Abstract
In this paper, we present RATCOP, a static analysis tool for efficiently computing relational invariants in race free shared-variable multi-threaded Java programs. The tool trades the standard sound-at-all-program-points guarantee for gains in efficiency. Instead, it computes sound facts for a variable only at program points where it is “relevant”. In our experiments, RATCOP was fairly precise while being fast. As a tool, RATCOP is easy-to-use, and easily extensible.
