Abstract

We focus in details on the use of abstract regular tree model checking(ARTMC) within a successful method for verification of programs withdynamic data structures. The method is based on a use of a set oftransducers to describe the behaviour of the verified system. But theARTMC method was originally developed for systems of one transduceronly and its generalization to several ones was supposed to bestraightforward. Although this straightforward generalization (used ina prototype  implementation) works well in a number of examples, thecounterexample analysis is in general unreliable and can cause infinitelooping of the tool as we demonstrate on a simple example containing anerroneous pointer manipulation. Therefore we propose a new  algorithmused for a counterexample analysis and we prove its correctness.
