Abstract

This article details the formal verification of a 2-line C program that computes the number of solutions to the n-queens problem. The formal proof of (an abstraction of) the C code is performed using the Why3 tool to generate the verification conditions and several provers (Alt-Ergo, CVC3, Coq) to discharge them. The main purpose of this article is to illustrate the use of Why3 in verifying an algorithmically complex program. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
