Fix remaining clang warnings for fallthrough switch cases (in debug build). (#10314)
https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3/pull/10284 changed the UNREACHABLE macro
in debug.h to use __builtin_unreachable() to indicate to the compiler
that the
code leading it should be considered unreachable.

In https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3/pull/10295 Copilot figured out that
this was wrong: the unreachable macro makes calls, which shouldn't be
elided, and whose arguments should be evaluated. It partially fixed the
problem by declaring invoke_exit_action to be `[[noreturn]]`. This
eliminated warnings in non-debug builds, but when Z3_DEBUG is enabled,
`UNREACHABLE` ends with an invocation of `INVOKE_DEBUGER()`. This can
call `invoke_debugger()`, which *can* actually return (so it can't be
given the `[[noreturn]]` attribute. So we still get warnings in debug
builds.

This PR fixes those, creating a Z3_unreachable_case macro, which is just
a combination of `UNREACHABLE()` and `Z3_fallthrough`. It uses that in
the places that give warnings.

It seemed better to me to still have these cases have a single macro,
rather than `UNREACHABLE` followed by an explicit `Z3_fallthrough`; this
seemed to me like it would confuse people -- "how can you fall through
if this code is unreachable?" But I'm open to alternative suggestions!

seq_monadic: self-contained monadic-decomposition regex membership solver (generic elements, witnesses, Boolean combinations) (#10296)
## Summary

Adds `seq_monadic` (`src/ast/rewriter/seq_monadic.{h,cpp}`), a
self-contained,
rewriter-level decision procedure for regex membership of a term that is
a
concatenation of sequence variables and constant elements — e.g. `x·a·x
∈ R`,
including repeated and multiple variables. It uses a whole-language
*monadic
decomposition* plus automaton product-reachability; it is minterm-free
and does
**not** use Nielsen word-equation splitting or `seq_split`.

The component is **purely additive**: it is not wired into any solver
path, so
default behavior is unchanged. It ships with a unit test and an opt-in
benchmark
harness that is inert unless `Z3_SEQ_BENCH_DIR` is set.

## What it does

- `x·u ∈ R  ⇔  ⋁_q ( x reaches q in A_R  ∧  u ∈ q )` over the derivative
  automaton; `reach(q)` is never materialized as a regex (avoids the
state-elimination blowup). A variable's constraint is decided by a lazy
product-reachability search over tuples of derivative states, with
transitions
= the product of `brz_derivative_cofactors` branches and
pairwise-conjoined
  `seq::range_predicate` guards.
- **Generic in the element sort**: characters use the exact
`range_predicate`
algebra; any other element sort uses a candidate-basis over the element
values
the guards mention (sound and complete for the
`{true,false,=,<=,and,or,not}`
  guard grammar the derivatives emit).
- **Concrete witnesses**: on sat it reconstructs a witness value (a
sequence of
concrete elements, not predicates) per variable from the accepting
product path.
- **Boolean combinations**: `solve_and` decides a conjunction of
memberships
jointly, so a variable shared across memberships is constrained
consistently.
This is the natural extension since `¬(t∈R) ≡ t∈~R`, `∨` = union of
DNFs, and
  `∧` = product of DNFs.

Also de-duplicates the char-guard → `range_predicate` translator into a
single
public `seq::guard_to_range_predicate` in `seq_range_collapse` (it was
previously
duplicated there and in `seq_monadic`).

## Testing

- `tst_seq_monadic`: single / multiple / repeated variables, nested
complement,
bounded loops, per-variable constraints, a generic `(Seq Int)` section,
witness
  verification (substitute the model back and re-decide membership), and
  `solve_and` cases that are individually sat but jointly unsat.
- Full unit suite `test-z3 /a` passes (93/93).

## Evaluation (offline harness, not part of CI)

On a regex-membership benchmark corpus, restricted to files carrying a
genuine
`(set-info :status)`, the solver decides 318 and 316 are correct
(99.4%); the
only 2 disagreements are a length limitation (`|x|=2k`) that is outside
the
membership fragment.

## Known limitations / follow-ups

- Pathological deeply-nested, high-multiplicity regexes can overflow the
recursive derivative stack; a recursion-depth guard to degrade to
`unknown` is
  a natural follow-up.
- Out-of-fragment constraints (word equations, length / Parikh) are not
handled,
  by design — this decides regex membership only.

Make implicit switch case fall-throughs explicit (#10284)
This is another PR towards the goal of getting Z3 to compile cleanly
when included via FetchContents into clang-tidy, which uses a pretty
strict set of warnings.

This PR enable the "-Wimplicit-fallthrough" warning, then fix all the
warnings this gets
in the clang build, by:
* Augmenting UNREACHABLE to add __builtin_unreachable(), which
suppresses
warnings for fallthrough in that cse.
* Adding Z3_fallthrough in many cases, to make it clear that
fallthroughs are intentional.
* Adding [[noreturn]] to functions that throw, so the compiler knows
they don't fall through to the next case.
* In a couple of cases, there's a fall-through to a default case, which
does "break", or "return nullptr". In those cases, I duplicated the
action in the preceding case, to make it more self-contained, and robust
in the face of change.

In some cases, I am concerned about whether the warnings are identifying
real bugs. For example, the fall-throughs in these files seem at least a
little suspect:
nnf.cpp
seq_rewriter.cpp
lar_solver.cpp 

while very probably correct, also seem at least a tiny bit suspect.
However, this PR does *not* attempt to change any behavior, only to
silence the warnings. It would be great if somebody with more knowledge
of the code could vet these cases. If vetted, the explicit presence of
the Z3_fallthrough would reassure future readers of the code that the
fall-through is intentional, not accidental.

