Research Digest··2 min read
The authors introduce CheckerBench, an executable benchmark of 300 real-world tasks for long-horizon static-analysis checker synthesis, and CheckerLab, a unified evaluation framework.

Static-analysis checkers encode defect patterns as tool-specific rules, but manually designing them requires substantial expert effort.

In one line

Current coding agents reliably synthesize static-analysis checkers on fewer than half of CheckerBench tasks, with the best configuration achieving 45.33% Pass@1.
