2019-05-21SMT: Add control flow node numbers to memory events to track program orderAlasdair Armstrong
Add path conditions to memory events Allow simplication of generated SMT based on constructor kinds
2019-05-10SMT: Lazily compute efficient path conditionalsAlasdair
Effectively reverts 7280e7b with a different method that isn't slow, although it's not totally clear that this is correct - it could just be more subtly wrong than before commit 7280e7b. Following is mostly so I can remember what I did to document & write up properly at some point: What we do is compute 'pi' conditions as before by traversing the dominator tree, we each node having a pi condition defined as the conjunction of all guards between it and the start node in the dominator tree. This is imprecise because we have situations like 1 / \ 2 3 | | | 4 | |\ 5 6 9 \ / | 7 10 | 8 where 8 = match_failure, 1 = start and 10 = return. 2, 3, 6 and 9 are guards as they come directly after a control flow split, which always follows a conditional jump. Here the path through the dominator tree for the match_failure is 1->7->8 which contains no guards so the pi condition would be empty. What we do now is walk backwards (CFG must be acyclic at this point) until we hit the join point prior to where we require a path condition. We then take the disjunction of the pi conditions for the join point's predecessors, so 5 and 6 in this case. Which gives us a path condition of 2 | (3 & 6) as the dominator chains are 1->2->5 and 1->3->4->6. I think this works as any split in the control flow must have been caused by a conditional jump followed by distinct guards, so each of the nodes immediately prior to a join point must be dominated by at least one unique guard. It also explains why the pi conditions seem sufficient to choose outcomes of phi functions. If we hit a guard before a join (such as 9 for return's path conditional) we just return the pi condition for that guard, i.e. (3 & 9) for 10. If we reach start then the path condition is simply true.
2019-05-09SMT: Add explicit terminators to SSA graphAlasdair Armstrong
Makes the graph slightly cleaner, and means we can represent conditionals in a way that shoud allow computing path conditions much easier. Essentially rather than a basic block being a list of instructions where the last instruction is a jump (or other terminator) it is now a list of instructions combined with an explict terminator, i.e. CF_block (instrs @ I_jump (cval, label) ==> CF_block (instrs, T_jump (n, label)) Rather than storing the cval in the T_jump it just has a number that links to a mapping from numbers to cvals, and we represent the negation of any cval in that table by negating its number. Therefore at any join point in the CFG, we can efficiently check when the joining path conditionals contain both n and minus n and remove both.
2019-04-25SMT: Provide a more useful error message when topsort failsAlasdair
2019-04-09SMT: Experimental Jib->SMT translationAlasdair Armstrong
Currently only works with CVC4, test cases are in test/smt. Can prove that RISC-V add instruction actually adds values in registers and that's about it for now.
2019-04-01C: Add identifier to end instructionAlasdair
Allows us to track the last version of the return variable when the AST in in SSA form.
2019-03-21Jib: Add types to Phi functionsAlasdair Armstrong
Add a test case to ensure variable types in l-expressions remain the same with flow-sensitive constraints.
2019-03-15C: Wrap Jib identifiersAlasdair
Avoids duplication between l-expressions and expressions. Also means that special variables like current_exception and have_exception are treated normally by functions such as instr_reads and instr_writes etc. Furthermore we can now easily annotate Jib identifiers in ways that were not previously possible with plain sail ids.
2019-03-14Add various useful methods to interactive modeAlasdair Armstrong
:def <definition> evaluates a top-level definition :(b)ind <id> : <type> creates an identifier within the interactive type-checking environment :let <id> = <expression> defines an identifier Using :def the following now works and brings the correct vector operations into scope. :def default Order dec :load lib/prelude.sail Also fix a type-variable shadowing bug
2019-03-14C: Some further tweaksAlasdair Armstrong
2019-03-13C: Improve Jib IR, add SSA representationAlasdair Armstrong
Add a CL_void l-expression so we don't have redundant unit-typed variables everywhere, and add an optimization in Jib_optimize called optimize_unit which introduces these. Remove the basic control-flow graph in Jib_util and add a new mutable control-flow graph type in Jib_ssa which allows the IR to be converted into SSA form. The mutable graph allows for more efficient updates, and includes both back and forwards references making it much more convenient to traverse. Having an SSA representation should make some optimizations much simpler, and is also probably more natural for SMT generation where variables have to be defined once using declare-const anyway. Debug option -ddump_flow_graphs now outputs SSA'd graphs of the functions in a specification.