1c89937473 term_enumeration: add tuple iterator over a vector of sorts
Expose enum_tuples(sorts) which produces an iterator over vectors of
terms, one term per input sort, dovetailing the per-sort streams so all
combinations are enumerated even when individual streams are infinite.

Each sort is enumerated by a self-contained sort_stream owning its own
grammar and bottom_up_enumerator seeded from the user productions, so
array sorts (with their fresh select ops and bound vars) do not collide
across sorts.

Fix set.size soundness: cardinality lower bound for concrete distinct members (#10246)
`set.size` reported `sat` for `(= 1 (set.size (set.union (set.singleton
1) (set.singleton 2))))` — a soundness bug, not just a performance gap.
The returned model did not satisfy the constraint.

## Root cause

In `theory_finite_set_size::run_solver()`, the cardinality sub-solver
enumerates propositional models of the membership structure and sums
fresh "slack" variables to represent `set.size`. All slacks were bounded
only by `>= 0`, so the arithmetic solver could freely assign `size = 1`
even when two distinct concrete members were independently asserted:

- **Model M₁** (`{1}` active, `{2}` inactive) — element 1 is a concrete
witness → slack must be `≥ 1`
- **Model M₂** (`{1}` inactive, `{2}` active) — element 2 is a concrete
witness → slack must be `≥ 1`

Without this enforcement: `slack₁ = 1, slack₂ = 0` satisfied `size = 1`.
With it: `size ≥ 2`.

## Changes

- **`src/smt/theory_finite_set_size.cpp`** — In `run_solver()`, after
retrieving the propositional model, check if exactly one singleton
equivalence class is active *and* a positive `set.in` assertion exists
for that element in an active set. If so, assert `slack >= 1` instead of
`>= 0`. This is sound: the concrete member witnesses the slot contains
at least one element.

- **`src/ast/rewriter/finite_set_axioms.cpp`** — Add the missing
monotonicity lower bounds for union:
  ```
  |A ∪ B| ≥ |A|    and    |A ∪ B| ≥ |B|
  ```
These complement the existing upper bound `|A ∪ B| ≤ |A| + |B|` and let
the arithmetic solver derive `|{1} ∪ {2}| ≥ 2` directly from the
singleton axiom `|{i}| = 1`.

## Verified cases

| Query | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| `(= 1 (set.size (set.union (set.singleton 1) (set.singleton 2))))` |
`sat`  | `unsat` ✓ |
| `(= 2 (set.size (set.union (set.singleton 1) (set.singleton 2))))` |
`sat` ✓ | `sat` ✓ |
| `set.in 1 s ∧ set.in 2 s ∧ (= 1 (set.size s))` | `sat`  | `unsat` ✓ |
| `¬(>= (set.size (set.union ...)) 2)` | `sat`  | `unsat` ✓ |

Fix elim-term-ite simplifier soundness: missing auxiliary variable constraints (#10244)
The `elim-term-ite` **simplifier** (via `set-simplifier` /
`addSimplifier`) was unsound: it reported `sat` with a spurious model on
trivially unsat inputs by replacing term-ITEs with fresh auxiliary
variables but never asserting their defining constraints, leaving them
unconstrained.

```smt2
(declare-const x Real)
(declare-const b Bool)
(set-simplifier elim-term-ite)
(assert (and (> x 10.0) (< x (ite b 1.0 2.0))))
(check-sat)
; was: sat (x=11 — spurious)
; now: unsat
```

## Changes

- **`src/ast/normal_forms/elim_term_ite.cpp` — `reduce_app`**: When
`defined_names::mk_name` returns `false` (name already cached for a
given ITE), the old code returned `BR_FAILED`, leaving the ITE
unreplaced in subsequent formulas. Now unconditionally sets `result =
new_r` and returns `BR_DONE`, mirroring the tactic version's behavior.

- **`src/ast/simplifiers/elim_term_ite.h` — `reduce()`**: After
rewriting each formula, the newly created definitions accumulated in
`m_rewriter.new_defs()` are now added to `m_fmls`. Previously these were
silently discarded, making auxiliary variables completely unconstrained.

euf_arith_plugin: implement uminus instead of NOT_IMPLEMENTED_YET (#10243)
`euf-completion` crashed with an assertion violation on any unary
negation of a nonlinear product (e.g. `(= (- (* a a)) a)`), because
`register_node` hit `NOT_IMPLEMENTED_YET()` in the `is_uminus` branch.

## Changes

- **`src/ast/euf/euf_arith_plugin.cpp`**: Replace
`NOT_IMPLEMENTED_YET()` with the natural rewrite `-x ↦ (-1) * x`,
consistent with how subtraction is already handled (`x - y ↦ x + (-1 *
y)`). Creates the `-1` numeral of the correct sort, builds the
multiplication enode, and merges via `push_merge`.

