Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide for a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions to cause one or more processors to perform operations processing, in an integrated development environment, a set of program code to identify an assertion within the set of program code; determining compile-time provability of a condition specified by the assertion; and presenting an error condition in response to failing to determine compile-time provability of the condition specified by the assertion, wherein determining compile-time provability of the condition specified by the assertion includes semantically converting the condition specified by the assertion into a Boolean, reducing the Boolean to an intermediate representation, and processing the intermediate representation to detect an expression within the intermediate representation that is non-constant at compile-time.
