language agnostic - Mechanism to ensure a loop ends -


When I was in college, we used to give guest lectures from David Parnas. In this they have mentioned a system which is used for guarantee that any loop (while loop, for loop, etc) safely comes out at some point. He ruled over the fact that no one knew what it was ... sadly it is that after a year I do not know whether anyone knows what this system is called?

Looking at the basis of your area of ​​expertise (including the formal proof of purity), I think That means it means, which is a general technique that proves the loop termination.