- **`src/test/euf_arith_plugin.cpp`**: Add `test4` exercising the exact
repro shape — negation of a nonlinear product merged with a variable.

```smt2
(declare-const a Real)
(set-simplifier euf-completion)
(assert (= (- (* a a)) a))
(check-sat)  ; previously: ASSERTION VIOLATION — now: sat

48f1676f2b Fix drain_backtrack to pop trail scopes and compile
The drain_backtrack destructor added in d247df72a called
m_backtrack.pop(), which does not exist on ptr_vector (breaking the
build) and, even as pop_back(), would only drop the work item without
popping the backtracking trail scope it owns - reintroducing the
trail-scope leak that #10196 fixed. Use backtrack(), which pops the trail
scope for in_scope items and then removes the item.

c9d3dc959d Fix trail-scope leak in ho_matcher on early exit (#10196)
The higher-order matcher shares the solver's trail stack. On early-exit
paths (resource/rlimit reached via m.inc(), or search budget exhausted)
work items were left on m_backtrack with their pushed scopes never popped,
leaking a trail scope. This desynchronized the trail scope count from the
solver scope level and later tripped SASSERT(ilvl <= m_scope_lvl) /
unsound backtracking in smt::context::reinit_clauses.

Restore the trail before exit on every path using an RAII guard
(scoped_trail_level) and drain the backtrack stack after the main search
loop so m_backtrack is left empty for the next call. This avoids wrapping
large blocks in try/catch (which would mask underlying bugs such as
creating non-well-sorted expressions) while still guaranteeing the trail
is restored on both normal and exceptional exits. The sort-mismatch check
and UNREACHABLE() in refine_ho_match are preserved so ill-sorted terms
remain surfaced rather than silently discarded.

Use macros to disable semi-colon warnings for blocks of macros. (#10192)
This is another PR towards the goal of getting Z3 to compile cleanly

strict set of warnings.

This PR completes the job started by
https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3/pull/10169. It adds `-Wextra-semi` to the
set of CLANG_ONLY_WARNINGS, and adds
```
START_DISABLE_EXTRA_SEMI_WARNING;
...macro invocations with trailing semis...
END_DISABLE_WARNING;
```
around all the blocks of macro invocations that provoked warnings.

(Additionally, in realclosure.h, there was one block of macro
invocations that did *not* follow the trailing-semi pattern; changed
that to look like all the others).

Fix invalid model from int_to_bv missing modular reduction in bv2int_translator (#10185)
With `smt.bv.solver=2`, `int_to_bv(x)` was translated to the raw integer
`x` without normalizing it to `[0, 2^N)`. Bitwise operations like
`bvxor(A, B)` are translated as `A + B - 2·band(A, B)`, which is only
valid when both operands are in `[0, 2^N)`. When `x` was negative or ≥
2^N, the LP solver could assign a band value inconsistent with bit
semantics, producing a model that fails validation.

## Changes

- **`OP_INT2BV` translation** (`translate_bv`): Apply `umod(e, 0)`
instead of passing the raw integer argument through. This normalizes the
value to `[0, 2^N)` before it participates in any bitwise arithmetic.

  ```cpp
  // Before
  case OP_INT2BV:
      r = arg(0);  // raw integer, may be negative or ≥ 2^N

  // After
  case OP_INT2BV:
      r = umod(e, 0);  // normalized to [0, 2^N)
  ```

- **`amod` shortcut**: Add a fast-path for `mod(t, N)` when the divisor
already equals `N` — the result is already in `[0, N)`, so wrapping it
again with another `mod(_, N)` is unnecessary and avoids expression
bloat.

Fix nested symbolic re.range under re.++ ignoring solver timeout (#10181)
Symbolic `re.range` nested under `re.++` caused Z3 to loop indefinitely,
ignoring timeouts. Direct symbolic range membership was fixed
previously, but the nested case reaches a different code path — the
Brzozowski derivative engine in `derive_range`.

## Root cause

`derive_range` in `seq_derive.cpp` only handled concrete unit-string
bounds. For symbolic bounds it returned a stuck `re.derivative(ele,
re.range(lo, hi))` term. When nested under concatenation, this stuck
term cycled infinitely:

1. `is_nullable` of the stuck term → `is_nullable_symbolic_regex` →
emits `re.in_re("", re.derivative(...))`
2. That `in_re` triggers `propagate_in_re` → new `accept` predicate
3. New `accept` computes another derivative → another stuck term →
repeat

## Fix

Replace the stuck fallback with a proper symbolic ITE. By SMT-LIB
semantics, `re.range(lo, hi)` accepts character `c` iff both bounds are
single-character strings and `lo[0] ≤ c ≤ hi[0]`. The derivative with
respect to `ele` becomes:

```
ite(len(lo)=1 ∧ len(hi)=1 ∧ lo[0] ≤ ele ∧ ele ≤ hi[0], ε, ∅)
```

Length conditions are omitted for bounds already known to be concrete
single-character strings.

```smt2
(set-logic ALL)
(declare-const s String)
(assert (str.in_re "a" (re.++ re.all (re.range s "c"))))
(check-sat)
; Previously hung indefinitely; now returns sat in ~10ms
```

## Changes

- **`src/ast/rewriter/seq_derive.cpp`** — `derive_range`: replace stuck
`re.derivative` fallback with symbolic ITE using `str.nth_i` and length
guards for non-concrete bounds
- **`src/test/seq_rewriter.cpp`** — add solver-level regression test
(case 21) for nested symbolic `re.range` under `re.++`

Test PR for disabling semicolon warnings (#10169)
This is another PR towards the goal of getting Z3 to compile cleanly
when included via FetchContents into clang-tidy, which uses a pretty
strict set of warnings.

https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3/pull/10020 deleted a number of
unnecessary (and, by a strict interpretation, illegal) semicolons. These
were detected by adding -Wextra-semi to CLANG_ONLY_WARNINGS during
testing. The PR did not eliminate all such unnecessary/illegal
semi-colons; Nikolaj Bjorner argued that some IDEs would be confused by
doing so for macro invocations, which otherwise look like function
calls. So it left those, and did not include adding -Wextra-semi to
CLANG_ONLY_WARNINGS in the PR.

I'm worried that not having -Wextra-semi will allow instances of the
semis we'd like to eliminate to creep back in. This PR introduces a
mechanism to disable the warnings for regions with such macro
invocations, and uses that mechanism for one file. If accepted, a
subsequent PR would use this mechanism in all the remaining places, so
that there is a clean clang build with -Wextra-semi.

I verified that:
* It compiles cleanly for if the enable/disable macros have null
definitions, as they would for non-clang compilations.
* It compiles cleanly for a clang build without -Wextra-semis.
* It compiles successfully, albeit with *many* warnings, for a clang
build with-Wextra-semis -- but none of those errors are for the regions
in ast.h where the warning is disabled.

Sequence AST-creating arguments in rewriters for cross-compiler determinism (#10165)
### Problem

The order of evaluation of function arguments is unspecified in C++
(arguments are indeterminately sequenced since C++17). Compilers use
this freedom differently:

