Abstract

We are interested in static analysis of programs which use shared mutable data structures. We introduce a backward and a forward analyses with a separation logic called BIμν. This logic is an extension of BI logic [7], to which we add fixpoint connectives and a postponed substitution. This allows us to express recursive definitions within the logic as well as the axiomatic semantics of while statements. Unlike the existing rule-based approach to program proof using separation logic, our approach does not have syntactical restrictions on the use of rules.
