{"_id":"533","abstract":[{"text":"Any programming error that can be revealed before compiling a program saves precious time for the programmer. While integrated development environments already do a good job by detecting, e.g., data-flow abnormalities, current static analysis tools suffer from false positives ("noise") or require strong user interaction. We propose to avoid this deficiency by defining a new class of errors. A program fragment is doomed if its execution will inevitably fail, regardless of which state it is started in. We use a formal verification method to identify such errors fully automatically and, most significantly, without producing noise. We report on experiments with a prototype tool.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","publication":"Formal Methods in System Design","author":[{"first_name":"Jochen","last_name":"Hoenicke","full_name":"Hoenicke, Jochen"},{"first_name":"Kari","full_name":"Leino, Kari","last_name":"Leino"},{"last_name":"Podelski","full_name":"Podelski, Andreas","first_name":"Andreas"},{"full_name":"Schäf, Martin","last_name":"Schäf","first_name":"Martin"},{"full_name":"Wies, Thomas","last_name":"Wies","first_name":"Thomas","id":"447BFB88-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"publisher":"Springer","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","type":"journal_article","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"page":"171 - 199","day":"01","title":"Doomed program points","year":"2010","volume":37,"issue":"2-3","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:47:01Z","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:01:28Z","intvolume":" 37","publication_status":"published","date_published":"2010-12-01T00:00:00Z","doi":"10.1007/s10703-010-0102-0","citation":{"apa":"Hoenicke, J., Leino, K., Podelski, A., Schäf, M., & Wies, T.
