Abstract
This paper presents a memory management mechanism for programs of Modeling, Simulation and Verification Language (MSVL) which is a subset of Projection Temporal Logic (PTL) with framing technique. Framing operator is defined in MSVL and is concerned with the persistence of the values of variables from one state to another. Based on framing technique, we implement a memory management mechanism for MSVL programs. In short, memory can be allocated and released dynamically according to the framing operator. As a result, the efficiency can be improved and the memory can be used more effectively when MSVL programs are executed in MSV which is a toolkit developed for the purpose of modeling, simulation and verification of MSVL programs.