```c++
static int f(int i) { printf("%d ", i); return i; }
static void g(int, int, int) { printf("\n"); }
int main() { g(f(1), f(2), f(3)); }
```
| compiler/target | output |
|---|---|
| gcc 13, x86_64 | `3 2 1` |
| gcc 13, aarch64 | `1 2 3` |
| clang 18, x86_64 | `1 2 3` |

Z3 has many call sites where **two or more arguments each create AST
nodes**, e.g. (before this PR, `bv_rewriter.cpp:876`):

```c++
result = m.mk_ite(c, m_mk_extract(high, low, t), m_mk_extract(high, low, e));
```

The two extract nodes are hash-consed and receive their AST ids in
evaluation order, so the id assignment differs between
compilers/targets. AST ids feed heuristic tie-breaking throughout the
solver (`bool_rewriter`'s `m_order_eq` equality-operand ordering,
id-based sorts in `array_rewriter`, case-split ordering, ...), so
**byte-identical input takes different solver paths depending on the
compiler and architecture z3 was built with**.

### Evidence

Investigated while chasing cross-platform proof-time instability in
CBMC/mldsa-native CI (diffblue/cbmc#8991), on byte-identical ~12 MB SMT2
instances (bit-vectors + arrays + quantifiers), with the `string_hash`
fix from #10163 applied to isolate this effect. Z3 4.15.3, gcc 13 on
x86_64 Linux and aarch64 Linux (Graviton):

* one instance: **17 s on x86_64 vs 1633 s on aarch64** (both `unsat`; a
sibling instance shows the reverse direction). Run-to-run within one
host: ±1 %.
* Instrumenting `ast_manager::register_node_core` with an order
fingerprint (running hash over `(node hash, node id)`) shows both
architectures construct **identical AST sequences up to registration
#41,789**, where x86_64 creates `(extract[0:0] #xFFFFFFFF)` before
`(extract[0:0] #xFFFFFFFE)` and aarch64 the other way around — from
identical call stacks at the `mk_ite`-over-two-`mk_extract` site quoted
above. All divergence between the two hosts flows from such events
(pointer/ASLR effects experimentally excluded: fingerprints are
invariant under `setarch -R` and across repeated runs).
* Sequencing that one site by hand moved the first divergence to
#248,118 — the analogous `mk_ite(c, mk_select(...), mk_select(...))`
site in `array_rewriter.cpp`. Sequencing that one, too, moved it to
#248,411, inside `nnf:👿:process_iff_xor` — i.e. the next layer of
the same onion.
* With the whole `ast/rewriter` layer swept (this PR), the instrumented
builds produce **identical AST construction traces on both architectures
throughout the entire rewriter phase** of this 546k-line industrial
instance; the first divergence left is the NNF one.

### Fix

and the existing comments in `seq_rewriter.cpp` ("introduce temporaries
to ensure deterministic evaluation order..."), this PR hoists
AST-creating arguments into named temporaries with a defined evaluation
order, across `src/ast/rewriter/` — 126 call sites in 17 files. The
transformation is purely sequencing: it selects one of the two valid C++
evaluation orders and makes it the same everywhere. (Temporaries are raw
pointers in rewriter-local scope, matching the precedent commits;
nothing can trigger GC between creation and consumption.)

The sites were found with a small AST-argument scanner (statement-level
call sites whose argument list contains ≥ 2 top-level arguments that
each contain an AST-creating call); I am happy to share/contribute the
script. Known remaining work, deliberately out of scope here to keep the
diff reviewable:

* 41 sites in `src/ast/rewriter/` that need manual treatment (inside
`if` conditions, ternaries, or multi-statement expressions) — list
available on request;
* `src/ast/normal_forms/nnf.cpp` (`process_iff_xor`, proven divergent by
the trace above), ~7 sites in `src/ast/simplifiers/`, ~3 in
`src/ast/converters/`, ~9 in `src/ast/`;
* other theory/solver layers (`src/smt/`, `src/sat/`, ...) — divergences
there only matter after search starts, where paths have usually already
split, but a full sweep would be needed for bit-reproducibility across
compilers.

Together with #10163, this is a step towards z3 builds whose behaviour
does not depend on the compiler or target architecture — which matters
for verification CI that runs identical proofs on heterogeneous
platforms and expects comparable runtimes.

[snapshot-regression-fix] fpa: fp.to_bv of large-exponent values should be unspecified, not unknown (#10174)
## Summary

Fixes a completeness regression where a **satisfiable** floating-point
problem is answered `unknown`.

- **Originating discussion:**
https://github.com/Z3Prover/bench/discussions/3232
- **Benchmark:** `iss-3199/bug-1.smt2` (from
https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3/issues/3199)

### Divergence

```diff
--- bug-1.expected.out (expected)
+++ produced (current z3)
@@ -1 +1 @@
-sat
+unknown
```

The benchmark:

