This paper addresses the challenge of sound typestate verification, with acceptable precision, for real-world Java programs.We present a novel framework for verification of typestate properties, including several new techniques to precisely treat aliases without undue performance costs. In particular, we present a flowsensitive, context-sensitive, integrated verifier that utilizes a parametric abstract domain combining typestate and aliasing information. To scale to real programs without compromising precision, we present a staged verification system in which faster verifiers run as early stages which reduce the workload for later, more precise, stages.We have evaluated our framework on a number of real Java programs, checking correct API usage for various Java standard libraries. The results show that our approach scales to hundreds of thousands of lines of code, and verifies correctness for 93% of the potential points of failure.

Abstract. We introduce a systematic approach to designing summarizing abstract numeric domains from existing numeric domains. Summarizing domains use summary dimensions to represent potentially unbounded collections of numeric objects. Such domains are of benefit to analyses that verify properties of systems with an unbounded number of numeric objects, such as shape analysis, or systems in which the number of numeric objects is bounded, but large.
