Abstract

Conditioned slicing can be applied to reverse engineeringproblems which involve the extraction of executablefragments of code in the context of some criteria of interest.This paper introduces ConSUS, a conditioner for the WideSpectrum Language, WSL. The symbolic executor of ConSUSprunes the symbolic execution paths, and its predicatereasoning system uses the FermaTsimplifytransforma-tion in place of a more conventional theorem prover. Weshow that this combination of pruning and simplification-as-reasoner leads to a more scalable approach to conditioning.
