Z3 is a solver for symbolic logic, a foundation for + many software engineering tools. SMT solvers rely on a tight integration of + specialized engines of proof. Each engine owns a piece of the global puzzle + and implements specialized algorithms. For example, Z3’s engine for + arithmetic integrates Simplex, cuts and polynomial reasoning, while an + engine for strings are regular expressions integrate methods for symbolic + derivatives of regular languages. A theme shared among many of the + algorithms is how they exploit a duality between finding satisfying + solutions and finding refutation proofs. The solver also integrates engines + for global and local inferences and global propagation. Z3 is used in a + wide range of software engineering applications, ranging from program + verification, compiler validation, testing, fuzzing using dynamic symbolic + execution, model-based software development, network verification, and + optimization. + </longdescription> <use> <flag name="isabelle">Add integration support for the Isabelle/HOL theorem prover.</flag> </use> <upstream> + <bugs-to>https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3/issues/</bugs-to> <remote-id type="github">Z3Prover/z3</remote-id> </upstream> </pkgmetadata> |
