calling context
In compositional verification, you generally want to prove as much as
possible about the piece of code at hand -- irrespective of calling
context.
spec very similar to this
Yes, I was using something similar. Note that this is right only in a
purely sequential setting ...
I recently verified a JIT compiler,
That sounds exciting. That must
have been a major piece of work. Anything published yet?
With JIT compilers the issue of self-modification becomes pertinent. I
know that Magnus Myreen has verified a small JIT compiler a few years
back but I don't remember exactly what theorem he proves. IIRC he was
using a tailor-made Hoare logic for x86 code that basically moved some
of the complexity of the spec into the logic.
