- Short description of contents:
- Concurrency is a requirement for much modern software, but the implementation of multithreaded algorithms comes at the risk of errors such as data races. Programmers can prevent data races by documenting and obeying a locking discipline, which indicates which locks must be held in order to access which data. This paper introduces a formal semantics for locking specifications that gives a guarantee of race freedom. The paper also provides two implementations of the formal semantics for the Java language: one based on abstract interpretation and one based on type theory. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first tools that can soundly infer and check a locking discipline for Java. Our experiments com-pare the implementations with one another and with annotations written by programmers.
