Bulding and running proofs
Building and running proofs
--------------------------
For historical reasons, some of the proofs are built and run using CMake
and CTest. Others use a custom python-based build system. New proofs
should use CMake. This README describes how to build and run both kinds
of proof.
Currently, only python based builds are supported for the CBMC proofs. The proofs
can be run on Linux and MacOS. Windows users can use [WSL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl).
The below section outlines the instructions for the Python based build.
### Prerequisites
CMake-based build
-----------------
Follow the CBMC installation instructions below.
Suppose that the freertos source tree is located at
`~/src/freertos` and you wish to build the proofs into
`~/build/freertos`. The following three commands build and run
the proofs:
```sh
cmake -S~/src/freertos -B~/build/freertos -DCOMPILER=cbmc
-DBOARD=windows -DVENDOR=pc
cmake --build ~/build/freertos --target all-proofs
cd ~/build/freertos && ctest -L cbmc
```
Alternatively, this single command does the same thing, assuming you
have the Ninja build tool installed:
```sh
ctest --build-and-test \
~/src/freertos \
~/build/freertos \
--build-target cbmc \
--build-generator Ninja \
--build-options \
-DCOMPILER=cbmc \
-DBOARD=windows \
-DVENDOR=pc \
--test-command ctest -j4 -L cbmc --output-on-failure
```
On Windows, you can install WSL using these simple [instructions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install).
You will need Python version >= 3.7.
And you will need Make to build and run the proofs.
If you are running on a 64-bit machine, please install the 32-bit version of gcc
libraires. For example, on linux, one would run the following command to install
the libraries: `sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib`
Python-based build
------------------
### Installing CBMC
### Prerequisites
- The latest installation instructions can be found on the
[releases](https://github.com/diffblue/cbmc/releases) page of the CBMC repository.
You will need Python 3. On Windows, you will need Visual Studio 2015 or later
(in particular, you will need the Developer Command Prompt and NMake). On macOS
and Linux, you will need Make.
- Please follow all the installation instructions given for your platform.
- Ensure that you can run the programs `cbmc`, `goto-cc` (or `goto-cl`
on Windows), and `goto-instrument` from the command line. If you cannot run these
commands, please refer to the above instructions to install CBMC.
### Installing CBMC
### Installing CBMC-viewer (to generate the report)
- Clone the [CBMC repository](https://github.com/diffblue/cbmc).
- The canonical compilation and installation instructions are in the
[COMPILING.md](https://github.com/diffblue/cbmc/blob/develop/COMPILING.md)
file in the CBMC repository; we reproduce the most important steps for
Windows users here, but refer to that document if in doubt.
- Download and install CMake from the [CMake website](https://cmake.org/download).
- Download and install the "git for Windows" package, which also
provides the `patch` command, from [here](https://git-scm.com/download/win).
- Download the flex and bison for Windows package from
[this sourceforge site](https://sourceforge.net/projects/winflexbison).
"Install" it by dropping the contents of the entire unzipped
package into the top-level CBMC source directory.
- Change into the top-level CBMC source directory and run
```
cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DWITH_JBMC=OFF
cmake --build build
```
- The latest installation instructions can be found on the
[releases](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-viewer-for-cbmc/releases) page of the CBMC-viewer repository.
- Ensure that you can run the programs `cbmc`, `goto-cc` (or `goto-cl`
on Windows), and `goto-instrument` from the command line. If you build
CBMC with CMake, the programs will have been installed under the
`build/bin/Debug` directory under the top-level `cbmc` directory; you
should add that directory to your `$PATH`. If you built CBMC using
Make, then those programs will have been installed in the `src/cbmc`,
`src/goto-cc`, and `src/goto-instrument` directories respectively.
- Please follow all the installation instructions given for your platform.
- Ensure that you can run the programs `cbmc-viewer`. If not, please verify
that all instructions above have been followed.
### Setting up the proofs
Change into the `proofs` directory. On Windows, run
```
python prepare.py
```
On macOS or Linux, run
Make sure that all the submodules of the FreeRTOS repository have been cloned. To
clone all the submodules, go to the root of the FreeRTOS repository and run this
command: `git submodule update --init --recursive --checkout`.
Change into the `proofs` directory and run
```
./prepare.py
python3 prepare.py
```
If you are on a Windows machine but want to generate Linux Makefiles (or vice
versa), you can pass the `--system linux` or `--system windows` options to those
programs.
### Running the proofs
Each of the leaf directories under `proofs` is a proof of the memory
safety of a single entry point in FreeRTOS. The scripts that you ran in the
previous step will have left a Makefile in each of those directories. To
run a proof, change into the directory for that proof and run `nmake` on
Windows or `make` on Linux or macOS. The proofs may take some time to
run; they eventually write their output to `cbmc.txt`, which should have
the text `VERIFICATION SUCCESSFUL` at the end.

The make command will also generate a report in html and json format which makes
understanding the failures easier.
### Proof directory structure
