  • Experiments in Validating Formal Semantics for C
    Experiments in validating formal semantics for C Sandrine Blazy ENSIIE and INRIA Rocquencourt [email protected] Abstract. This paper reports on the design of adequate on-machine formal semantics for a certified C compiler. This compiler is an optimiz- ing compiler, that targets critical embedded software. It is written and formally verified using the Coq proof assistant. The main structure of the compiler is very strongly conditioned by the choice of the languages of the compiler, and also by the kind of semantics of these languages. 1 Introduction C is still widely used in industry, especially for developing embedded software. The main reason is the control by the C programmer of all the resources that are required for program execution (e.g. memory layout, memory allocation) and that affect performance. C programs can therefore be very efficient, but the price to pay is a programming effort. For instance, using C pointer arithmetic may be required in order to compute the address of a memory cell. However, a consequence of this freedom given to the C programmer is the presence of run-time errors such as buffer overflows and dangling pointers. Such errors may be difficult to detect in programs, because of C type casts and more generally because the C type system is unsafe. Many static analysis tools attempt to detect such errors in order to ensure safety properties that may be ensured by more recent languages such as Java. For instance, CCured is a program transformation system that adds memory safety guarantees to C programs by verifying statically that memory errors cannot oc- cur and by inserting run-time checks where static verification is insufficient [1].

Boyer and J Strother Moore To Appear in the Journal of Automated Reasoning The research reported here was supported by National Science Foundation Grant MCS-8202943 and Office of Naval Research Contract N00014-81-K-0634. Institute for Computing Science and Computer Applications The University of Texas at Austin Austin, Texas 78712 1 Computer programs may be regarded as formal mathematical objects whose properties are subject to mathematical proof. Program verification is the use of formal, mathematical techniques to debug software and software specifications. 1. Code Verification How are the properties of computer programs proved? We discuss three approaches in this article: inductive invariants, functional semantics, and explicit semantics. Because the first approach has received by far the most attention, it has produced the most impressive results to date. However, the field is now moving away from the inductive invariant approach. 1.1. Inductive Assertions The so-called Floyd-Hoare inductive assertion method of program verification [25, 33] has its roots in the classic Goldstine and von Neumann reports [53] and handles the usual kind of programming language, of which FORTRAN is perhaps the best example. In this style of verification, the specifier "annotates" certain points in the program with mathematical assertions that are supposed to describe relations that hold between the program variables and the initial input values each time "control" reaches the annotated point. Among these assertions are some that characterize acceptable input and the desired output. By exploring all possible paths from one assertion to the next and analyzing the effects of intervening program statements it is possible to reduce the correctness of the program to the problem of proving certain derived formulas called verification conditions.

Boolean algebra • Temporal logic (CTL, LTL etc.) • Quantifier-free combinations of first-order arithmetic theories • Full first-order logic • Higher-order logic or first-order logic with arithmetic or set theory • 3 Expressiveness vs. automation There is usually a roughly inverse relationship: The more expressive the formalism, the less the ‘proof’ is amenable to automation. For the simplest formalisms, the proof can be so highly automated that we may not even think of it as ‘theorem proving’ at all. The most expressive formalisms have a decision problem that is not decidable, or even semidecidable. 4 Logical syntax English Formal false ⊥ true ⊤ not p p ¬ p and q p q ∧ p or q p q ∨ p implies q p q ⇒ p iff q p q ⇔ for all x, p x. p ∀ there exists x such that p x. p ∃ 5 Propositional logic Formulas built up from atomic propositions (Boolean variables) and constants , using the propositional connectives , , , and ⊥ ⊤ ¬ ∧ ∨ ⇒ . ⇔ No quantifiers or internal structure to the atomic propositions. 6 Propositional logic Formulas built up from atomic propositions (Boolean variables) and constants , using the propositional connectives , , , and ⊥ ⊤ ¬ ∧ ∨ ⇒ .

  • QWIRE Practice: Formal Verification of Quantum Circuits In
    WIRE Practice: Formal Verification of Quantum Circuits in Coq Q Robert Rand Jennifer Paykin Steve Zdancewic [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] University of Pennsylvania We describe an embedding of the QWIRE quantum circuit language in the Coq proof assistant. This allows programmers to write quantum circuits using high-level abstractions and to prove properties of those circuits using Coq’s theorem proving features. The implementation uses higher-order abstract syntax to represent variable binding and provides a type-checking algorithm for linear wire types, ensuring that quantum circuits are well-formed. We formalize a denotational semantics that interprets QWIRE circuits as superoperators on density matrices, and prove the correctness of some simple quantum programs. 1 Introduction The last few years have witnessed the emergence of lightweight, scalable, and expressive quantum cir- cuit languages such as Quipper [10] and LIQUiS⟩ [22]. These languages adopt the QRAM model of quantum computation, in which a classical computer sends instructions to a quantum computer and re- ceives back measurement results. Quipper and LIQUiS⟩ programs classically produce circuits that can be executed on a quantum computer, simulated on a classical computer, or compiled using classical tech- niques to smaller, faster circuits. Since both languages are embedded inside general-purpose classical host languages (Haskell and F#), they can be used to build useful abstractions on top of quantum circuits, allowing for general purpose quantum programming. As is the case with classical programs, however, quantum programs in these languages will invariably have bugs. Since quantum circuits are inherently expensive to run (either simulated or on a real quantum computer) and are difficult or impossible to debug at runtime, numerous techniques have been developed to verify properties of quantum programs.
