Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper, we present a novel type and effect analysis for detecting memory errors in C source code. We extend the standard C type system with effect, region, and host annotations that hold valuable security information. We define static security checks to detect errors using the annotations. The checks are compliant with the ANSI-C standard, while adding more security restrictions to prevent runtime errors. The flow-sensitivity nature of our analysis enables us to modify type annotations at each program point and to efficiently detect temporal errors. Moreover, we endow our type system with alias information to deal with C aliasing pitfalls and to improve the precision of our analysis. We present an inference algorithm that automatically infers type annotations and applies security checks without programmer's intervention.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
