Abstract

A system and method for race warning generation for computer program verification includes determining shared variables and determining context-sensitive points-to sets for lock pointers by focusing on pointers that may affect aliases of lock pointers, and by leveraging function summarization. Locksets are determined at locations where shared variables are accessed using the points-to sets for lock pointers. Warnings are based on disjointness of locksets.
