METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO IDENTIFY AND REPRODUCE CONCURRENCY VIOLATIONS IN MULTI-THREADED PROGRAMS

摘要

Methods and systems to identify and reproduce concurrency violations in multi-threaded programs are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein comprises determining whether a condition is met and serializing an operation of a first thread of a multi-threaded program relative to an operation of a second thread of the multi-threaded program. The serialization of the operations of the first and second threads results in a concurrency violation or bug thereby causing the multi-threaded program to crash. In this way, the operations of the first and second threads of the multi-threaded program that are responsible for the concurrency violation are identified and can be revised to remove the bug.
