subsection "Field access and update"

text{* Heap update @{text"p^.h := e"} is now guarded against @{term p}
being Null. However, @{term p} may still be illegal,
e.g. uninitialized or dangling. To guard against that, one needs a
more detailed model of the heap where allocated and free addresses are
distinguished, e.g. by making the heap a map, or by carrying the set
of free addresses around. This is needed anyway as soon as we want to
reason about storage allocation/deallocation. *}
