Inferring Sufficient Conditions with Backward Polyhedral Under-Approximations

Participant : Antoine Miné.

In [23] , we discuss the automatic inference of sufficient pre-conditions by abstract interpretation and sketch the construction of an under-approximating backward analysis. We focus on numeric domains and propose transfer functions, including a lower widening, for polyhedra, without resorting to disjunctive completion nor complementation, while soundly handling non-determinism. A limited proof-of-concept prototype was designed to validate our approach. Planned applications include the derivation of sufficient conditions for a program to never step outside an envelope of safe states, or dually to force it to eventually fail.
