-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-16145 2010-10-12 02:35:05 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : why Product : Fedora 14 Version : 2.26 Release : 1.fc14 URL : http://why.lri.fr/ Summary : Software verification platform Description : Why is a software verification platform that applies formal proving tools to annotated programs. It is currently capable of analysis of C (through the included tool "Caduceus"), Java (through the included tool "Krakatoa"), and potentially ML programs with some modification into Why's own ML-like language. Furthermore, Why is capable of analysis of any program that is mapped onto its own internal language. It uses a weakest precondition involving calculus to generate potential theorems necessary for the proof of a program's correctness. It translates these theorems into formats that can be used by external proof assistants (without any extra work, Coq, PVS, HOL Light, Mizar are supported - having one is recommended and Coq is packaged for Fedora) and automated theorem provers (without any extra work, Simplify, Alt-Ergo, Yices, Z3, CVC Lite, Zenon are supported and Zenon is packaged for Fedora) so that these results can be externally proven, resulting in a proof of program correctness. Note: Each user account must be set up by running "why-config" at the command line (to set up a configuration file). Invoke the Jessie plug-in with: frama-c -jessie FILE.c -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Updated "why"; now it integrates with Frama-C and PVS. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat Oct 9 2010 David A. Wheeler + Mark Rader <[email protected]> - 2.26-1 - Upgrade to upstream version 2.26 (inc. update of krakatoa.pdf) - Integrated with Frama-C and PVS (as pvs-sbcl) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update why' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/. All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.
