This extends the experimental incremental JSON API to allow arbitrary
smtlib subexpressions, defining smtlib constants and to allow access of
signals by their .yw path.
It also fixes a bug during .yw writing where values would be re-emitted
in later cycles if they have no newer defined value and a potential
crash when using --track-assumes.
The --track-assumes option makes smtbmc keep track of which assumptions
were used by the solver when reaching an unsat case and to output that
set of assumptions. This is particularly useful to debug PREUNSAT
failures.
The --minimize-assumes option can be used in addition to --track-assumes
which will cause smtbmc to spend additional solving effort to produce a
minimal set of assumptions that are sufficient to cause the unsat
result.
Previously `unroll_stmt` would recurse over the smtlib expressions as
well as recursively follow not-yet-emitted definitions the current
expression depends on. While the depth of smtlib expressions generated
by yosys seems to be reasonably bounded, the dependency chain of
not-yet-emitted definitions can grow linearly with the size of the
design and linearly in the BMC depth.
This makes `unroll_stmt` use a `list` as stack, using python generators
and `recursion_helper` function to keep the overall code structure of
the previous recursive implementation.
The previous implementation for finding the end of a top-level s-expr
exhibited quadratic behavior as it would re-scan the complete input for
the current expression for every new line. For large designs with
trivial properties this could easily take seconds and dominate the
runtime over the actual solving.
This change remembers the current nesting level between lines, avoiding
the re-scanning.
Python 3.12 emits a SyntaxWarning when encountering invalid escape
sequences. They still parse as expected. Marking these raw produces
the same result without the warnings.
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.
Refer to the SMT-LIB specification, section 4.1.7. According to the spec, some options can only be specified in `start` mode. Once the solver sees `set-logic`, it moves to `assert` mode.
Ensures that "BV" is the logic whenever solving an exists-forall problem with Yices, moves the "(set-logic ...)" directive above any non-info line, sets the `ef-max-iters` parameter to a very high number when using Yices in exists-forall mode so as not to prematurely abandon difficult problems, and does not provide the incompatible "--incremental" Yices argument when in exists-forall mode.
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.
