This is not valid when the prefix of a trace already violates
assertions. This can happen when the trace generating solver doesn't
look for a minimal length counterexample.
I have added an optional flag to smtbmc that causes failed temporal induction counterexample traces to be checked for duplicate states and reported to the user, since loops in the counterexample mean that increasing the induction depth won't help prove a design's safety properties.
The witness metadata was missing fine grained FFs completely and for
coarse grained FFs where the output connection has multiple chunks it
lacked the offset of the chunk within the SMT expression. This fixes
both, the later by adding an "smtoffset" field to the metadata.
This adds a native json based witness trace format. By having a common
format that includes everything we support, and providing a conversion
utility (yosys-witness) we no longer need to implement every format for
every tool that deals with witness traces, avoiding a quadratic
opportunity to introduce subtle bugs.
Included:
* smt2: New yosys-smt2-witness info lines containing full hierarchical
paths without lossy escaping.
* yosys-smtbmc --dump-yw trace.yw: Dump results in the new format.
* yosys-smtbmc --yw trace.yw: Read new format as constraints.
* yosys-witness: New tool to convert witness formats.
Currently this can only display traces in a human-readable-only
format and do a passthrough read/write of the new format.
* ywio.py: Small python lib for reading and writing the new format.
Used by yosys-smtbmc and yosys-witness to avoid duplication.
Modifies smt2 backend to recognize `$anyconst` etc. assigned to a wire with the `maximize` or `minimize` attribute and emit `; yosys-smt2-maximize` or `; yosys-smt2-minimize` directives as appropriate.
Modifies `backends/smt2/smtbmc.py` and `smtio.py` to recognize those directives and emit a `(maximize ...)` or `(minimize ...)` command at the end of `smt_forall_assert()`, as described in the paper "νZ - An Optimizing SMT Solver" by Nikolaj Bjørner et al.
Adds an example `examples/smtbmc/demo9.v` to show how it can be used.
