**This PR currently includes #943 **

This patch implements constraint propagation for the logical operators (and, or, xor) on bit-vectors.

The goal of this patch is to ensure that Alt-Ergo has a complete understanding of the logical operators on bit-vectors, and in particular that it will never violate the definition of the logical operators when generating models. They are thus removed from the "suspicious" operators (along with int2bv and bv2nat that are now handled through the "delayed functions" mechanism, even though this patch does not impact these functions).

The patch can be decomposed in changes of the following categories, where each category can mostly be reviewed independently (all in the same patch because they wouldn't really make sense on their own):

  • Some minor refactoring in Bitv, Th_util, Expr, ModelMap and Symbols to expose the required functions and types, including a Th_bitv constructor for bit-vector case-splits and a built-in symbol for bvxor

  • The new Bitlist module introduces a representation of bit-vector domains as bit-lists, i.e. pairs of (ones, zeroes) represented as integers where the bits forced to 1 are set in ones, and the bits forced to 0 are set in zeroes.

  • There is a new Congruence module in Rel_utils that is exploited by the BV constraint propagators. The Congruence module can be understood as a lighter version of Use for semantic values (rather than terms): it provides a mechanism to register "semantic values of interest" (in our case, it will be the arguments of the logical operators and the result of the logical operator themselves) and be notified when the representative of these semantic values of interest are updated. To avoid partially inconsistent states, the congruence module computes the leaves the each semantic values of interest and updates all the semantic values that have a given leaf at once.

    This Congruence module is not BV-specific, hence why it is in Rel_utils.

  • Finally, the main course is in the Bitv_rel module, where the new constraint propagators are added. The constraint propagators are represented using separate Domains and Constraints modules that are kept normalized (i.e. they only reference current class representatives in Uf) through the Congruence utility.

    The Domains module is simply a map from class representatives to their domain, represented as a Bitlist. To avoid unnecessary propagations, the Domains module keeps track of the values whose domain has changed since the last propagation, to know that we must propagate the associated constraints again.

    The Constraints module is a set of Constraints that keeps track of the semantic values that are involved in each constraint to avoid unnecessary propagations. The Constraints are normalized (so that if we have both a = b & c and a = b & d, we only keep one once we learn that c = d), and we also keep track of the constraints that were never propagated.

    The Bitv_rel environment then keeps track of a Domains and a Constraints set that are updated through Congruence whenever a class representative changes (detected through equalities with Subst origin). After each change to either the domains or the constraints (either through a class representative change or because we added a new constraint), we propagate the fresh constraints and the constraints involving values whose domain has changed. We maintain the invariant that, outside of the add and assume functions, all the constraints in the Constraints set are satisfied by the domains of the Domains.

In the interest of keeping the patch relatively short and facilitate its review, many desirable features have been left out for now, and there are many places where the implementation can be improved. Notably:

  • We do not perform any sort of constraint simplification (outside of the normalization used for de-duplication). This can cause backtracking inefficiencies: if we have a constraint involving the concatenation a @ b, and we substitute b -> c, then detect a conflict involving a, the explanation for the substitution b -> c will end up in the conflict even though it had no impact, causing more work than necessary. This can be added in a second step.

  • The constraints are represented in a relational way rather than a functional way. This means that if we have both a = b & c and d = b & c as constraints, we will not learn that a = d. I don't think this has any impact currently, because the only way we can learn a constraint a = b & c is if a is equal to b & c as a term, but could have one in the future if we want to perform simplifications.

  • Only logical operators are supported. In particular, there is no support for combined reasoning with arithmetic, which is a whole can of worms in itself (in the current Alt-Ergo architecture, we do not have access to the interval domains from the bit-vector theory and conversely).

Finally, this patch purposely does not implement any sort of algebraic reasoning on bit-vectors 1: while with this patch Alt-Ergo is able to prove theorems such as De Morgan's laws or algebraic properties (associativity, commutativity, neutral elements, inverses, etc.) of the logical operators, this will currently happen through painstaking case-splitting which gets slow on large bit-vector sizes 2.

Footnotes

  1. The equation x ^ x = 0 happens to be known as a side-effect of the representation of XOR constraints.

  2. The value of "large" here is actually fairly small, because proving these laws through propagation often requires exploring the full space, which is exponential.

It turns out that OCamlPro#881 revealed
a latent issue with the implementation in
OCamlPro#733

When we encounter a [bv2nat] term, we create a *term* that represents
the [bv2nat] computation, then call [X.make] on the result. This has the
unfortunate effect that the sub-terms of that new term are not added to
the Union-Find (or at least not before the term itself). This is bad,
but was harmless at the time.

However, the resulting term from a call of [bv2nat] includes divisions.
And since OCamlPro#881 divisions are
represented by an uninterpreted term rather than an existential variable
— and [IntervalCalculus.add] inspects that term, rightfully expecting
that its sub-terms have been added to the Union-Find, which in this case
they are not, and so we crash.

