Cascade - (Competition Contribution)

Wei Wang, Clark W. Barrett

Abstract: Cascade is a static program analysis tool developed at New York University. It uses bounded model checking to generate verification conditions and checks them using an SMT solver which either produces a proof of correctness or gives a concrete trace showing how an assertion can fail. It supports the majority of standard C features except for floating point. A distinguishing feature of Cascade is that its analysis uses a memory model which divides up memory into several partitions based on alias information.
