A Voyage to the Deep-Heap

This talk is the diary of a journey that brought the theoretical advances of Separation Logic all the way to a commercial static analyzer. It reports on some of the key insights which made this journey possible. It reviews the difficulties we have encountered along the way, the present status, and some of the challenges that remain open. I have shared this journey with Cristiano Calcagno, Peter O'Hearn, and Hongseok Yang.
