What4 is a library for representing symbolic terms and communicating with satisfiability and SMT solvers (e.g. Yices and Z3).
It was originally a part of the Crucible project, but has found use cases that are independent of its original purpose as the representation language for the Crucible symbolic simulator, and has thus been split out into a separate repository.
For an overview of What4 and how to use it, please see the package-level README.