```smt2
(declare-fun x () (_ FloatingPoint 40 60))
(declare-fun y () (_ BitVec 8))
(assert (= ((_ fp.to_ubv 8) RTP x) y #x00))
(check-sat)
```

`(get-info :reason-unknown)` reports `"exponents over 31 bits are not
supported"`.

### Root cause

The problem is clearly `sat` (e.g. `x = 0.0`, `y = #x00`; and for any
out-of-range `x`, `fp.to_ubv` is unspecified so `= #x00` is
satisfiable). z3 bit-blasts and finds a model that assigns `x` a value
with a very large binary exponent (the `FloatingPoint 40 60` sort has a
40-bit exponent field). During model reconstruction,
`fpa_util::is_considered_uninterpreted` performs a range check by
calling `mpf_manager::to_sbv_mpq`, which **throws** `"exponents over 31
bits are not supported"` when the unpacked exponent does not fit into an
`int` (guard added in `eacde16b` for #3199). The tactic framework
catches that exception and turns the whole result into `unknown`,
instead of treating the conversion as out-of-range/unspecified.

### Fix

A finite FP value whose (unbiased) binary exponent is at least the
target bitwidth `bv_sz` has magnitude `>= 2^bv_sz` and therefore cannot
fit into a `bv_sz`-bit signed or unsigned integer — the conversion is
unspecified. Short-circuit this case using the exponent, before reaching
`to_sbv_mpq`, in the two range-check paths:

- `src/ast/fpa_decl_plugin.cpp`
(`fpa_util::is_considered_uninterpreted`) — return `true` (considered
uninterpreted / out of range).
- `src/ast/rewriter/fpa_rewriter.cpp` (`fpa_rewriter::mk_to_bv`) —
return the unspecified result.

This is consistent with the existing precise logic for every exponent it
covers (those values are already classified out-of-range), and it avoids
materializing an astronomically large integer. It does not affect
in-range or boundary conversions.

### Validation

Built z3 from this checkout (Python/`make` build) and re-ran the
benchmark:

- `z3 -T:20 inputs/issues/iss-3199/bug-1.smt2` now prints `sat`,
matching the recorded `bug-1.expected.out` oracle.

Additional manual sanity checks (all correct, no regression):

- `fp.to_ubv 8` of `5.0` -> `#x05`
- `fp.to_sbv 8` of `-5.0` -> `#xfb` (-5)
- `fp.to_sbv 8` of `128.0` -> unspecified (`sat`, out of range)
- `fp.to_sbv 8` of `-128.0` -> `#x80` (-128, in-range boundary
preserved)

Opened as a **draft** for human review.

[fixer-selftest] Fix typo in euf_ac_plugin.cpp comment: "betwen" → "between" (#10141)
## Automated workflow self-test

This PR is an **automated workflow self-test** of the `fixer-selftest` /
`snapshot-regression-fixer` pipeline running on the self-hosted
`rise-runner-1` pool. Its purpose is to verify that Copilot inference
runs and that the `create-pull-request` safe output can open a real
**draft** pull request on `Z3Prover/z3`.

### The fix

- **File:** `src/ast/euf/euf_ac_plugin.cpp` (line 995)
- **Before:** `// add difference betwen dst.l and src.l to both src.l,
src.r`
- **After:** `// add difference between dst.l and src.l to both src.l,
src.r`

A single spelling mistake (`betwen` → `between`) in a `//` code comment.

### Why no rebuild is needed

The change is **comment-only** — no code, string literals, identifiers,
or build files were touched — so it cannot affect z3's behaviour and
requires no compilation or testing.

### For maintainers

This is a genuine, correct fix, so feel free to **merge** it. Equally,
you may simply **close** it — the success of the self-test does not
depend on this PR being merged.

Fix non-termination in mod rewriter for symbolic modulus (#10105)
Combining `mod0`/`div0` quantifier axioms with a mod-idempotency
quantifier caused Z3 to loop forever. The core issue was that
`mk_mod_core` in `arith_rewriter.cpp` only handled rewrite rules for
*numeral* moduli, leaving two gaps for symbolic `y`:

1. `mod(a + k*y, y)` was not reduced to `mod(a, y)`, so `(not (= (mod (+
a b) b) (mod a b)))` stayed unreduced and caused the nlsat solver to
spin.
2. The E-matching pattern `(mod (mod x y) y)` fired on every new term it
produced, creating an unbounded chain of nested `mod` expressions.

```lisp
; Previously non-terminating, now returns unsat immediately
(assert (forall ((x Int)) (! (= (mod0 x 0) 0) :pattern ((mod0 x 0)))))
(assert (forall ((x Int)) (! (= (div0 x 0) 0) :pattern ((div0 x 0)))))
(assert (forall ((x Int) (y Int))
  (! (= (mod (mod x y) y) (mod x y)) :pattern ((mod (mod x y) y)))))
(assert (not (= (mod (+ a b) b) (mod a b))))
(check-sat)
```

## Changes

- **`src/ast/rewriter/arith_rewriter.cpp` — symbolic summand
elimination**: In `mk_mod_core`, when the modulus is a non-numeral
integer and the dividend is an `add`, strip any summand equal to the
modulus or an integer multiple of it. Soundness: `k*0 = 0` for all `k`,
so the rule holds even at `y = 0`. This immediately collapses the
reported formula to `false`.

- **`src/ast/rewriter/arith_rewriter.cpp` — symbolic idempotency via
ite**: Extend the existing `mod(mod(x,y), y) → mod(x,y)` rule
(previously numeral-only) to symbolic `y` by rewriting to `ite(y=0,
mod(mod(x,0),0), mod(x,y))`. The `y=0` branch uses a numeral divisor,
which is excluded by the `!v2.is_zero()` guard, halting the E-matching
chain.

- **`src/test/arith_rewriter.cpp`**: Regression tests for `mod(a+y, y) =
mod(a,y)`, `mod(a+2y, y) = mod(a,y)`, and `mod(mod(a,3),3) = mod(a,3)`.

Fix assertion violation in bv2int_translator with smt.bv.solver=2 (#10109)
`ASSERTION VIOLATION` at `bv2int_translator.h:72` when using
`smt.bv.solver=2` with formulas containing `abs` (or other arith
expressions that rewrite to ITE with arith predicates).

**Root cause**

`ensure_translated` skips adding sub-expressions of boolean non-BV nodes
to the `todo` list — correct, since the base theory owns them in plugin
mode. However, `translate_expr`'s early-return only covered
`basic_family_id` booleans, not non-basic ones (e.g.,
`arith_family_id`).

When `(abs f)` is rewritten by the arith rewriter to `(ite (>= f 0) f (-
f))`, the predicate `(>= f 0)` ends up in `todo` (as a child of the
ITE), but its own children (e.g., the integer literal `0`) are not
added. `translate_expr` then calls `translated(0)` on an unmapped
expression, firing `SASSERT(r)`.

Reproducer:
```smt2
(declare-const f Int)
(assert (= 0 (mod 0 (bv2nat ((_ int_to_bv 1) (abs f))))))
(check-sat)
; z3 test.smt2 smt.bv.solver=2  →  ASSERTION VIOLATION (before fix)
```

**Fix**

Extend the early-return in `translate_expr` to match
`ensure_translated`'s skip condition — all boolean non-BV expressions in
plugin mode map to themselves:

