Original Abstract

This paper presents a tool for concurrency testing (abbreviated as ConTest) and some of its extensions. The extensions (called plug-insin this paper) are implemented through the listener architecture ofConTest. Two plug-ins for runtime detection of common concurrent bugsare presented-the first (Eraser+) is able to detect data races whilethe second (AtomRace) is able to detect not only data races but alsomore general bugs caused by violation of atomicity presumptions. Athird plug-in presented in this paper is designed to hide bugs thatmade it into the field so that when problems are detected they can becircumvented. Several experiments demonstrate the capabilities of theseplug-ins.
