The Static Analyzer Infer in SV-COMP (Competition Contribution)
Matthias Kettl, Thomas R. Lemberger
Abstract
Abstract We present Infer-sv , a wrapper that adapts Infer for SV-COMP. Infer is a static-analysis tool for C and other languages, developed by Facebook and used by multiple large companies. It is strongly aimed at industry and the internal use at Facebook. Despite its popularity, there are no reported numbers on its precision and efficiency. With Infer-sv , we take a first step towards an objective comparison of Infer with other SV-COMP participants from academia and industry.
