# Z3
|
|
|
|
Z3 is a theorem prover from Microsoft Research. It is licensed
|
|
under the [MIT license](LICENSE.txt).
|
|
|
|
Z3 can be built using [Visual Studio][1] or a [Makefile][2]. It provides
|
|
[bindings for several programming languages][3].
|
|
|
|
See the [release notes](RELEASE_NOTES) for notes on various stable releases of Z3.

|
## Building Z3 on Windows using Visual Studio Command Prompt
|
|
|
|
32-bit builds, start with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python scripts/mk_make.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or instead, for a 64-bit build:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python scripts/mk_make.py -x
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
then:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd build
|
|
nmake
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building Z3 using make and GCC/Clang
|
|
|
|
Execute:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python scripts/mk_make.py
|
|
cd build
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note by default ``gcc`` is used as the C++ compiler if it is available. If you
|
|
would prefer to use Clang change the ``mk_make.py`` line to
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
CXX=clang++ CC=clang python scripts/mk_make.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that Clang < 3.7 does not support OpenMP.
|
|
|
|
By default, it will install z3 executable at ``PREFIX/bin``, libraries at
|
|
``PREFIX/lib``, and include files at ``PREFIX/include``, where ``PREFIX``
|
|
installation prefix if inferred by the ``mk_make.py`` script. It is usually
|
|
``/usr`` for most Linux distros, and ``/usr/local`` for FreeBSD and OSX. Use
|
|
the ``--prefix=`` command line option to change the install prefix. For example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python scripts/mk_make.py --prefix=/home/leo
|
|
cd build
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note the above will typically disable the installation of the Python bindings
|
|
because the Python ``site-packages`` directory (e.g.
|
|
``/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/``) is not rooted in the install prefix and
|
|
installing outside of the install prefix is dangerous and misleading.
|
|
|
|
To avoid this issue you can use the ``DESTDIR`` makefile variable and leave the
|
|
install prefix as the default. The ``DESTDIR`` variable is prepended to the
|
|
install locations during ``make install`` and ``make uninstall`` and is intended
|
|
to allow ["staged installs"](https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html).
|
|
Therefore it must always contain a trailing slash.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python scripts/mk_make.py
|
|
cd build
|
|
make
|
|
make install DESTDIR=/home/leo/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this example, the Z3 Python bindings will be stored at
|
|
``/home/leo/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages``
|
|
(``/home/leo/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages`` on Debian based Linux
|
|
distributions) where X.Y corresponds to the python version in your system.
|
|
|
|
To uninstall Z3, use
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo make uninstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To clean Z3 you can delete the build directory and run the ``mk_make.py`` script again.
|
|
|
|
## Z3 bindings
|
|
|
|
Z3 has bindings for various programming languages.
|
|
|
|
### ``.NET``
|
|
|
|
Use the ``--dotnet`` command line flag with ``mk_make.py`` to enable building these.
|
|
|
|
On non-windows platforms [mono](http://www.mono-project.com/) is required. On these
|
|
platforms the location of the C# compiler and gac utility need to be known. You
|
|
can set these as follows if they aren't detected automatically. For example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
CSC=/usr/bin/csc GACUTIL=/usr/bin/gacutil python scripts/mk_make.py --dotnet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note for very old versions of Mono (e.g. ``2.10``) you may need to set ``CSC``
|
|
to ``/usr/bin/dmcs``.
|
|
|
|
Note that when ``make install`` is executed on non-windows platforms the GAC
|
|
utility is used to install ``Microsoft.Z3.dll`` into the
|
|
[GAC](http://www.mono-project.com/docs/advanced/assemblies-and-the-gac/) as the
|
|
``Microsoft.Z3.Sharp`` package. During install a
|
|
[pkg-config](http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/) file
|
|
(``Microsoft.Z3.Sharp.pc``) is also installed which allows the
|
|
[MonoDevelop](http://www.monodevelop.com/) IDE to find the bindings. Running
|
|
``make uninstall`` will remove the dll from the GAC and the pkg-config file.
|
|
|
|
See [``examples/dotnet``](examples/dotnet) for examples.
|
|
|
|
### ``C``
|
|
|
|
These are always enabled.
|
|
|
|
See [``examples/c``](examples/c) for examples.
|
|
|
|
### ``C++``
|
|
|
|
These are always enabled.
|
|
|
|
See [``examples/c++``](examples/c++) for examples.
|
|
|
|
### ``Java``
|
|
|
|
Use the ``--java`` command line flag with ``mk_make.py`` to enable building these.
|
|
|
|
See [``examples/java``](examples/java) for examples.
|
|
|
|
### ``OCaml``
|
|
|
|
Use the ``--ml`` command line flag with ``mk_make.py`` to enable building these.
|
|
|
|
See [``examples/ml``](examples/ml) for examples.
|
|
|
|
### ``Python``
|
|
|
|
These bindings are always enabled.
|
|
|
|
See [``examples/python``](examples/python) for examples.
