  • Deciding Memory Safety for Single-Pass Heap-Manipulating Programs
    Deciding Memory Safety for Single-Pass Heap-Manipulating Programs UMANG MATHUR, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA ADITHYA MURALI, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA PAUL KROGMEIER, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA P. MADHUSUDAN, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA MAHESH VISWANATHAN, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA We investigate the decidability of automatic program verification for programs that manipulate heaps, andin particular, decision procedures for proving memory safety for them. We extend recent work that identified a decidable subclass of uninterpreted programs to a class of alias-aware programs that can update maps. We 35 apply this theory to develop verification algorithms for memory safetyÐ determining if a heap-manipulating program that allocates and frees memory locations and manipulates heap pointers does not dereference an unallocated memory location. We show that this problem is decidable when the initial allocated heap forms a forest data-structure and when programs are streaming-coherent, which intuitively restricts programs to make a single pass over a data-structure. Our experimental evaluation on a set of library routines that manipulate forest data-structures shows that common single-pass algorithms on data-structures often fall in the decidable class, and that our decision procedure is efficient in verifying them. CCS Concepts: • Theory of computation → Logic and verification; Automated reasoning. Additional Key Words and Phrases: Memory Safety, Program Verification, Aliasing, Decidability, Uninterpreted Programs, Streaming-Coherence, Forest Data-Structures ACM Reference Format: Umang Mathur, Adithya Murali, Paul Krogmeier, P.
