When analyzing a SPARK program with GNATprove, some verification conditions might remain unproven, whether because of a defect in the user’s code, contracts that are too weak, or sometimes because of a tool limitation. In this context, an effective way of helping developers is to provide them with counterexamples, subprogram input values that would lead to invalid executions (out-of-bounds access, division by zero, integer overflow, exceptions, etc.). The project I worked on during my inter...| The AdaCore Blog

Many of our customers ask if we have a "Coding Standard" that we can provide for writing code in Ada or SPARK. The answer has typically been: "We provide GNATcheck, which you can use to create your own."

Informally, memory safety in a program means that each data access is well behaved; i.e., is consistent with the item’s data type, does not impinge on any storage locations beyond the data value’s boundaries, and, if the program is multithreaded, does not produce an inconsistent or corrupted value. Memory safety violations result in undefined behavior, which is a Bad Thing: instances like the notorious “buffer overrun” can turn an otherwise safe and secure program into a ticking virtu...| The AdaCore Blog

When teaching SPARK to my students, I generally explain the central position of contracts in formal verification in the following way: Contracts of subprograms summarize their behavior - preconditions constrain their inputs, while postconditions describe their effects. It is an easy way to see contracts, However, not returning normally, for example looping forever or raising exceptions, is definitely a significant effect of a subprogram. Modeling that effect would be beneficial because if it ...| The AdaCore Blog
