Title
Inferring Congruence Equations Using SAT
Abstract
This paper proposes a new approach for deriving invariants that are systems of congruence equations where the modulo is a power of 2. The technique is an amalgam of SAT-solving, where a propositional formula is used to encode the semantics of a basic block, and abstraction, where the solutions to the formula are systematically combined and summarised as a system of congruence equations. The resulting technique is more precise than existing congruence analyses since a single optimal transfer function is derived for a basic block as a whole.
