We first propose to work + with \emph{semantic} abstract domains, whose elements are + \emph{geometric shapes}, instead of the (more concrete) + syntactic abstract domains of constraint networks and + matrices on which the previous proposals are based. + This allows to solve, once and for all, the problem whereby + \emph{closure by entailment}, a crucial operation for the + realization of such domains, seemed to impede the + realization of proper widening operators. In our approach, + the implementation of widenings relies on the availability + of an effective reduction procedure for the considered + constraint description: one for the domain of \emph{bounded + difference shapes} already exists in the literature; we + provide algorithms for the significantly more complex cases + of rational and integer \emph{octagonal shapes}. + We also improve upon the state-of-the-art by presenting, + along with their proof of correctness, closure by entailment + algorithms of reduced complexity for domains based on + rational and integer octagonal constraints. + The consequences of implementing weakly-relational numerical + domains with floating point numbers are also discussed.", +} + @InProceedings{BalasundaramK89, Author = "V.