```cpp
// before
if (m_is_plugin && ap->get_family_id() == basic_family_id && m.is_bool(ap)) {

// after
if (m_is_plugin && m.is_bool(ap) && ap->get_family_id() != bv.get_family_id()) {
```

BV boolean predicates (`bvule`, etc.) are unaffected — they still route
through `translate_bv`.

fix: declare type variables before use in solver display output (#10103)
`decl_collector::visit_sort` did not collect sorts with `poly_family_id`
(type variables created via `mk_type_var` / `declare-type-var`), so
`solver::display` and `ast_pp_util::display_decls` never emitted type
variable declarations before referencing them — producing invalid
SMT-LIB2 output.

## Changes

- **`src/ast/decl_collector.h`**: added a dedicated `lim_svector<sort*>
m_type_vars` field (separate from `m_sorts`) with a `get_type_vars()`
getter; `reset()` clears it; `push()`/`pop()` maintain its scope.

- **`src/ast/decl_collector.cpp` — `visit_sort`**: sorts with
`poly_family_id` are now pushed to `m_type_vars` instead of `m_sorts`,
keeping type variables distinct from uninterpreted sorts:

```cpp
if (m.is_uninterp(n))
    m_sorts.push_back(n);
else if (fid == poly_family_id)
    m_type_vars.push_back(n);
```

- **`src/ast/ast_pp_util.h`**: added a `stacked_value<unsigned>
m_type_vars` cursor to track which type variables have already been
printed.

- **`src/ast/ast_pp_util.cpp` — `display_decls`**: emits
`(declare-type-var <name>)` for each collected type variable before
other sort declarations; `reset()`/`push()`/`pop()` maintain the new
cursor.

**Example** — given `(declare-type-var A)(declare-fun f (A) A)`, the
dump now correctly produces:

```smt2
(declare-type-var A)
(declare-fun f (A) A)
(assert ...)
```

The output round-trips cleanly through the Z3 parser.

Fix debug-only well-sorted traversal freeing temporary assertions (#10067)
The Ubuntu `python make - MT` job was failing in unit tests because the
debug-time well-sorted check could invalidate freshly constructed
assertion expressions during solver entry. This surfaced as crashes in
`theory_dl` and `seq_rewriter`, not as logic bugs in those tests.

- **Root cause**
- `is_well_sorted` traversed the input through a temporary
`expr_ref`/`subterms` wrapper.
- For freshly built assertions passed directly into `assert_expr`, that
temporary ownership could drop the last refcount during validation and
free the AST before the solver used it.

- **Change**
- Reworked the traversal in `src/ast/well_sorted.cpp` to walk raw
`expr*` nodes explicitly.
- The checker now validates subterms without taking transient ownership
of the asserted expression.

- **Effect**
  - Debug validation remains intact.
- Temporary formulas survive the well-sorted check, so assertion-time
validation no longer corrupts the caller’s AST.

- **Representative change**
  ```cpp
  ptr_vector<expr> todo;
  expr_mark visited;
  todo.push_back(e);
  while (!todo.empty()) {
      expr* term = todo.back();
      todo.pop_back();
      if (visited.is_marked(term))
          continue;
      visited.mark(term, true);
      if (is_app(term)) {
          for (expr* arg : *to_app(term))
              if (!visited.is_marked(arg))
                  todo.push_back(arg);
          check_app(to_app(term));
      }
      else if (is_var(term)) {
          check_var(to_var(term));
      }
      else if (is_quantifier(term)) {
          check_quantifier(to_quantifier(term));
      }
  }
  ```

[snapshot-regression-fix] Fix elim_uncnstr disabled by manager-wide has_type_vars() flag (iss-6260/small-2) (#10063)
## Summary

Fixes a completeness regression where `elim_uncnstr` was silently
disabled for ordinary (non-polymorphic) goals, detected by the
`snapshot-regression` corpus.

- **Originating discussion:**
https://github.com/Z3Prover/bench/discussions/3054
- **Benchmark:** `iss-6260/small-2.smt2` (corpus `Z3Prover/bench`,
`inputs/issues/iss-6260/`)
- **Divergence:** recorded oracle `sat` → current z3 produces `unknown`

### Divergence diff

```diff
--- small-2.expected.out (expected)
+++ produced (current z3)
@@ -1,3 +1,3 @@
-sat
+unknown
 (error "line 17 column 0: unexpected character")
 (error "line 17 column 1: unexpected character")
```

(The `(error ...)` lines are expected: the benchmark contains a stray
```` ``` ```` fence on line 17. Only the `sat` → `unknown` change is the
regression.)

