Separation logic is an extension of Hoare logic that facilitates reasoning about mutable data structures that use pointers. Following Hoare logic the formulae...

Wing detailed their notion of behavioral subtyping in an extension of Hoare logic, which bears a certain resemblance to Bertrand Meyer's design by contract...
