This paper presents results on the problem of checking equality assertions in programs whose expressions have been abstracted using combination of linear arithmetic and uninterpreted functions, and whose conditionals are treated as non-deterministic. We first show that the problem of assertion checking for this combined abstraction is coNP-hard, even for loop-free programs. This result is quite surprising since assertion checking for the individual abstractions of linear arithmetic and uninterpreted functions can be performed efficiently in polynomial time. Next, we give an assertion checking algorithm for this combined abstraction, thereby proving decidability of this problem despite the underlying lattice having infinite height. Our algorithm is based on an important connection between unification theory and program analysis. Specifically, we show that weakest preconditions can be strengthened by replacing equalities by their unifiers, without losing any precision, during backward analysis of programs.
