This tool suite is currently composed of two tools
- Dartagnan: a tool to check state reachability under weak memory models, and
- Porthos: a tool to check state inclusion under weak memory models.
- Maven (if you want to build the tools. If not see the release section)
- SMACK 2.5.0 (only to verify C programs)
Download the z3 dependency
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=lib/z3-4.8.6.jar -DgroupId=com.microsoft -DartifactId="z3" -Dversion=4.8.6 -Dpackaging=jar
Set Dat3M's home, the path and shared libraries variables (replace the latter by DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in MacOS)
export DAT3M_HOME=<Dat3M's root>
export PATH=$DAT3M_HOME/:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DAT3M_HOME/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
To build the tools run
mvn clean install -DskipTests
We provide a set of unit tests that can be run by
mvn test
Note: there are almost 40K tests, running them can take several hs.
Dat3M comes with a user interface (UI) where it is easy to select the tool to use (Dartagnan or Porthos), import, export and modify both the program and the memory model and select the options for the verification engine (see below). You can start the UI by running
java -jar ui/target/ui-2.0.6-jar-with-dependencies.jar
Dartagnan supports programs written in the .litmus or .bpl (Boogie) formats. For Porthos, programs shall be written in the .pts format which is explained here.
If SMACK was correctly installed, C programs can be converted to Boogie using the following command:
smack -t -bpl <new Boogie file> <C file> [--integer-encoding bit-vector] --no-memory-splitting --clang-options="-DCUSTOM_VERIFIER_ASSERT -I\$DAT3M_HOME/include/"
You can also run Dartagnan and Porthos from the console.
For checking reachability (Dartagnan):
java -jar dartagnan/target/dartagnan-2.0.6-jar-with-dependencies.jar -cat <CAT file> [-t <target>] -i <program file> [options]
For checking state inclusion (Porthos):
java -jar porthos/target/porthos-2.0.6-jar-with-dependencies.jar -s <source> -scat <CAT file> -t <target> -tcat <CAT file> -i <program file> [options]
The -cat,-scat,-tcat options specify the paths to the CAT files.
For programs written in the .bpl (if the original c program uses the std::atomic library) or .pts format, \<source> and \<target> specify the architectures to which the program will be compiled. They must be one of the following:
- none
- tso
- power
- arm
- arm8
Program written in .litmus format do not require such options.
Other optional arguments include:
-m, --mode {knastertarski, idl, kleene}: specifies the encoding for fixed points. Knaster-tarski (default mode) uses the encoding introduced in [2]. Mode idl uses the Integer Difference Logic iteration encoding introduced in [1]. Kleene mode uses the Kleene iteration encoding using one Boolean variable for each iteration step.-a, --alias {none, andersen, cfs}: specifies the alias-analysis used. Option andersen (the default one) uses a control-flow-insensitive method. Option cfs uses a control-flow-sensitive method. Option none performs no alias analysis.-unroll: unrolling bound for the BMC.
Dartagnan supports input non-determinism, assumptions and assertions using the SVCOMP commands __VERIFIER_nondet_X, __VERIFIER_assume and __VERIFIER_assert.
