LIBCVC4(3)

NAME
libcvc4 - a library interface for the CVC4 theorem prover

SYNOPSIS

A small program like:

    #include <iostream>
    #include "expr/expr_manager.h"
    #include "smt/smt_engine.h"

    using namespace CVC4;

    int main() {
      ExprManager em;
      SmtEngine smt(&em);
      Expr onePlusTwo = em.mkExpr(kind::PLUS,
                                  em.mkConst(Rational(1)),
                                  em.mkConst(Rational(2)));
      std::cout << language::SetLanguage(language::output::LANG_CVC4)
                << smt.getInfo("name")
                << " says that 1 + 2 = "
                << smt.simplify(onePlusTwo)
                << std::endl;

      return 0;
    }

gives the output:

    "cvc4" says that 1 + 2 = 3

DESCRIPTION

The main classes of interest in CVC4's API are ExprManager, SmtEngine, and a few related ones like Expr and Type.

The ExprManager is used to build up expressions and types, and the SmtEngine is used primarily to make assertions, check satisfiability/validity, and extract models and proofs.
