Abstract:The happens-before (HB) relation is widely used to precisely detect data races, which are among the major causes of concurrency bugs. However, the HB relation is sensitive to thread interleaving; thus, hidden races that can be revealed in other thread interleavings may remain despite the repeated running of a program with an HB detector. In this paper, we propose a noise injection-based race detection technique (RaceInducer) that can expose and detect hidden races by using the runtime HB analysis result to det… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
