Abstract
In the following three chapters, we present our modular specification and verification technique for Mojave programs, beginning with the so-called functional behavior of methods. Under functional behavior, we subsume the deliberate effects of a method: the computation of a result value and modifications to the object store. That is, “functional” does not mean “side-effect-free”. We describe our specification technique for functional behavior based on abstract fields and pre-post-pairs, illustrate modular verification of functional behavior, and discuss related work.
However, in Subsection 6.4.1, we discuss module invariants that can be used to specify sharing properties of several object structures.
