soundy

From sound +‎ -y.

soundy (comparative more soundy, superlative most soundy)

1. (software engineering) Mostly sound; sound in all but a few well-defined areas.
   • 2015 February, Benjamin Livshits, Manu Sridharan, Yannis Smaragdakis, Ondřej Lhotȧk, J. Nelson Amaral, Bor-Yuh Evan Chang, Samuel Z. Guyer, Uday P. Khedker, Anders Møller, Dimitrios Vardoulakis, “In defense of soundiness: a manifesto”, in Communications of the ACM, volume 58, number 2:

     We draw a distinction between analyses that are soundy—mostly sound, with specific, well-identified unsound choices—and analyses that do not concern themselves with soundness.

   • 2015 September, Yue Li, Tian Tan, Jingling Xue, “Effective soundness-guided reflection analysis”, in International On Static Analysis:

     There is a recent community initiative [23] calling for the development of soundy analysis to handle “hard” language features (such as reflection).

   • 2016, Yan Wang, Hailong Zhang, Atanas Rountev, “On the unsoundness of static analysis for android guis”, in Proceedings of the 5th ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on State of the Art in Program Analysis:

     In this context, perhaps one can only hope for a soundy static analysis [21]: common features should be handled soundly and more esoteric ones should be under-approximated.

2. Characterized by or characteristic of sound.
   • 1933, OB Hanson, US Patent 1,896,844:

     This object is obtained by the use of an acoustical element, the soundy absorption characteristic of which is adjustable in a simple and convenient manner.

   • 1984, D Senatra, CMC Gambi - Il Nuovo Cimento D, “Thermally-stimulated-depolarization study on the highly viscous isotropic mesophase of w/o microemulsions”, in (Please provide the book title or journal name):

     Another peculiar feature of these samples is that they exhibit a diapasonlike vibration if their container is hit with some metallic tool or simply with the finger nails. Because of the latter effect, these samples are called, in the laboratory idiom, "soundy". The samples become soundy, on the average, 24 hours after being prepared.

   • 2006 May 16, Tramp, “Soundy Mouse”, in alt.comp.freeware (Usenet):

     Soundy Mouse allows you to step your computer into the future by adding notes of sound to your mouse movement (uses the PC-Speaker, available on most systems).
