[0.53.0] - 2024-02-23

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Changed

  • Minimum distance requirements are now asserted for Keccak function calls. They assert that it's hard to generate two Keccak's that are less than 256 afar.
  • Keccak concretization is now done only after all simplifications are performed. This helps with simplification pre-concretization
  • Added an IllegalOverflow error in case the system tries to allocate a large amount of memory during abstract gas execution but concrete running. In these cases, the interpreter can out-of-heap as the only check is that the size allocated is less than \(2**{64}\), but that is too large to fit in memory. Now, we check more stringently, and still return an IllegalOverflow
  • Fixed --root option for the test subcommand

Added

  • Optimized smt queries that significantly improve performance when dealing with solidity mappings and arrays
  • Support for using Bitwuzla as a solver
  • More efficient encoding for failure in ds-test style tests
  • Symbolic tests now support statically sized arrays as parameters
  • hevm test now has a num-solvers parameter that controls how many solver instances to spawn
  • New solc-specific simplification rules that should make the final Props a lot more readable
  • Prop is now correctly ordered, better BufLength and Max simplifications of Expr, and further solc-specific simplifications of Expr
  • Simplify earlier and don't check reachability for things statically determined to be FALSE
  • New concrete fuzzer that can be controlled via --num-cex-fuzz
  • Partial support for dynamic jumps when the jump destination can be computed given already available information
  • Added three forking cheatcodes: createFork, selectFork, and activeFork

Fixed

  • Traces now correctly perform source mapping to display contract details
  • Event traces now correctly display indexed arguments and argument names
  • JSON reading of foundry JSONs was dependent on locale and did not work with many locales.
  • CVC5 needs --incremental flag to work properly in abstraction-refinement mode

[0.52.0] - 2023-10-26

This is a major breaking release that removes several user facing features and includes non trivial breakage for library users. These changes mean the code is significantly simpler, more performant, and allow support for new features like fully symbolic addresses.

In addition to the changes below, this release includes significant work on performance optimization for symbolic execution.

Added

The major new user facing feature in this release is support for fully symbolic addresses (including fully symbolic addresses for deployed contracts). This allows tests to be writen that call vm.prank with a symbolic value, making some tests (e.g. access control, token transfer logic) much more comprehensive.

Some restrictions around reading balances from and transfering value between symbolic addresses are currently in place. Currently, if the address is symbolic, then you will only be able to read it's balance, or transfer value to/from it, if it is the address of a contract that is actually deployed. This is required to ensure soundness in the face of aliasing between symbolic addresses. We intend to lift this restriction in a future release.

Other

  • Support for vm.deal
  • Support for vm.assume (this is semantically identical to using require, but does simplify the process of porting exisitng fuzz tests to be symbolic)
  • the check prefix now recognized for symbolic tests
  • hevm test now takes a --number argument to specify which block should be used when making rpc queries

Changed

Revert Semantics in Solidity Tests

solidity tests no longer consider reverts to be a failure, and check only for the ds-test failed bit or user defined assertion failures (i.e. Panic(0x01)). This makes writing tests much easier as users no longer have to consider trivial reverts (e.g. arithmetic overflow).

A positive (i.e. prove/check) test with no rechable assertion violations that does not have any succesful branches will still be considered a failure.

Removed

hevm has been around for a while, and over time has accumulated many features. We decided to remove some of these features in the interest of focusing our attention, increasing our iteration speed and simplifying maintainance. The following user facing features have been removed from this release:

  • The visual debugger has been removed
  • All concrete ds-test executors have been removed (i.e. plain, fuzzer, invariant)
  • Rpc caching and state serialization has been removed (i.e. all --cache / --state flags)
  • The various DAPP_TEST variables are no longer observed
  • The --initial-storage flag no longer accepts a concrete prestore (valid values are now Empty or Abstract)

Fixed

This release also includes many small bugfixes:

  • CopySlice wraparound issue especially during CopyCallBytesToMemory
  • Contracts deployed during symbolic execution are created with an empty storage (instead of abstract in previous versions)
  • EVM.Solidity.toCode to include contractName in error string
  • Better cex reconstruction in cases where branches do not refer to all input variables in calldata
  • Correctly handle empty bytestring compiled contracts' JSON
  • No more false positives when keccak is called with inputs of different sizes
  • test now falls back to displaying an unecoded bytestring for calldata when the model returned by the solver has a different length the length of the arguments in the test signature.
  • we now generate correct counterexamples for branches where only a subset of input variables are referenced by the path conditions
  • vm.prank now works correctly when passed a symbolic address
  • vm.prank now works correctly when the next call transfers value
  • storage layout information will now be parsed from the output of forge build if it is available

