Overview

Alt-Ergo Zero is an OCaml library for an SMT solver. This SMT solver is derived from Alt-Ergo. It uses an efficient SAT solver and supports the following quantifier free theories:

This API makes heavy use of hash consing, in particular hash-consed strings.

Sources

Alt-Ergo Zero is distributed under the Apache licence.

You can download the sources of the latest version of Alt-Ergo Zero here.

Installation instructions

To compile Alt-Ergo Zero you will need OCaml version 3.11 (or newer).

Uncompress the archive and do:
$ cd aez-0.3
$ ./configure
$ make

then with superuser rigths:
# make install

Documentation

The API is documented with ocamldoc here.

Example

You can construct the following problem and check its validity with the code given afterwards.

type t

f : int → t

∀ x, y : int. ∀ u, w : t.
    (f(x + 3) = u ∧  f(y + 2) = w ∧  x = y - 1 ∧  f(x + y) = u) ⇒ u = w


To run this example in the toplevel you must give ocaml (or ocamlc) the options -I +alt-ergo-zero unix.cma nums.cma aez.cma. To compile natively you must use -I +alt-ergo-zero unix.cmxa nums.cmxa aez.cmxa.
