The driving force behind Space Invader [1,2,3] - an automatic tool aiming to perform accurate static analysis of programs using pointers - is the idea of local reasoning, which is enabled by the Frame Rule of separation logic [4]: $$\frac{\{P\} C \{Q \}}{\{P * R \} C \{ Q* R \}} $$ In this rule R is the frame , i.e., the part of the heap which is not touched by the execution of the command C . The Frame Rule allows pre and postconditions to concentrate on the footprint: the cells touched by command C .
