About

SeaHorn is an automated analysis framework for LLVM-based languages. LLVM version is 3.8.

License

SeaHorn is distributed under a modified BSD license. See license.txt for details.

Installation

  • cd seahorn ; mkdir build ; cd build
  • cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=run ../
  • cmake --build . to build dependencies (Z3 and LLVM)
  • cmake --build . --target extra && cmake .. to download extra packages
  • cmake --build . --target crab && cmake .. to configure crab-llvm (if extra target was run)
  • cmake --build . --target install to build seahorn and install everything in run directory

Note that the install target is required!

The install target installs SeaHorn all of it dependencies under build/run. The main executable is build/run/bin/sea.

SeaHorn provides several components that are installed via the extra target. These components can be used by other projects outside of SeaHorn.

  • llvm-seahorn: git clone https://github.com/seahorn/llvm-seahorn.git

    llvm-dsa is the legacy DSA implementation from PoolAlloc. DSA is a heap analysis used by SeaHorn to disambiguate the heap.

  • sea-dsa: git clone https://github.com/seahorn/sea-dsa.git

    sea-dsa is a new DSA-based heap analysis. Unlike llvm-dsa, sea-dsa is context-sensitive and therefore, a finer-grained partition of the heap can be generated in presence of function calls.

  • crab-llvm: git clone https://github.com/seahorn/crab-llvm.git

    crab-llvm provides inductive invariants using abstract interpretation techniques to the rest of SeaHorn's backends.

  • llvm-seahorn: git clone https://github.com/seahorn/llvm-seahorn.git

    llvm-seahorn provides tailored-to-verification versions of InstCombine and IndVarSimplify LLVM passes as well as a LLVM pass to convert undefined values into nondeterministic calls, among other things.

SeaHorn doesn't come with its own version of Clang and expects to find it either in the build directory (run/bin) or in PATH. Make sure that the version of Clang matches the version of LLVM that comes with SeaHorn (currently 3.8). The easiest way to provide the right version of Clang is to download it from llvm.org, unpact it somewhere and create a symbolic link to clang and clang++ in run/bin.

cd seahorn/build/run/bin
ln -s place_where_you_unpacked_clang/bin/clang clang
ln -s place_where_you_unpacked_clang/bin/clang++ clang++

Test

Tests require lit and OutputCheck. These can be installed using

pip install lit OutputCheck

Test can be run using

  $ cmake --build . --target test-simple
  $ cmake --build . --target test-solve
  $ cmake --build . --target test-abc
  $ cmake --build . --target test-dsa

Note: test-dsa requires additional python packages

Usage

SeaHorn provides a python script called sea to interact with users. Given a C program annotated with assertions, users just need to type: sea pf file.c

This will output unsat if all assertions hold or otherwise sat if any of the assertions is violated.

The option pf tells SeaHorn to translate file.c into LLVM bitecode, generate a set of verification conditions (VCs), and finally, solve them. The main back-end solver is spacer.

The command pf provides, among others, the following options:

  • --show-invars: display computed invariants if answer was unsat.

  • --cex=FILE : stores a counter-example in FILE if answer was sat.

  • -g : compiles with debug information for more trackable counterexamples.

  • --step=large: large-step encoding. Each transition relation corresponds to a loop-free fragments.

  • --step=small: small-step encoding. Each transition relation corresponds to a basic block.

  • --track=reg : model (integer) registers only.

  • --track=ptr : model registers and pointers (but not memory content)

  • --track=mem: model both scalars, pointers, and memory contents

  • --inline : inlines the program before verification

  • --crab : inject invariants in spacer generated by the Crab abstract-interpretation-based tool. Read here for details about all Crab options (prefix --crab). You can see which invariants are inferred by Crab by typing option --log=crab.

  • --bmc: use BMC engine.

sea pf is a pipeline that runs multiple commands. Individual parts of the pipeline can be run separately as well:

  1. sea fe file.c -o file.bc: SeaHorn frontend translates a C program into optimized LLVM bitcode including mixed-semantics transformation.

  2. sea horn file.bc -o file.smt2: SeaHorn generates the verification conditions from file.bc and outputs them into SMT-LIB v2 format. Users can choose between different encoding styles with several levels of precision by adding:

    • --step={small,large,fsmall,flarge} where small is small step encoding, large is block-large encoding, fsmall is small step encoding producing flat Horn clauses (i.e., it generates a transition system with only one predicate), and flarge: block-large encoding producing flat Horn clauses.

    • --track={reg,ptr,mem} where reg only models integer scalars, ptr models reg and pointer addresses, and mem models ptr and memory contents.

  3. sea smt file.c -o file.smt2: Generates CHC in SMT-LIB2 format. Is an alias for sea fe followed by sea horn. The command sea pf is an alias for sea smt --prove.

  4. sea clp file.c -o file.clp: Generates CHC in CLP format.

  5. sea lfe file.c -o file.ll : runs the legacy front-end

To see all the commands, type sea --help. To see options for each individual command CMD (e.g, horn), type sea CMD --help (e.g., sea horn --help).

Annotating C programs

This is an example of a C program annotated with a safety property:

    /* verification command: sea pf --horn-stats test.c */
    #include "seahorn/seahorn.h"
    extern int nd();

    int main(void){
      int k=1;
      int i=1;
      int j=0;
      int n = nd();
      while(i<n) {
        j=0;
        while(j<i) {
          k += (i-j);
          j++;
        }
        i++;
      }
      sassert(k>=n);
    }

SeaHorn follows SV-COMP convention of encoding error locations by a call to the designated error function __VERIFIER_error(). SeaHorn returns unsat when __VERIFIER_error() is unreachable, and the program is considered safe. SeaHorn returns sat when __VERIFIER_error() is reachable and the program is unsafe. sassert() method is defined in seahorn/seahorn.h.
