About this paper

Valentina Wu, Alexandra Mendes, Alexandre Abreu

The authors present a tool that repairs arithmetic bugs in Dafny by using contracts to identify suspicious code and prompting an LLM to propose replacement lines. Dafny verifies each patch against the specification. On artificially mutated DafnyBench programs, GPT-4o mini produced repairs that passed verification for 74.71% of ground_truth cases (1,985/2,657). This result assumes one bug per program and correct specifications.
