Abstract

APROV-SL (the specification language of the another program verifier) is a specification language to describe usage rules of application programming interfaces (APIs) for our automatic program verifier APROV. APROV is an automated formal verification system to detect misuse of API rules. APROV takes source code in C and usage rules written in APROV-SL, checks conformance of the source code with the usage rules, and then reports ´pass´ messages or ´fail´ messages with buggy traces. A monitor automata describes usage rules of API and it is written in APROV-SL. This paper explains APROV-SL and monitor automata with examples