## Root cause

`git bisect` over the regression window pins the flip to commit
`208cc5686` ("fix build"), which added `|| m().has_type_vars()` to the
`elim_uncnstr_tactic` guard and an equivalent `if (m.has_type_vars())
return;` to the `elim_unconstrained` simplifier.

`ast_manager::has_type_vars()` is a **manager-wide, sticky** flag: it is
set to `true` as soon as *any* type variable is created, and is never
reset. In particular `finite_set_decl_plugin::init()` creates type
variables `A`/`B` to define its polymorphic signatures. Those type
variables never occur in the user's assertions, but once the finite_set
plugin is initialized — which happens while processing this benchmark —
the flag is globally `true` (confirmed by instrumenting `mk_type_var`:
the only type vars created for this benchmark are the finite_set
signature vars `A` and `B`).

As a result `elim_uncnstr` bails out for goals that contain **no**
polymorphic terms at all, i.e. it is effectively disabled. Unconstrained
subterms that used to be eliminated now reach the theory solvers.

For this benchmark the (single) assertion is `(not (xor (>= x 0) (>= x1
0) (>= x 0) x4 (str.contains ...)))`. The duplicated `(>= x 0)` cancels
(`a xor a = false`), and the free Boolean `x4` can fix the parity
regardless of the value of the `str.contains` term, so the goal is
trivially `sat`. That `str.contains`/`str.replace_re` subterm is
unconstrained and was previously removed by `elim_uncnstr`; without that
elimination it reaches `theory_seq`, which marks `str.replace_re` as
unhandled and gives up in `final_check` → `unknown` (`incomplete (theory
seq)`).

## Fix

Make the guard precise. Keep `has_type_vars()` as a cheap pre-filter
(matching existing usage in `ast_translation.cpp` and
`ast_manager::has_type_var`), but only bail out when the goal / asserted
formulas **actually** contain type-variable typed terms, using the
existing `polymorphism::util::has_type_vars(expr*)`.

This preserves the polymorphism crash-protection (goals with genuine
type-variable terms still skip `elim_uncnstr`) while restoring
`elim_uncnstr` for the vast majority of goals that merely triggered a
polymorphic-plugin initialization. Both twin guards (the `elim_uncnstr`
tactic and the `elim_unconstrained` simplifier) are fixed consistently.

## Validation

Built this checkout and re-ran the benchmark (step 5 of the fixer
workflow):

- `./configure && make -C build -j$(nproc)` — Z3 version 4.17.0.
- Unpatched master reproduced the divergence: `z3 -T:20
iss-6260/small-2.smt2` → `unknown`.
- After the fix, `z3 -T:20 inputs/issues/iss-6260/small-2.smt2` produces
**exactly** the recorded oracle:

```
sat
(error "line 17 column 0: unexpected character")
(error "line 17 column 1: unexpected character")
(error "line 17 column 2: unexpected character")
```

- Regression sanity checks: sibling `iss-6260/small.smt2` unchanged
(`sat`); plain arithmetic unconstrained goals unchanged; polymorphic
goals with genuine type-variable terms (including `declare-type-var` and
forcing `(check-sat-using (then elim-uncnstr smt))`) still solve without
crashing — the guard still fires for those.

Opened as a **draft** for human review.

ca6d6e3977 pattern_inference: use auto for structured binding; drop debug well_sorted asserts in rewriter
Fixes a build error (C3694) from an illegal specifier in the structured
binding at pattern_inference.cpp:127, and removes the temporary
is_well_sorted SASSERTs (and well_sorted.h include) from rewriter_def.h
that were used during pattern-inference diagnosis.

6c8a5cd853 fix HO-matcher imitation curry-order and instance-assembly ordering bugs
The higher-order matcher produced ill-typed instantiations that aborted
the solve (sort-mismatch / unbound-variable exceptions), making
smt.ho_matching=true net-negative on the TPTP THF benchmarks.

Two root causes:

1. Imitation rule (ho_matcher.cpp): the select chain 'pats' is collected
   outermost-first, i.e. in reverse application order. The imitating
   lambda must curry arguments in application order (first-applied select
   binds the outermost lambda). Reversing 'pats' before building the
   domain/argument/body vectors and the lambda-wrapping loop makes the
   constructed lambda's sort agree with the flex head variable. Fixes
   unit-test ho_matcher test6c/test6d (previously asserted at
   add_binding: v->get_sort() == t->get_sort()).

2. Instance assembly (smt_quantifier.cpp on_ho_match): the fixpoint
   binding substitution used var_subst with the default std_order=true
   while the binding vector is directly indexed (binding[k] = value for
   var k). This resolved chained HO variable references against the wrong
   slots and built ill-sorted terms (assertion at rewriter_def.h:52).
   Use direct (std_order=false) substitution to match the binding layout.

Also adds defensive guards as belt-and-suspenders: subst_sorts_match
skips sort-inconsistent substitutions, an is_ground check skips bindings
with leftover de Bruijn variables, and on_ho_match catches z3_exception
to skip an unusable heuristic instance rather than aborting the solve
(re-raising only on cancellation/resource-limit).

[snapshot-regression-fix] seq_rewriter: re.range with a provably-empty bound must be the empty language (#10047)
## Summary

Fixes a Z3 output regression detected by the `Z3Prover/bench`
snapshot-regression corpus.

