Abstraction-based software model checkers often rely on external analyses or unbounded SMT arrays to reason about pointers, arrays, and dynamic heap manipulation. External analyses are precise but often require the modification of existing verification algorithms, while SMT arrays provide a native solution for solver-based verifiers but require strict type safety often forgone in real-world programs. We propose a novel way of integrating a precise pointer and array analysis as a plug-in for abstraction-based model checking, which does not require the modification of the underlying algorithms. Our solution keeps track of arbitrary predicates over potentially abstract memory locations, moving toward more efficient verification of software code by allowing a fine-grained and precise abstraction of memory accesses.
