Integer Overflow Probability Analysis
Integer Overflow Probability Analysis examines the arithmetic operations within a smart contract to determine the likelihood of numerical values exceeding the maximum capacity of their assigned storage types. In the context of blockchain, this often leads to unintended token creation or balance manipulation.
The analysis uses symbolic execution to test various input ranges and identify edge cases where arithmetic results might wrap around to zero or a very small number. By mapping the data types and operation paths, it assigns a probability score to the occurrence of such bugs.
This is critical for contracts managing high-value assets or complex mathematical formulas. It ensures that economic logic remains sound under all input conditions.
