The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a fundamental tool for building high-performance computing (HPC) applications, enabling efficient communication across distributed systems. Despite its widespread adoption, MPI's low-level interface…

Translating C to memory-safe languages, like Rust, prevents critical memory safety vulnerabilities that are prevalent in legacy C software. Even with recent LLM-based and tool-augmented translators, the resulting Rust code frequently…

This paper describes Mull, an open-source tool for mutation testing based on the LLVM framework. Mull works with LLVM IR, a low-level intermediate representation, to perform mutations, and uses LLVM JIT for just-in-time compilation. This…

Automatically translating system software from C to Rust is an appealing but challenging problem, as it requires whole-program reasoning to satisfy Rust's ownership and borrowing discipline. A key enabling step in whole-program translation…

Parallel programming often requires developers to handle complex computational tasks that can yield many errors in its development cycle. Rust is a performant low-level language that promises memory safety guarantees with its compiler,…

Rusty Variation (RV) is a library for session-typed communication in Rust which offers strong compile-time correctness guarantees. Programs written using RV are guaranteed to respect a specified protocol, and are guaranteed to be free from…

Refinement transforms an abstract system model into a concrete, executable program, such that properties established for the abstract model carry over to the concrete implementation. Refinement has been used successfully in the development…

Rust is a new and promising high-level system programming language. It provides both memory safety and thread safety through its novel mechanisms such as ownership, moves and borrows. Ownership system ensures that at any point there is only…

This paper presents Efficient SMT-Based Context-Bounded Model Checker (ESBMC) v7.6, an extended version based on previous work on ESBMC v7.3 by K. Song et al. The v7.3 introduced a new Clang-based C++ front-end to address the challenges…

Rust is one of the most promising systems programming languages to fundamentally solve the memory safety issues that have plagued low-level software for over forty years. However, to accommodate the scenarios where Rust's type rules might…

Existing language-based information-flow control (IFC) tools face a fundamental tension: Denning-style systems that track explicit and implicit flows at the variable level typically require compiler modifications, while more coarse-grained…

C/C++ is a prevalent programming language. Yet, it suffers from significant memory and thread-safety issues. Recent studies have explored automated translation of C/C++ to safer languages, such as Rust. However, these studies focused mostly…

Rust is an emerging programing language that aims at preventing memory-safety bugs without sacrificing much efficiency. The claimed property is very attractive to developers, and many projects start using the language. However, can Rust…

We propose an approach for modular verification of programs that use relaxed-consistency atomic memory access primitives and fences. The approach is sufficient for verifying the core of Rust's Atomic Reference Counting (ARC) algorithm. We…

In operating system development, concurrency poses significant challenges. It is difficult for humans to manually review concurrent behaviors or to write test cases covering all possible executions, often resulting in critical bugs.…

Rust is a programming language that uses a concept of ownership to guarantee memory safety without the use of a garbage collector. However, some error messages related to ownership can be difficult to understand and fix, particularly those…

VeriFast is a prototype tool based on separation logic for modular verification of C and Java programs. We are in the process of adding support for C++. In this report, we describe the features of C++ for which we added support so far, as…

We introduce the tool HyperQB 2.0, the first highly efficient push-button bounded model checker (BMC) for hyperproperties. HyperQB takes as input a model in NuSMV or Verilog and a formula expressed in the temporal logics HyperLTL or A-HLTL.…

Low-power microcontroller (MCU) hardware is currently evolving from single-core architectures to predominantly multi-core architectures. In parallel, new embedded software building blocks are more and more written in Rust, while C/C++…

Rust is an emergent systems programming language highlighting memory safety by its Ownership and Borrowing System (OBS). The existing formal semantics for Rust only covers limited subsets of the major language features of Rust. Moreover,…
