Why3 is a platform for deductive program verification. It provides a rich
|
|
language for specification and programming, called WhyML, and relies on
|
|
external theorem provers, both automated and interactive, to discharge
|
|
verification conditions. Why3 comes with a standard library of logical
|
|
theories (integer and real arithmetic, Boolean operations, sets and maps,
|
|
etc.) and basic programming data structures (arrays, queues, hash tables,
|
|
etc.). A user can write WhyML programs directly and get correct-by-
|
|
construction OCaml programs through an automated extraction mechanism.
|
|
WhyML is also used as an intermediate language for the verification of C,
|
|
Java, or Ada programs.
|
|
|
|
Why3 is a complete reimplementation of the former Why platform. Among the
|
|
new features are: numerous extensions to the input language, a new
|
|
architecture for calling external provers, and a well-designed API,
|
|
allowing to use Why3 as a software library. An important emphasis is put
|
|
on modularity and genericity, giving the end user a possibility to easily
|
|
reuse Why3 formalizations or to add support for a new external prover if
|
|
wanted.
