Abstract

Described herein are technologies pertaining to semantic baselining. Correctness conditions of a baseline program are inferred based upon a first static analysis undertaken over the baseline program. The correctness conditions are subsequently inserted into a revision to the baseline program. When a second static analysis is undertaken over the revised program with the correctness conditions inserted therein, warnings inherited from the baseline program are suppressed, while warnings caused by revisions are surfaced to a developer.
