Cure SMT-LIB Translator

Translates Cure type constraints and expressions into SMT-LIB format for consumption by external SMT solvers (Z3, CVC5).

Features

  • Full translation of Cure expressions to SMT-LIB s-expressions
  • Type mapping (Int, Nat, Bool, Float to SMT types)
  • Logic inference (QF_LIA, QF_LRA, etc.)
  • Variable declaration generation
  • Assertion generation from constraints

Usage 

% Translate a constraint to SMT-LIB query
Constraint = #binary_op_expr{op = '>', left = var(x), right = lit(0)},
Env = #{x => {type, int}},
Query = cure_smt_translator:generate_query(Constraint, Env).
% => \"(set-logic QF_LIA)\\n(declare-const x Int)\\n(assert (> x 0))\\n(check-sat)\\n\"

Functions

collect_variables(Constraint, Env)

-spec collect_variables(expr(), map()) -> [atom()].

Collect all variables from a constraint.

Traverses the AST to find all variable references.

Arguments

  • Constraint - Cure AST expression
  • Env - Environment (for type information)

Returns

  • [atom()] - List of variable names (deduplicated)

declare_variable(VarName, Env)

-spec declare_variable(atom(), map()) -> iolist().

Generate SMT-LIB declaration for a variable.

Creates a (declare-const ...) declaration based on the variable's type.

Arguments

  • VarName - Variable name (atom)
  • Env - Environment with type information

Returns

  • iolist() - SMT-LIB declaration

generate_query(Constraint, Env)

-spec generate_query(expr(), map()) -> iolist().

Generate a complete SMT-LIB query from a Cure constraint.

Produces a full SMT-LIB query including logic declaration, variable declarations, assertions, and check-sat command.

Arguments

  • Constraint - Cure AST expression representing the constraint
  • Env - Environment mapping variables to types

Returns

  • iolist() - SMT-LIB query as iolist (use iolist_to_binary/1 to convert)

Example 

Constraint = #binary_op_expr{op = '+', left = var(x), right = var(y)},
Query = generate_query(Constraint, #{x => {type, int}, y => {type, int}}).

generate_query(Constraint, Env, Opts)

-spec generate_query(expr(), map(), map()) -> iolist().

Generate SMT-LIB query with options.

Options

  • {get_model, boolean()} - Include (get-model) command (default: true)
  • {logic, smt_logic()} - Override logic inference
  • {timeout, integer()} - Solver timeout hint in milliseconds

infer_logic(Constraint)

-spec infer_logic(expr()) -> smt_logic().

  • QF_LRA - Quantifier-free linear real arithmetic
  • QF_LIRA - Quantifier-free linear integer/real arithmetic
  • QF_NIA - Quantifier-free nonlinear integer arithmetic

Arguments

  • Constraint - Cure AST expression
