PriMagic: Component-Based Synthesis of Loopy and Non-Loopy Programs
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Previous works in component-based synthesis have struggled to synthesize loops and other control structures. We present PriMagic, a new approach to component-based synthesis that can synthesize loopy programs from input-output examples. Our approach first mines primitives: by generating random straight-line programs and remembering those that are consistent with many input-output examples, we can obtain a set of code fragments that are likely to be useful for synthesis. Then, we randomly generate programs where we leave control structure conditions blank. We evaluate these partial programs using the idea of magic conditions, where we analyze the different code flows to determine if it is possible for the partial program to pass all test cases. In the last step, we resolve the magic conditions by filling them with random Boolean expressions. We demonstrate that PriMagic can synthesize short but interesting loopy programs within several minutes, and that it can be a useful tool for API translation.
