Abstract
A method of verifying properties of a source program includes creating a directed multigraph from the source program. The directed multigraph is then minimized by identifying removable vertices in the multigraph. Based on the minimization of the directed multigraph, the source program is transformed by inlining variables in the source program to produce a transformed program. The transformed program is then model checked using a model checking tool in order to verify properties of the source program.
