Design of CMC

CMC is a model checker that generates the state space of a given system by directly executing its C or C++ implementation. This section describes the design of CMC, beginning with a description of the tool's infrastructure. The steps required to set up a system for checking are described and illustrated with an example. The actual model checking algorithm then follows. Finally, some techniques to cope with the state explosion problem are discussed.
