Verification of Programs with Pointers Based on Pattern Detection

This paper presents our results in study of verifiaction of infinite state space systems. We deal more concretely with abstract model checking. As main part of study we learned about pattern-based verification. This method is supposed to verify programs with dynamic memory structures like lists. Those structures are presented as directed graph. Pattern-based verifiaction abstracts any number of nodes by replacing them with summarized node. This way we achieve bounded presentation of unbounded memory structure. Afterwards, verification is very effective due to low number of possible memory configurations. In our own work we deal with making model of a program for a tool that implements pattern-based verification. This model isconstructed from a subset of the C language. The main contribution of work is making the verification of simple programs written in C language completely self-acting by automation of constructing input model. In this paper wepresent the grammar of created subset of the C language and implementation details of translation
