ESBMC v7.7 improves the verification of concurrent C programs by incorporating techniques such as dynamic thread scheduling, incremental SMT solving, and partial order reduction (POR). These improvements enhance the tool’s performance, particularly in exploring complex multi-threaded executions. The new scheduler prioritizes higher-thread identifiers during context switches, which helps explore deeper program states. The use of incremental SMT solving and a refined POR algorithm reduces the exploration of unreachable interleavings and redundant states. These updates enable ESBMC to detect bugs faster, making it a more effective tool for ensuring the safety of multi-threaded applications.

摘要

ESBMC v7.7 improves the verification of concurrent C programs by incorporating techniques such as dynamic thread scheduling, incremental SMT solving, and partial order reduction (POR). These improvements enhance the tool’s performance, particularly in exploring complex multi-threaded executions. The new scheduler prioritizes higher-thread identifiers during context switches, which helps explore deeper program states. The use of incremental SMT solving and a refined POR algorithm reduces the exploration of unreachable interleavings and redundant states. These updates enable ESBMC to detect bugs faster, making it a more effective tool for ensuring the safety of multi-threaded applications.
