Self-Spec Verifiable Code Generation
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.39568v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) may generate unreliable code on corner cases missed by testing, while formal verification can provide machine-checkable guarantees. Recently, researchers have proposed several benchmarks to evaluate the capabilities of LLMs in generating formally verifiable code, where LLMs need to formulate formal specifications, generate the corresponding code, and verify its correctness. However, existing benchmarks have two key limitations: (I) They primarily evaluate specification and code generation stage-wise, with code gener
