Abstract

Separation logic is a recent extension of Hoare logic for reasoning about pro- grams with references to shared mutable data structures. In this paper, we provide a new interpretation of the logic for a programming language with higher types. Our interpreta- tion is based on Reynolds’s relational parametricity, and it provides a formal connection between separation logic and data abstraction.
