systems, despite the fact that designing floating-point algorithms is significantly more difficult than designing integer algorithms. For this reason, verification and validation of floating-point computations is a hot research topic. An important verification technique, especially in some indu...
متن کاملCombining Coq and Gappa for Certifying Floating-Point Programs
Formal verification of numerical programs is notoriously difficult. On the one hand, there exist automatic tools specialized in floatingpoint arithmetic, such as Gappa, but they target very restrictive logics. On the other hand, there are interactive theorem provers based on the LCF approach, such as Coq, that handle a general-purpose logic but that lack proof automation for floating-point prop...
