# Haskell bindings for Microsoft's Z3 (unofficial)

![Version](https://img.shields.io/hackage/v/z3)
![Testsuite workflow](https://github.com/IagoAbal/haskell-z3/actions/workflows/testsuite.yml/badge.svg)

These are Haskell bindings for the Z3 theorem prover.
We don't provide any high-level interface (e.g. in the form of a Haskell eDSL) here,
these bindings are targeted to those who want to build verification tools on top of Z3 in Haskell.

## State of maintenance

The library is currently "maintained", meaning that I try to be responsive to new
issues and pull requests.
Unfortunately I do not have time to investigate issues or to do major work myself.
I do try to help those who want to contribute.

If someone demonstrates willingness to maintain the library more actively
in the long run, then I will be very happy to give the required permissions
to become a co-maintainer.
In the meantime I will do my best to keep it alive.

## Supported versions and version policy

Z3 releases come out often and sometimes introduce backwards incompatible changes.
In order to avoid churn and `#ifdef`-ery, we only support recent releases of the latest Z3 minor version.
We use semantic versioning to reflect which versions are supported:

.[.]

The `` indicates which version of Z3 is supported, it is computed as
_x*100+y_ for Z3 _x.y_. For example, versions _408.y.z_ of these bindings are
meant to support versions _4.8.*_ of Z3.
This version policy is in line with Haskell's PVP.
If you are using an older solver version you can check compatibility with these bindings below:

### Z3-4.8.* compatibility

| Bindings version / Z3 version | 4.8.12 | 4.8.11 | 4.8.10 | 4.8.9 | 4.8.7 | 4.8.6 | 4.8.5 | 4.8.4 | 4.8.3 | 4.8.1 |
| ---- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 408.3 | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| 408.2 | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| 408.1 | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| 408.0 | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |

## Installation

Preferably use the [z3](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/z3) package.

* Install a [Z3](https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3) *4.x* release.
(Support for Z3 *3.x* is provided by the *0.3.2* version of these bindings.)
* Just type _cabal install z3_ if you used the standard locations for dynamic libraries (_/usr/lib_) and header files (_/usr/include_).

* Otherwise use the _--extra-lib-dirs_ and _--extra-include-dirs_ Cabal flags when installing.

## Example

Most people use the `Z3.Monad` interface.
Here is an example script that solves the 4-queen puzzle:

```haskell
import Control.Applicative
import Control.Monad ( join )
import Data.Maybe
import qualified Data.Traversable as T

import Z3.Monad

script :: Z3 (Maybe [Integer])
script = do
q1 <- mkFreshIntVar "q1"
q2 <- mkFreshIntVar "q2"
q3 <- mkFreshIntVar "q3"
q4 <- mkFreshIntVar "q4"
_1 <- mkInteger 1
_4 <- mkInteger 4
-- the ith-queen is in the ith-row.
-- qi is the column of the ith-queen
assert =<< mkAnd =<< T.sequence
[ mkLe _1 q1, mkLe q1 _4 -- 1 <= q1 <= 4
, mkLe _1 q2, mkLe q2 _4
, mkLe _1 q3, mkLe q3 _4
, mkLe _1 q4, mkLe q4 _4
]
-- different columns
assert =<< mkDistinct [q1,q2,q3,q4]
-- avoid diagonal attacks
assert =<< mkNot =<< mkOr =<< T.sequence
[ diagonal 1 q1 q2 -- diagonal line of attack between q1 and q2
, diagonal 2 q1 q3
, diagonal 3 q1 q4
, diagonal 1 q2 q3
, diagonal 2 q2 q4
, diagonal 1 q3 q4
]
-- check and get solution
fmap snd $ withModel $ \m ->
catMaybes <$> mapM (evalInt m) [q1,q2,q3,q4]
where mkAbs x = do
_0 <- mkInteger 0
join $ mkIte <$> mkLe _0 x <*> pure x <*> mkUnaryMinus x
diagonal d c c' =
join $ mkEq <$> (mkAbs =<< mkSub [c',c]) <*> (mkInteger d)
```

In order to run this SMT script:

```haskell
main :: IO ()
main = evalZ3 script >>= \mbSol ->
case mbSol of
Nothing -> error "No solution found."
Just sol -> putStr "Solution: " >> print sol
```

## Garbage Collection

This library automatically garbage collects all C objects created through its API.

## Concurrency

Since version `408.3`, this library implements thread-safety over the C API,
i.e. API calls are serialized by locking on their `Context` argument.
To safely compile for multi-threaded code please upgrade to `>= 408.3`.

Operations and objects in different `Context`s can safely be accessed concurrently
and are not synchronized by this library.
Therefore, if you want to achieve real concurrency,
you must use a different `Context` in each thread.
You can use the `*_translate_*` functions from Z3's API to copy objects between different `Contexts`.
