Following the translation validation approach to highassurance compilation, we describe a new algorithm for validating a posteriori the results of a run of register allocation. The algorithm is based on backward dataflow inference of equations between variables, registers and stack locations, and can cope with sophisticated forms of spilling and live range splitting, as well as many forms of ar...

Use-case diagrams (UCDs) are widely used to describe requirements and desired functionality of software products. However, UCDs are loosely linked to the source code, and there are no approaches to maintain the correspondence between program variable and types (or program entities) and elements of UCDs. We offer a novel approach for automating a part of the process of annotating program entitie...

Program annotations help to catch errors, improve program understanding, and specify invariants. Adding annotations, however, is often a manual, laborious, tedious, and error prone process especially when programs are large. We offer a novel approach for automating a part of this process. Developers first specify an initial set of annotations for a few variables and types. Our LEearning ANnnota...
