Abstract

See full text

Model checking has been used to verify program behavior. However, exploration of the model is often impractical for many general purpose programs due to the complexity of an exploding state space. Instead, a program is instrumented with code that records pointer dereference information. The instrumented program is executed thereby recording pointer dereference frequency information. Then, a model of the program is explored using the pointer dereference frequency information to direct state space exploration of the model.
