Instructions for SV-COMP 2024

0. Install the dependencies:

    # apt-get install cmake git g++-11-multilib gcc-11-plugin-dev libboost-dev make python2.7
   

1. Build PredatorHP from sources. (Skip this step if you have binary version compiled for your system -- Predator checks this and predatorHP.py script produces "UNKNOWN" in the case of version mismatch. This is very important when Ubuntu has not installed required dependencies.) In the PredatorHP-2024/ directory, run the following script:

    $ ./build-all.sh
   

2. Use benchexec tool to run the tests or use predatorHP.py note: if witness-graphml-file is needed, add --witness option (as specified in predatorHP.py usage)

DISCLAIMER

predatorhp.py refers to benchexec python plugin/module. This module is a mere wrapper around predatorHP.py, the main running script of Predator Hunting Party.

Usage

You can use the predatorHP.py script to verify each single test-case.

$ predatorHP.py --propertyfile PROPERTYFILE --witness WITNESS [--compiler-options CFLAGS] TASK

PROPERTYFILE: Path to a file containing the property to be verified
              (in SV-COMP LTL specification)
WITNESS:      Path to a file, where the witness trace in XML will be written
CFLAGS:       Compiler options (e.g. --compiler-options="-m32 -g")
TASK:         Path to a C program to be verified
