To (dis)prove termination of programs, uses symbolic execution to transform the program’s code into an integer transition system, which is then analyzed by several backends. The transformation steps in and the tools in the backend only produce sub-proofs in their domains. Hence, we now developed new techniques to automatically combine the essence of these proofs. If non-termination is proved, then they yield an overall witness, which identifies a non-terminating path in the original program.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
