Alt-Ergo - An automatic theorem prover dedicated to program verification

Authors

       Sylvain Conchon <conchon@lri.fr> and Evelyne Contejean <contejea@lri.fr>

Description

Alt-Ergo  is  an  automatic theorem prover.  It takes as inputs an arbitrary polymorphic and multi-sorted
       first-order formula written is a why like syntax.

Environment Variables

Examples

       A theory of functional arrays with integer indexes . This theory provides a built-in type ('a,'b) farray
       and a built-in syntax for manipulating arrays.

              For instance, given an abstract datatype tau and a functional array t of type  (int,  tau)  farray
              declared as follows:

              type tau

              logic t : (int, tau) farray

              The expressions:

              t[i] denotes the value stored in t at index i

              t[i1<-v1,...,in<-vn]  denotes  an  array  which stores the same values as t for every index except
              possibly  i1,...,in,  where  it  stores  value  v1,...,vn.  This  expression  is   equivalent   to
              ((t[i1<-v1])[i2<-v2])...[in<-vn].

              Examples.

              t[0<-v][1<-w]

              t[0<-v, 1<-w]

              t[0<-v, 1<-w][1]

       A theory of enumeration types.

              For instance an enumeration type t with constructors A, B, C is defined as follows :

              type t = A | B | C

              Which  means  that  all  values  of  type  t  are  equal  to  either A, B or C. And that all these
              constructors are distinct.

       A theory of polymorphic records.

              For instance a polymorphic record type 'a  t  with  two  labels  a  and  b  of  type  'a  and  int
              respectively is defined as follows:

              type 'a t = { a : 'a; b : int }

              The expressions { a = 4; b = 5 } and { r with b = 3} denote records, while the dot notation r.a is
              used to access to labels.

       Alt-Ergo (v. >= 0.95) allows the user to force the type of terms using the syntax <term> : <type>. The
       example below illustrates the use of this new feature.

              type 'a list

              logic nil : 'b list

              logic f : 'c list -> int

              goal  g1  : f(nil) = f(nil) (* not valid because the two instances of nil may have different types
              *)

              goal g2 : f(nil:'d list) = f(nil:'d list) (* valid *)
