Model checking pointer safety in compiled programs

This thesis introduces a novel technique for the automated analysis of compiled programs, which is focused on, but not restricted to, pointer safety properties. Our approach, which we refer to as Symbolic Object Code Analysis (SOCA), employs bounded symbolic execution, and uses an SMT solver as exec...
