  In this work, we describe and evaluate the first model checker for verifying
Kotlin programs through the Jimple intermediate representation. The verifier,
named ESBMC-Jimple, is built on top of the Efficient SMT-based Context-Bounded
Model Checker (ESBMC). It uses the Soot framework to obtain the Jimple IR,
representing a simplified version of the Kotlin source code, containing a
maximum of three operands per instruction. ESBMC-Jimple processes Kotlin source
code together with a model of the standard Kotlin libraries and checks a set of
safety properties. Experimental results show that ESBMC-Jimple can correctly
verify a set of Kotlin benchmarks from the literature and that it is
competitive with state-of-the-art Java bytecode verifiers. A demonstration is
available at https://youtu.be/J6WhNfXvJNc.
