Synthesis in Uclid5

We describe an integration of program synthesis into Uclid5, a formal modelling and verification tool. To the best of our knowledge, the new version of Uclid5 is the only tool that supports program synthesis with bounded model checking, k-induction, sequential program verification, and hyperproperty verification. We use the integration to generate 25 program synthesis benchmarks with simple, known solutions that are out of reach of current synthesis engines, and we release the benchmarks to the community

UCLID5: Multi-Modal Formal Modeling, Verification, and Synthesis

UCLID5 is a tool for the multi-modal formal modeling, verification,and synthesis of systems. It enables one to tackle verification problems for heterogeneous systems such as combinations of hardware and software, or those that have multiple, varied specifications, or systems that require hybrid modes of modeling. A novel aspect of UCLID5 is an emphasis on the use of syntax-guided and inductive synthesis to automate steps in modeling and verification. This toolpaper presents new developments in the UCLID5 tool including new language features, integration with new techniques for syntax-guided synthesis and satisfiability solving, support for hyperproperties and combinations of axiomatic and operational modeling, demonstrations on new problem classes, and a more robust implementation

Направляемый свойством поиск реляционных инвариантов

Property Directed Reachability (PDR) is an efficient and scalable approach to solving systems of symbolic constraints also known as Constrained Horn Clauses (CHC). In the case of non-linear CHCs, which may arise, e.g., from relational verification tasks, PDR aims to infer an inductive invariant for each uninterpreted predicate. However, in many practical cases this reasoning is not successful, as invariants should be derived for groups of predicates instead of individual predicates. The article describes a novel algorithm that identifies these groups automatically and complements the existing PDR technique. The key feature of the algorithm is that it does not require a possibly expensive synchronization transformation over the system of CHCs. We have implemented the algorithm on top of a up-to-date CHC solver Spacer. Our experimental evaluation shows that for some CHC systems, on which existing solvers diverge, our tool is able to discover relational invariants.Достижимость, направляемая свойством, (Property Directed Reachability, PDR) — эффективный и масштабируемый подход к решению систем символьных ограничений, известных как дизъюнкты Хорна с ограничениями (Constrained Horn Clauses, CHC). В случае нелинейных систем дизъюнктов, которые могут возникнуть, к примеру, из задач реляционной верификации, PDR выводит индуктивные инварианты для каждого неинтерпретированного предикатного символа. Тем не менее на практике автоматический вывод таких решений не удаётся, т.к. инварианты должны выводиться для групп предикатных символов вместо индивидуальных предикатных символов. В статье описан новый алгоритм, автоматически определяющий такие группы и обобщающий существующий подход PDR. Ключевая особенность алгоритма состоит в том, что он не требует потенциально дорогой синхронизирующей трансформации системы дизъюнктов Хорна. Алгоритм был реализован над современным решателем дизъюнктов Хорна Spacer. Эксперименты показывают, что полученная реализация успешно выводит реляционные инварианты для некоторых систем дизъюнктов, на которых существующие решатели не завершаются

Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems

This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems, TACAS 2022, which was held during April 2-7, 2022, in Munich, Germany, as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2022. The 46 full papers and 4 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 159 submissions. The proceedings also contain 16 tool papers of the affiliated competition SV-Comp and 1 paper consisting of the competition report. TACAS is a forum for researchers, developers, and users interested in rigorously based tools and algorithms for the construction and analysis of systems. The conference aims to bridge the gaps between different communities with this common interest and to support them in their quest to improve the utility, reliability, exibility, and efficiency of tools and algorithms for building computer-controlled systems
