Reynolds' separation logical system for pointer program verification is investigated. This paper proves its completeness theorem as well as the expressiveness theorem that states the weakest precondition of every program and every assertion can be expressed by some assertion. This paper also introduces the predicate that represents the next new cell, and proves the completeness and the soundness of the extended system under deterministic semantics.
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.
