Gazer-Theta: LLVM-based Verifier Portfolio with BMC-CEGAR

Paper presented for the Competition on Software Verification (SV-COMP) at TACAS 2021. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-72013-1_27

Gazer-Theta is a software model checking toolchain including various analyses for state reachability. The frontend, namely Gazer, supports C programs through an LLVM-based transformation and optimization pipeline. Gazer includes an integrated bounded model checker (BMC) and can also employ the Theta backend, a generic verification framework based on abstraction-refinement (CEGAR). On SV-COMP 2021, a portfolio of BMC, explicit-value analysis, and predicate abstraction is applied sequentially in this order.

  1. Gazer-Theta: LLVM-based Verifier Portfolio with BMC/CEGAR (Competition Contribution) TACAS 2021,

    SV-Comp Zsófia Ádám1, Gyula Sallai2, Ákos Hajdu1 1 Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, Hungary 2 SonarSource S.A., Geneva, Switzerland This research has received funding from the EU ECSEL JU under the H2020 Framework Programme, JU grant nr. 826452 (Arrowhead Tools project) and from the partners’ national funding authorities.
  2. Our verification tools Gazer: • C - frontend • C

    code to CFA • LLVM based • Backend: ◦ Own BMC engine ◦ Theta TACAS 2021, SV-Comp 1 Theta: • "Modular and configurable model checking framework" • Formal representations supported: STS/XSTS, XTA, XCFA, CFA • CEGAR-based analysis https://github.com/ftsrg/theta/ https://github.com/ftsrg/gazer/

  4. TACAS 2021, SV-Comp 3 Chosen configurations • Fast, solves many

    simpler tasks • Supports bitvectors, floats, recursive BMC • ECA (based on earlier results*) Theta EXPL • Good in general • For complex tasks (too much for BMC) Theta PRED * https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2Fs10817-019-09535-x.pdf
