Reasoners available via CL
CodeLogician leverages powerful automated reasoning engines to provide mathematical guarantees about your code. These reasoners form the symbolic foundation that enables CodeLogician to go beyond statistical pattern matching and provide rigorous, logic-based analysis.
What are Reasoners?
Reasoners are automated reasoning engines that can:
- Prove or disprove properties about your code mathematically
- Explore all possible execution paths systematically
- Generate counterexamples when properties don't hold
- Decompose complex state spaces into manageable regions
- Verify correctness with mathematical certainty
Unlike traditional testing which checks specific inputs, reasoners perform symbolic analysis over potentially infinite input spaces.
Available Reasoners
ImandraX
Primary Reasoning Engine
ImandraX is the latest version of the Imandra automated reasoning engine and the primary reasoner used by CodeLogician. It combines theorem proving, symbolic model checking, and constraint solving to analyze code with mathematical precision.
Key Capabilities:
- Formal Verification: Mathematically prove properties of your code
- Region Decomposition: Automatically discover all edge cases in your code
- Counterexample Generation: Get concrete examples when verification fails
- Test Case Generation: Generate comprehensive test suites from formal models
- Mechanized Semantics: Based on a formal mathematical foundation
Input Language:
ImandraX uses the Imandra Modeling Language (IML), a pure subset of OCaml with added reasoning directives. CodeLogician automatically translates your source code into IML for analysis.
How CodeLogician Uses Reasoners
CodeLogician acts as an intelligent interface between your code and these powerful reasoning engines:
- Automatic Formalization: Your code is translated into formal models
- Property Verification: Safety and correctness properties are checked mathematically
- Edge Case Discovery: Region decomposition finds all behavioral patterns
- Test Generation: Formal analysis produces comprehensive test cases
- Counterexample-Guided Refinement: Failed proofs guide code improvements
Getting Started with Reasoners
You don't need to be an expert in formal methods to benefit from reasoners! CodeLogician handles the complexity of interacting with reasoning engines, letting you focus on your code while receiving mathematical guarantees about its behavior.
