T2 Temporal Prover is an automated program analyzer developed in the Terminator research project at Microsoft Research.

Overview

T2 aims to find whether a program can run infinitely (called a termination analysis). It supports nested loops and recursive functions, pointers and side-effects, and function-pointers as well as concurrent programs. Like all programs for termination analysis it tries to solve the halting problem for particular cases, since the general problem is undecidable.[1] It provides a solution which is sound, meaning that when it states that a program does always terminate, the result is dependable.
