Abstract
A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to identify a memory operation in target source code. A set of constraints associated with the memory operation are developed. The constraints are converted into a Boolean expression. The Boolean expression is processed with a Boolean satisfiability engine to determine whether the memory operation is potentially unsafe.