- **Originating discussion:**
https://github.com/Z3Prover/bench/discussions/3050
- **Benchmark:** `iss-5134/small.smt2`
(`inputs/issues/iss-5134/small.smt2` in `Z3Prover/bench`)
- **Kind:** `diff` — recorded oracle vs. current nightly z3
(`z3-4.17.0-x64-glibc-2.39`)

## Divergence

The benchmark constrains a string `a` using a regex that contains
`(re.range "" <ite>)`:

```smt2
(declare-fun a () String)
(assert (str.in_re a (re.* (re.union (str.to_re "b") (str.to_re (ite
 (str.in_re a (re.* (re.range "" (ite (str.in_re a (str.to_re "")) ""
 a)))) "" "a"))))))
(assert (not (str.in_re a (re.* (str.to_re "")))))
(check-sat)
(get-model)
```

Recorded oracle (**expected**) vs. current z3 (**current**):

```diff
-sat
-(
-  (define-fun a () String
-    "a")
-)
+unknown
+(error "line 7 column 10: model is not available")
```

## Root cause

Per SMT-LIB, `re.range` over an argument that is **not a single
character** denotes the empty language, so `(re.range "" X)` is
`re.none` regardless of `X` (the lower bound `""` is the empty string).

Before the *"Derive with ranges"* refactor (#9963 / #9965),
`seq_rewriter::mk_re_range` recognised this through several emptiness
checks, including a concrete non-single-character test and a `max_length
== 0` test:

```cpp
if (str().is_string(lo, slo) && slo.length() != 1) is_empty = true;
if (max_length(lo) == std::make_pair(true, rational(0))) is_empty = true;
if (max_length(hi) == std::make_pair(true, rational(0))) is_empty = true;
```

The refactor rewrote `mk_re_range` and kept only the `min_length(..) >
1` emptiness test (a bound provably **≥ 2** characters). That misses a
bound of length **exactly 0**: an empty-string bound has `min_length ==
0`, so it is no longer detected as empty, and `mk_re_range` returns
`BR_FAILED`, leaving `(re.range "" X)` symbolic. The new range-aware
derivative engine (`seq_derive.cpp`) then produces a *stuck* derivative
for such a range (its `is_unit_string("")` test fails), so the sequence
theory can no longer decide membership and the solver answers `unknown`
/ "model is not available".

## Fix

Restore the sound emptiness check the refactor dropped — a bound whose
`max_length` is provably `0` can never be a single character, so the
range is empty:

```cpp
// A bound that is provably of length 0 (e.g. the empty string "") can
// likewise never be a single character, so the range is empty.  Unlike a
// symbolic bound, max_length == 0 is a provable emptiness fact, so this is
// sound (it is never true for a model-dependent bound such as a variable).
if (max_length(lo) == std::make_pair(true, rational(0)))
    is_empty = true;
if (max_length(hi) == std::make_pair(true, rational(0)))
    is_empty = true;
```

This does **not** reintroduce the unsoundness the refactor guarded
against: `max_length == (true, 0)` is a *provable* emptiness fact and is
never true for a model-dependent (symbolic) bound, so `(re.range x x)`
is still correctly left symbolic (it denotes `{x}` whenever `x` is a
single character).

## Validation

Built the patched `./z3` checkout (`./configure && make -C build`) and
re-ran the benchmark with the option the snapshot capture uses
(`-T:20`):

- **Before the fix:** `z3 -T:20 small.smt2` → `unknown` + `(error "...
model is not available")` — reproduces the divergence.
- **After the fix:** `z3 -T:20 small.smt2` → `sat` + `(define-fun a ()
String "a")` — **exactly matches** the recorded oracle.

Additional checks with the rebuilt binary:
- Sibling benchmarks `iss-5134/bug.smt2` and `iss-5134/small-2.smt2`
still match their oracles.
- Symbolic bound not over-collapsed: `(str.in_re "a" (re.range x x))` →
`sat` (x = "a").
- `(re.range "" "a")` is the empty language: `(str.in_re "a" (re.range
"" "a"))` and `(str.in_re "" (re.range "" "a"))` → `unsat`.
- Ordinary ranges unaffected: `"b" ∈ (re.range "a" "c")` sat, `"d" ∈
(re.range "a" "c")` unsat, `(re.range "a" "a")` singleton.

348bb3b6a4 Fix memory leaks in polymorphism instantiation engine
The polymorphism theory routed polymorphic (\) problems through
theory_polymorphism, which instantiated axioms during search. Two leaks:

1. In inst::instantiate, insert_ref_map was constructed with an expr_ref
   argument, so its template parameter D deduced to expr_ref instead of
   expr*. Trail objects are region-allocated and freed without running
   destructors, so the embedded expr_ref never released its reference,
   leaking one AST subtree per instantiation. Pass e_inst.get() so D is
   expr*, matching the raw hashtable + manual inc_ref/dec_ref pattern.

2. trail_stack's destructor does not call reset(), so level-0 trail items
   (including the inc_ref balancing entries for m_from_instantiation) were
   never undone when the theory was destroyed. Added a ~theory_polymorphism
   destructor that calls m_trail.reset().

Also keeps a defensive alias check in util::unify and a fresh per-iteration
substitution in inst::instantiate.

6d5e09e2fa polymorphism: prevent cyclic substitutions in unify to fix stack overflow
When merging two type substitutions, util::unify(substitution, substitution,
substitution) inserted bindings without an occurs-check. Merging maps such as
A |-> list(B) and B |-> list(A) produced a self-referential binding
B |-> list(list(B)), and applying that substitution recursed forever, causing
a stack overflow during the first polymorphic instantiation round.

This was exposed by encoding TPTP $tType quantification as polymorphism
(8ee8a3cda): mutually-recursive polymorphic types in THF problems (e.g.
COM/DAT/ITP Coq-derived files) triggered 60 stack-overflow crashes during
check_sat.

Add occurs-checks so a binding that would make the substitution cyclic causes
the merge to fail (the instantiation is soundly skipped). Values are resolved
against the current substitution before insertion, preserving the acyclic
invariant.

Verified: the 60 previously-crashing TPTP files now terminate cleanly;
92/92 unit tests pass.
