摘要
Formal verification can provide strong mathematical guarantees about software correctness, but it typically requires developers to write detailed formal specifications (e.g., contracts and loop invariants), which is costly and error-prone. We introduce AutoSpec+, an LLM-driven neuro-symbolic demonstration system that reframes specification writing as constrained structured synthesis: large language models generate candidate specifications at the granularity of proof-relevant program components, while a symbolic verifier acts as a deterministic critic that checks legality, satisfiability, and proof adequacy, rejecting or repairing candidates in an iterative loop. This design turns unconstrained text generation into constrained structured synthesis, substantially reducing hallucinations and producing proof-ready annotations. We evaluate AutoSpec+ on seven benchmark suites, showing strong effectiveness. We release an open-source, Dockerized system with ensemble LLM backends and inter-modular verification support for reproducible demonstration and deployment
