Alt-Ergo - An automatic theorem prover dedicated to program verification
alt-ergo [ options ] file
Alt-Ergo is an automatic theorem prover. It takes as inputs an arbitrary
polymorphic and multi-sorted first-order formula written is a why like syntax.

- A theory of functional arrays with integer indexes . This theory provides
a built-in type ('a,'b) farray and a built-in syntax for manipulating
arrays.
-
For instance, given an abstract datatype tau and a functional
array t of type (int, tau) farray declared as follows:
type tau
logic t : (int, tau) farray
The expressions:
t[i] denotes the value stored in t at index i
t[i1<-v1,...,in<-vn] denotes an array which stores the
same values as t for every index except possibly i1,...,in, where it
stores value v1,...,vn. This expression is equivalent to
((t[i1<-v1])[i2<-v2])...[in<-vn].
Examples.
t[0<-v][1<-w]
t[0<-v, 1<-w]
t[0<-v, 1<-w][1]
- A theory of enumeration types.
-
For instance an enumeration type t with constructors A, B, C
is defined as follows :
type t = A | B | C
Which means that all values of type t are equal to either A, B
or C. And that all these constructors are distinct.
- A theory of polymorphic records.
-
For instance a polymorphic record type 'a t with two labels a
and b of type 'a and int respectively is defined as follows:
type 'a t = { a : 'a; b : int }
The expressions { a = 4; b = 5 } and { r with b = 3} denote
records, while the dot notation r.a is used to access to labels.
- Alt-Ergo (v. >= 0.95) allows the user to force the type of terms using
the syntax <term> : <type>. The example below illustrates the
use of this new feature.
-
type 'a list
logic nil : 'b list
logic f : 'c list -> int
goal g1 : f(nil) = f(nil) (* not valid because the two
instances of nil may have different types *)
goal g2 : f(nil:'d list) = f(nil:'d list) (* valid *)
