A HIP and SLEEK verification system

Abstract

The HIP and SLEEK systems are aimed at automatic verification of functional correctness of heap manipulating programs. HIP is a separation logic based automated verification system for a simple imperative language, able to modularly verify the specifications of heap-manipulating programs. The specification language allows user defined inductive predicates used to model complex data structures. Specifications can contain both heap constraints and various pure constraints like arithmetic constraints, bag constraints. Based on given annotations for each method/loop, HIP will construct a set of separation logic proof obligations in the form of formula implications which are sent to the SLEEK separation logic prover. SLEEK is a fully automatic prover for separation logic with frame inferring capability.
