TLDR
This paper motivates VCC, describes the verification methodology, the architecture of VCC is described, and the experience using VCC to verify the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor is reported on.Abstract:
VCC is an industrial-strength verification environment for low-level concurrent system code written in C. VCC takes a program (annotated with function contracts, state assertions, and type invariants) and attempts to prove the correctness of these annotations. It includes tools for monitoring proof attempts and constructing partial counterexample executions for failed proofs. This paper motivates VCC, describes our verification methodology, describes the architecture of VCC, and reports on our experience using VCC to verify the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor.read more

Deeply Integrating C11 Code Support into Isabelle/PIDE
Frédéric Tuong,Burkhart Wolff +1 more
TL;DR: A framework for C code in C11 syntax deeply integrated into the Isabelle/PIDE development environment that provides an abstract interface for verification back-ends to be plugged-in independently and employs Lex and Yacc style grammars to ensure efficient deterministic parsing.

The Design and Algorithms of a Verification Condition Generator
TL;DR: This dissertation discusses several problems loosely related, because they all involve a verification condition generator, and the Boogie language is introduced; the architecture of a verification-generator is described.

Get rid of inline assembly through verification-oriented lifting
TL;DR: This work proposes TINA, the first automated, generic, verification-friendly and trustworthy lifting technique turning inline assembly into semantically equivalent C code amenable to verification, in order to take advantage of existing C analyzers.

Formal architecture modeling of sequential non-recursive C programs
TL;DR: To manage the complexity of C programs, architecture models are used as high-level descriptions, allowing developers to understand, assess, and manage the C programs without having to understand the architecture models themselves.

A Temporal Logic of Nested Calls and Returns
TL;DR: This work introduces a temporal logic of calls and returns (CaRet) for specification and algorithmic verification of correctness requirements of structured programs and presents a tableau construction that reduces the model checking problem to the emptiness problem for a Buchi pushdown system.

Separation logic: a logic for shared mutable data structures
TL;DR: An extension of Hoare logic that permits reasoning about low-level imperative programs that use shared mutable data structure is developed, including extensions that permit unrestricted address arithmetic, dynamically allocated arrays, and recursive procedures.

Amortised Memory Analysis Using the Depth of Data Structures
TL;DR: A related system for bounding the stack space requirements is described which uses the depth of data structures, by expressing potential in terms of maxima as well as sums, by adding extra structure to typing contexts to describe the form of the bounds.
