SLAyer is an automatic formal verification tool that uses separation logic to verify memory safety of C programs.

SLAyer is licensed under the MIT licence included in the LICENSE file.

Building and testing SLAyer has some dependencies on the environment. To set this up, start in a VS 201x shell. Then enter a bash shell, cd to here, and execute:

$ source config.sh

To build SLAyer:

$ cd src; make; cd ..

The slayer.exe will be left in the bin directory.

See src/README for additional building instructions.

To run the tests:

Start a new VS2010+bash shell, and cd to here. (The reason to start a new shell is that SLAyer is built using the usual VS compiler, but when slayer runs on tests, it needs to run the WDK compiler.)

$ source ./config.sh $ cd test; source config.sh

$ cd sll $ slayer -vSE 3 -vAbs 2 traverse.c

See test/README for additional testing instructions.