API Changes

Reworked Storage Model / Symbolic Addresses

Adding symbolic addresses required some fairly significant changes to the way that we model storage. We introduced a new address type to Expr (Expr EAddr), that allows us to model fully symbolic addresses. Instead of modelling storage as a global symbolic 2D map (address -> word -> word) in vm.env, each contract now has it's own symbolic 1D map (word -> word), that is stored in the vm.contracts mapping. vm.contracts is now keyed on Expr EAddr instead of Addr. Addresses that are keys to the vm.contracts mapping are asserted to be distinct in our smt encoding. This allows us to support symbolic addresses in a fully static manner (i.e. we do not currently need to make any extra smt queries when looking up storage for a symbolic address).

Mutable Memory & ST

We now use a mutable representation of memory if it is currently completely concrete. This is a significant performance improvement, and fixed a particulary egregious memory leak. It does entail the use of the ST monad, and introduces a new type parameter to the VM type that tags a given instance with it's thread local state. Library users will now need to either use the ST moand and runST or stToIO to compose and sequence vm executions.

GHC 9.4

Hevm is now built with ghc9.4. While earlier compiler versions may continue to work for now, they are no longer explicitly tested or supported.

Other

  • Contract balances can now be fully symbolic
  • Contract code can now be fully abstract. Calls into contracts with unknown code will fail with UnexpectedSymbolicArg.
  • Run expression simplification on branch conditions
  • SLoad/SStore simplifications based on assumptions regarding Keccak non-collision&preimage
  • Improved Prop simplification
  • CopySlice+WriteWord+ConcreteBuf now truncates ConcreteBuf in special cases
  • Better simplification of Eq IR elements
  • Run a toplevel constant folding reasoning system on branch conditions
  • Global config via a monad, which should allow for more refactoring
  • evalProp is renamed to simplifyProp for consistency
  • Mem explosion in writeWord function was possible in case offset was close to 2^256. Fixed.
  • BufLength was not simplified via bufLength function. Fixed.
  • Add and Mul are associative, let's use that to make Expr more canonical
  • VMOpts no longer takes an initial store, and instead takes a baseState which can be either EmptyBase or AbstractBase. This controls whether storage should be inialized as empty or fully abstract. Regardless of this setting contracts that are deployed at runtime via a call to CREATE/CREATE2 have zero initialized storage.

  • various perf improvements for concrete execution (#157, #152)

[0.50.0] - 2022-12-19

Changed

The symbolic execution engine has been rewritten. We have removed our dependency on sbv, and now symbolic execution decompiles bytecode into a custom IR, and smt queries are constructed based on the structure of the term in this IR.

This gives us much deeper control over the encoding, and makes custom static analysis and simplification passes much easier to implement.

The symbolic execution engine is now parallel by default, and will distribute granular SMT queries across a pool of solvers, allowing analysis to be scaled out horizontally across many CPUs.

more details can be found in the architecuture docs.

0.40 - 2020-07-22

  • hevm is now capable of symbolic execution!

Changed

As a result, the types of several registers of the EVM have changed to admit symbolic values as well as concrete ones.

  • state.stack: Word -> SymWord.

  • state.memory: ByteString -> [SWord 8].

  • state.callvalue: W256 -> SymWord.

  • state.caller: Addr -> SAddr.

  • state.returndata: ByteString -> [SWord 8].

  • state.calldata: ByteString -> ([SWord 8], (SWord 32)). The first element is a list of symbolic bytes, the second is the length of calldata. We have fst calldata !! i .== 0 for all snd calldata < i.

  • tx.value: W256 -> SymWord.

  • contract.storage: Map Word Word -> Storage, defined as:

data Storage
  = Concrete (Map Word SymWord)
  | Symbolic (SArray (WordN 256) (WordN 256))
  deriving (Show)

Added

New cli commands:

  • hevm symbolic: search for assertion violations, or step through a symbolic execution in debug mode.
  • hevm equivalence: compare two programs for equivalence.

See the README for details on usage.

The new module EVM.SymExec exposes several library functions dealing with symbolic execution. In particular,

  • SymExec.interpret: implements an operational monad script similar to TTY.interpret and Stepper.interpret, but returns a list of final VM states rather than a single VM.
  • SymExec.verify: takes a prestate and a postcondition, symbolically executes the prestate and checks that all final states matches the postcondition.

Removed

The concrete versions of a lot of arithmetic operations, replaced with their more general symbolic counterpart.
