Originální abstrakt

Predator is a new open source tool for verification of sequential C programs with dynamic linked data structures. The tool is conceptually based on separation logic with inductive predicates despite it uses a graph description of heaps. Predator currently handles various forms of lists, including singly-linked as well as doubly-linked lists that may be circular, hierarchically nested and that may have various additional pointer links. Predator is implemented as a gcc plug-in and it is capable of handling lists in the form they appear in real system code, especially the Linux kernel, including a limited support of pointer arithmetic. Collaboration on further development of Predator is welcome.