This patch fixes the issue by introducing an uninterpreted term for the
result of [bv2nat] and adding the equality between that uninterpreted
term and the [bv2nat] computation. This equality is then processed as a
term on its own, ensuring that subterms are added to the Union-Find
before the terms that contain them.

Note that long-term, we probably want to get rid of the construction of
[bv2nat] terms directly in [X.make] in favor of propagators in a
follow-up to OCamlPro#944 . This would
avoid needing to go through terms for this.

Looks like there is unsoundness in some benches — marking as draft until I can dig deeper.

Can I submit my review anyway? My remarks are mostly about documentation and some questions.

Yes sure — I have just marked it as draft to make sure it is not merged.

I also have identified the soundness issue (a misunderstanding on my part in the meaning of the is_cs return value of case_split); a patch is on the way.

bclement-ocp added a commit to bclement-ocp/alt-ergo that referenced this pull request Nov 23, 2023
The BV model generation was using an incorrect understanding of the
[is_cs] flag that lead to unsoundness because it assumed that it was
fine to set this flag to [false] when the value is forced *in the
current context* whereas it is only valid to do so when the value is
forced *in all contexts*.

This PR fixes that

Unfortunately the fix leads to a test that no longer passes, but for
good reason as the reasoning used for it was unsound. Hopefully this
should be fixed in a follow-up to
OCamlPro#944

I have also added a new test that is actually satisfiable but would
previously return [unsat]. It times out for now, but is solved properly
in OCamlPro#944

The soundness issue is solved through a combination of Handle case-split conflicts properly and #968

Waiting on #968 and #969 to be merged to run benches again

Note that there are cases where we used to be able to solve but we no longer are able to solve due to (I believe) the coarse explanations returned by constraint propagation that causes Alt-Ergo to perform exhaustive enumeration rather than actually performing the higher-level reasoning steps that it is able to do without this patch. These should be at least partially fixed by performing constraint simplifications, which was explicitly left out of this PR for now, as explained in the description.

A general question about the necessity of this module. During the last meeting, you suggest that we use expression too deeply in the solver (for instance we keep using expression in SatML for the representation of literals). If we stop doing this and use as soon as possible semantic values, could we use the CC(X) algorithm here?

I am not sure it is related to the use of expressions in satML, but yes, ideally CC(X) would have a built-in way of keeping track of this information rather than having each relation re-implement the bits it needs as we currently do. But AE currently doesn't really provide the required infrastructure (I thought about using it, but I believe that would require some non-trivial modifications that would be a full PR on their own, so I decided against it), so at least we can try to share the infrastructure.

subsumes is misleading as the function doesn't check the consistency. When I read subsumes, I expect one of the two arguments implies the other one.

It initially did check that when I called it that way, then it no longer did. Actually this is only used in situations where equal can be used instead, so I will just use that and remove subsumes.

This was +876-692 (delta of +184 which is nice) on QF_BV against #943 but the benchmarks lead to the detection of #978 and #979

Among the 692 regressions there is a certain number of cases where we time out due to being too aggressive in terms of splits; I have implemented support for Options.get_max_split () in the BV domain which seems to help on the few cases I have manually re-run. Rerunning benchmarks on QF_BV with these changes against next, with #943 and the fixes for #978 and #979.

Edit: I know I messed up the style, I will fix it once the benches are done.

This was just an unfortunate omission that led to needlessly bloated
environments.
We cannot simply claim that forced splits are not case splits (see
OCamlPro#968 ). In order to do proper
backtracking using exlpanations, we have to propagate the equality
[x = #b1] when we learn [x = #b0] from the case-split.

To keep things simple, we only directly support [Distinct] in the BV
domain for the literals that come from a case split (other cases are
handled by the union-find *after* the splits). We might want to add
proper support for arbitrary [Distinct] constraints later.
We can just use [Bitlist.equal].

In OCamlPro#944, the `Congruence` module was added to simplify handling
dependences for both domains and constraints, because we tracked domains
separately for all terms.

After OCamlPro#1004, we now track domains only for uninterpreted leaves, and the
`Congruence` module is only used for `Constraints`. This leads to a sort
of double indirection: the `Congruence` module keeps track of reverse
uninterpreted leaves -> class representative dependencies, and then the
`Constraints` module keeps track of reverse class representative ->
constraint dependencies.

This patch removes the `Congruence` module entirely; instead, the
`Constraints` module is now keeping track of reverse uninterpreted
leaves -> constraint dependencies directly.

Further refactoring work will move the `Congruence` module to
`Rel_utils` as it can be a generally useful module for other theories.

* refactor(BV): Hide constraint representation

This patch makes the representation of bit-vector constraints abstract.
This is preparatory work for further refactoring, as there is no reason
to expose it outside of the `Constraint` module.

This is in preparation of further refactoring work to make `Constraints`
a functor.

This patch moves the `Constraints` module from the BV theory to the
`Rel_utils` theory and make it a functor. This makes it independent from
the implementation of BV constraints and makes it useable in other
theories in the future.
