| 2021 | Verifying Determinism in Sequential ProgramsabstractWhen a program is nondeterministic, it is difficult to test and debug. Nondeterminism occurs even in sequential programs: e.g., by iterating over the elements of a hash table. We have created a type system that expresses determinism specifications in a program. The key ideas in the type system are type qualifiers for nondeterminism, order-nondeterminism, and determinism; type well-formedness rules to restrict collection types; and enhancements to polymorphism that improve precision when analyzing collection operations. While state of-the-art nondeterminism detection tools rely on observing output from specific runs, our approach soundly verifies determinism at compile time. We implemented our type system for Java. Our type checker, the Determinism Checker, warns if a program is nondeterministic or verifies that the program is deterministic. In case studies of 90097 lines of code, the Determinism Checker found 87 previously-unknown nondeterminism errors, even in programs that had been heavily vetted by developers who were greatly concerned about nondeterminism errors. In experiments, the Determinism Checker found all of the non-concurrency-related nondeterminism that was found by state-of-the-art dynamic approaches for detecting flaky tests.
