+ # Unsound CLI options for various tools
2
+
3
+ Be advised that the following command line options to ` cbmc ` and ` goto-instrument `
4
+ have been reported to be unsound:
5
+
6
+ * ` --reachability-slice ` has been reported to flip verification results from
7
+ failed to successful. For more information, please have a look at [ cbmc #6394 ] ( https://github.com/diffblue/cbmc/issues/6394 )
8
+ * ` --full-slice ` has been reported to be unsound in issue [ cbmc #260 ] ( https://github.com/diffblue/cbmc/issues/260 )
9
+
10
+ ` cbmc ` and ` goto-instrument ` have also been modified to warn that options used
11
+ are unsound as part of their output. An example of how that output looks is shown
12
+ below:
13
+
14
+ ``` sh
15
+ $ cbmc --reachability-slice ~ /Devel/cbmc_bugs/6394/before-slice.out
16
+ CBMC version 5.45.0 (cbmc-5.43.0-77-g99c5a92de1-dirty) 64-bit arm64 macos

+ Reading GOTO program from file

+ Reading: ~ /Devel/cbmc_bugs/6394/before-slice.out

+ Adding CPROVER library (x86_64)

+ Generic Property Instrumentation
23
+ WARNING: Unsound option --reachability-slice
24
+ Performing a reachability slice
25
+ Running with 8 object bits, 56 offset bits (default)
26
+ Starting Bounded Model Checking
27
+ [...]
28
+ ```
29
+
30
+ Be advised some of these options may be activated by auxiliary options, for instance,
31
+ ` --aggressive-slice ` seems to lead to a path that performs the transformations that
32
+ ` --reachability-slice ` does in ` goto-instrument ` .
You can’t perform that action at this time.
