Abstract

Constraint-based program repair has been developed as one of the main techniques for automated program repair. Given a buggy program and a test suite, constraint-based program repair first extracts a repair constraint φ, and then synthesizes a patch satisfying φ. Since a patch is synthesized in a correct-by-construction manner (rather than compiling and testing each repair candidate source code), the constraint-based approach, in theory, requires less runtime overhead than the G&V approach. Nevertheless, the performance of existing constraint-based approaches is still suboptimal.
