Abstract

ESBMC v6:0 employs a k-induction algorithm to both falsify and
prove safety properties in C programs.We have developed a new interval-invariant
generator that pre-processes the program, inferring invariants based on intervals
and introducing them in the program as assumptions. Our experiments show that
ESBMC v6:0 using k-induction can prove up to 7% more programs when the
invariant generation is enabled.
