Today's mainstream object-oriented compilers and tools do not support declaring and
statically checking simple pre-and postconditions on methods and invariants on object …

Proof-carrying code (PCC) is a framework for mechanically verifying the safety of machine
language programs. A program that is successfully verified by a PCC system is guaranteed …

This paper presents a region analysis and transformation framework for Java programs.
Given an input Java program, the compiler automatically translates it into an equivalent …

We present a programming language, model, and logic appropriate for implementing and
reasoning about a memory management system. We then state what is meant by …

Although today's safe languages, such as C♯ and Java, automatically catch or prevent
many programming errors through compile-time checks and automatic memory …

Previous work proposed a technique for predicting problems resulting from replacing one
version of a software component by another. The technique reports, before performing the …

Region-based memory management offers several important potential advantages over
garbage collection, including real-time performance, better data locality, and more efficient …

In the most general sense, dependent types are type-valued functions. This definition
includes, for example, the type operators of Fω such as Pair. When applied to two types S …

We present a new method purity analysis for Java programs. A method is pure if it does not
mutate any location that exists in the program state right before method invocation. Our …
