Zusammenfassung

We propose AdaHorn , a model checker for verification of Ada programs with respect to correctness properties given as assertions. AdaHorn translates an Ada program together with its assertion into a set of Constrained Horn Clauses, and feeds it to a Horn constraints solver. We evaluate the performance of AdaHorn on a set of Ada programs inspired by C programs from the software verification competition (SV-COMP). Our experimental results show that AdaHorn outputs correct results in more cases than GNATProve, which is a widely used Ada verification framework.
