Abstract

We study the safety verification (reachability problem) for concurrent programs with uninterpreted functions/relations. By extending the notion of coherence, recently identified for sequential programs, to concurrent programs, we show that reachability in coherent concurrent programs under various scheduling restrictions is decidable by a reduction to multistack pushdown automata, and establish precise complexity bounds for them. We also prove that the coherence restriction for these various scheduling restrictions is itself a decidable property.
