I'm afraid I don't really know what's wrong but I can offer you a few
observations.

1. Your arrays are all one byte in size, is that intentional?

Sorry, which arrays are these? A lot of this code is auto generated by Simulink, the only code I've really created manually is the symbolic driver (in the symbolic/ directory), and I don't think any arrays in there are one byte. I'm no C expert, so it's possible I messed something up somewhere. I can't think of a place where I intentionally created one byte arrays.


2. The query you show is actually satisfiable (despite what the
warning says). I took your query and modified it a little bit so I
could get a satisfying assignment. I've attached this file (test.pc)
which you can pass to the kleaver tool which will evaluate the
constraints. It shows the following output.

Query 0:        INVALID
      Array 0:        KP_CLEAR[0]
      Array 1:        KP_START[0]
      Array 2:        KP_CLEAR_2[0]
      Array 3:        KP_START_1[1]
      Array 4:        KP_1[1]
      Array 5:        KP_CLEAR_3[1]
      Array 6:        DOOR_CLOSED_1[0]
      Array 7:        KP_CLEAR_1[0]

KLEE's constraint solving is a little bit confusing because the
underlying solver (STP) works in terms of validity and not
satisifiability (so it says INVALID) but as you can see from the above
we get satisfying assignments for each array (e.g. the first byte of
KP_START_1 can be 1). If you'd like to know more about the constraint
language see [1]

Hmm, I will read up on this, thanks for the link. That file's helpful, it's good to know how I can pass that output to the solver to play with it a little. If anyone can help us understand this error message better, we'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jason

First, I'm a klee noob, so I apologize if this has been previously
answered; I did check the archives but it didn't seem like there was an
equivalent post.

We are trying to use klee for bounded test generation for some embedded controller for a microwave that we generate from MATLAB embedded code. The software runs as a cyclic task: there is a "step" function that runs one execution step; in the embedded system, this will be called forever.

Each "step", new inputs are sampled and outputs are computed.  In our
initial driver for klee, we executed a bounded loop of n-steps and
repeatedly initialized the inputs as symbolic and passed them to the
step function. This didn't seem to work, so we took the symbolic
initialization out of the loop, instead initializing an array:
pre-computing the set of inputs, if you will.

This seems to work, mostly, but we get some warnings from klee when we
run the code. They are variations on this:

KLEE: WARNING: unable to compute initial values (invalid constraints?)!
array KP_CLEAR[1] : w32 -> w8 = symbolic
array KP_START[1] : w32 -> w8 = symbolic

       (Eq false
           (Eq 0 (Read w8 0 KP_CLEAR_3)))]
      false)
KLEE: WARNING: unable to get symbolic solution, losing test case

We don't understand these warnings, and when I google, I don't see much.
Could you help us out?  The code for the example is in github under
https://github.com/jbiatek/microwave.

Thank you in advance!

Jason and Mike
