SMACK is both a *modular software verification toolchain* and a

*self-contained software verifier*. It can be used to verify the assertions

in its input programs. In its default mode, assertions are verified up to a

given bound on loop iterations and recursion depth; it contains experimental

support for unbounded verification as well. SMACK handles complicated feature

of the C language, including dynamic memory allocation, pointer arithmetic, and

bitwise operations.

Under the hood, SMACK is a translator from the [LLVM](http://www.llvm.org)

compiler's popular intermediate representation (IR) into the

[Boogie](https://github.com/boogie-org/boogie) intermediate verification language (IVL).

Sourcing LLVM IR exploits an increasing number of compiler front-ends,

optimizations, and analyses. Currently SMACK only supports the C language via

the [Clang](http://clang.llvm.org) compiler, though we are working on providing

support for additional languages. Targeting Boogie exploits a canonical

platform which simplifies the implementation of algorithms for verification,

model checking, and abstract interpretation. Currently, SMACK leverages the

[Boogie](https://github.com/boogie-org/boogie) and [Corral](https://github.com/boogie-org/corral)

verifiers.

See below for system requirements, installation, usage, and everything else.

*We are very interested in your experience using SMACK. Please do contact

[Zvonimir](mailto:[email protected]) or

[Michael](mailto:[email protected]) with any possible feedback.*

### Support

* For general questions, first consult the [FAQ](docs/faq.md).

* If something is otherwise broken or missing, open an [issue](https://github.com/smackers/smack/issues).

* As a last resort, send mail to 

  [Michael](mailto:[email protected]), [Zvonimir](mailto:[email protected]), or both.

* To stay informed about updates, you can watch SMACK's Github page.

### Acknowledgements

SMACK project has been partially supported by funding from the National Science

Foundation, VMware, Amazon, and Microsoft Research. We also rely on University of

Utah's [Emulab](http://www.emulab.net/) infrastructure for extensive

benchmarking of SMACK.
