Towards Relating Ciao Assertions and LPTP Theorems
Marco Pérez, Pedro López-GarcÃa, Jose F. Morales +2
Abstract interpretation-based verification is a central component of the Ciao Prolog system, enabling expressive specifications of properties of programs, predicates, and execution…
Big-step and small-step Horn clause derivations applied to operational semantics
John P. Gallagher, Manuel Hermenegildo, José Morales +2
The concepts of big-step and small-step derivations are familiar from the operational semantics of programming languages. These concepts are applicable in the more general setting…
Exploiting Multiple Abstract Call Patterns for Optimizing Run-Time Checks
Daniela Ferreiro, Daniel Jurjo-Rivas, Marco Ciccalè +3
In strongly-typed languages, types are verified at compile time, while dynamically typed languages, such as Prolog, perform type consistency checks entirely at run-time. Extending…
Detecting speculative leaks with compositional semantics
Xaver Fabian, Marco Guarnieri, Boris Köpf +4
Speculative execution enhances processor performance by predicting intermediate results and executing instructions based on these predictions. However, incorrect predictions can le…
Hiord#: An Approach to the Specification and Verification of Higher-Order (C)LP Programs
Marco Ciccalè, Daniel Jurjo-Rivas, Jose F. Morales +2
Higher-order constructs enable more expressive and concise code by allowing procedures to be parameterized by other procedures. Assertions allow expressing partial program specific…
Checkification: A Practical Approach for Testing Static Analysis Truths
Daniela Ferreiro, Ignacio Casso, Jose F. Morales +2
Static analysis is an essential component of many modern software development tools. Unfortunately, the ever-increasing complexity of static analyzers makes their coding error-pron…
