Abstract

BIRS is an intermediate representation for verifying Java program. Java program in the form of bytecode could be translated into BIRS code. Verification conditions are generated from the BIRS code to verify the program. We propose a method generating verification conditions for BIRS code. Generating verification conditions is composed of constructing control flow graph for BIRS code, depth first searching for the control flow graph to generate basic paths, and calculating weakest preconditions of the basic paths.

BIRS는 자바 프로그램의 검증을 위해 사용되는 중간표현 언어이다. 바이트코드 형태의 자바 프로그램은 검증을 위해 BIRS 코드로 변환된다. 변환된 BIRS 형태의 프로그램을 검증하기 위해서는 BIRS 형태의 프로그램에 대한 검증조건을 생성해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 BIRS 코드에 대한 검증조건을 생성하는 방법을 제시한다. 검증조건 생성은 BIRS 코드에 대한 제어흐름그래프 구성, 제어흐름그래프에 대한 깊이우선 탐색을 통한 기본경로 추출, 기본경로에 대한 최약 전조건(weakest precondition) 계산법의 과정을 통해 이루어진다.
