The use of large language models for code generation is a rapidly growing trend in software
development. However, without effective methods for ensuring the correctness of generated
code, this trend could lead to undesirable outcomes. In this paper, we introduce a new
approach for addressing this challenge: the Clover paradigm, short for Clo sed-Loop Ver
ifiable Code Generation, which uses consistency checking to provide a strong filter for
incorrect code. Clover performs consistency checks among code, docstrings, and formal …
