Abstract

In this work we present Goanna, the first tool that uses an off-the-shelf model checker for the static analysis of C/C++ source code. We outline its architecture and show how syntactic properties can be expressed in CTL. Once the properties have been defined the tool analyses source code automatically and efficiently. We demonstrate its applicability by presenting experimental results on analysing OpenSSL and the GNU coreutils.
