Decidable Synthesis of Programs with Uninterpreted Functions

Abstract

'Adithya Murali' 'P. Madhusudan' 'Mahesh Viswanathan'] We identify a decidable synthesis problem for a class of programs of unbounded size with conditionals and iteration that work over infinite data domains. The programs in our class use uninterpreted functions and relations, and abide by a restriction called coherence that was recently identified to yield decidable verification. We formulate a powerful grammar-restricted (syntax-guided) synthesis problem for coherent uninterpreted programs, and we show the problem to be decidable, identify its precise complexity, and also study several variants of the problem.
