摘要：
This paper distinguishes several different approaches to organising a weakest pre-condition (WP) calculus in a theorem prover. The implementation of two of these approaches for Java within the LOOP project is described. This involves the WP-infrastructures in the higher order logic of the theorem prover PVS, together with associated rules and strategies for automatically proving JML specifications for Java implementations. The soundness of all WP-rules has been proven on the basis of the underlying Java semantics. These WP-calculi are integrated with the existing Hoare logic, and together form a verification toolkit in PVS: typically one uses Hoare logic rules to break a large verification task up into smaller parts that can be handled automatically by one of the WP-strategies.
