SBVPlugin: SBV Plugin for GHC

Example

{-# OPTIONS_GHC -fplugin=Data.SBV.Plugin #-}

module Test where

import Data.SBV.Plugin

{-# ANN test theorem #-}
test :: Integer -> Integer -> Bool
test x y = x + y >= x - y

Note the GHC option on the very first line. Either decorate your file with this option, or pass -fplugin=Data.SBV.Plugin as an argument to GHC, either on the command line or via cabal. Same trick also works for GHCi.

When compiled or loaded in to ghci, we get:

$ ghc -c Test.hs

[SBV] Test.hs:9:1-4 Proving "test", using Z3.
[Z3] Falsifiable. Counter-example:
  x =  0 :: Integer
  y = -1 :: Integer
[SBV] Failed. (Use option 'IgnoreFailure' to continue.)

Note that the compilation will be aborted, since the theorem doesn't hold. As shown in the hint, GHC can be instructed to continue in that case, using an annotation of the form:

{-# ANN test theorem {options = [IgnoreFailure]} #-}

Using SBVPlugin from GHCi

The plugin should work from GHCi with no changes. Note that when run from GHCi, the plugin will behave as if the IgnoreFailure argument is given on all annotations, so that failures do not stop the load process.
