Predator Shape Analysis Tool Suite

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNPSE,volume 10028)

Abstract

The paper presents a tool suite centered around the Predator shape analyzer for low-level C code based on the notion of symbolic memory graphs. Its architecture, optimizations, extensions, inputs, options, and outputs are covered.

Keywords

  • Intermediate Representation
  • Error Trace
  • Memory Leak
  • List Segment
  • Memory Safety

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Supported by the Czech Science Foundation project 14-11384S, the IT4IXS: IT4Innovations Excellence in Science project (LQ1602), and the internal BUT project FIT-S-14-2486.
