  In this paper we present an approach to check resource consumption contracts
using an off-the-shelf static analyzer.
  We propose a set of annotations to support resource usage specifications, in
particular, dynamic memory consumption constraints. Since dynamic memory may be
recycled by a memory manager, the consumption of this resource is not monotone.
The specification language can express both memory consumption and lifetime
properties in a modular fashion.
  We develop a proof-of-concept implementation by extending Code Contracts'
specification language. To verify the correctness of these annotations we rely
on the Code Contracts static verifier and a points-to analysis. We also briefly
discuss possible extensions of our approach to deal with non-linear
expressions.
