Abstract

In previous work we described a modular static analysis based on access permission annotations, which describe the ways in which a reference can be aliased, for preventing the improper use of object protocols in concurrent programs. That system was based on atomic blocks, a mutual exclusion primitive not yet in wide use. Now we extend that system to programs written using synchronized blocks, which are in wide use today. This system can verify concurrent programs without any concurrency-specific annotations.
