The MemCAD static analyzer

Participants : Xavier Rival [correspondent] , Antoine Toubhans.

Keywords: Shape analysis. MemCAD is a static analyzer that focuses on memory abstraction. It takes as input C programs, and computes invariants on the data structures manipulated by the programs. It can also verify memory safety. It comprises several memory abstract domains (flat representation, graph abstraction with summaries based on inductive definitions of data-structures, such as lists) and combination operators for memory abstract domains (hierarchical abstraction, reduced product). The current implementation comes with over 200 small size test cases that are used as regression tests.
