Yes, I do. Z3, CVC3 and Yices all support "structured values" in the sense that 
is algebraic datatypes. The "empty theory" is ambiguous in the SMT solver 
community. It could mean "yes" or it could mean the theory of equality. Not 
sure if some lump in the theory of equality with uninterpreted functions too, 
but I wouldn't be surprised.

I have an implementation of Oliviera's and Nieuwenhuis's SMT(T) framework on 
planet if he's interested in adding more theories. I implemented equality of 
uninterpreted functions a while back but I don't think that's part of the 
PLaneT release. Let me know if that's the plan.

Test generation is really just satisfying assignments to some (negated) 
property that you wanted to hold, but didn't. Say you change your 
implementation and the whole correctness checking is hard. Well, throw in that 
satisfying assignment - it might hit the bug again.

Subject: [racket] Experience with SMT solvers for test generation?

Does anyone on this list have experience with SMT solvers and their use in 
test-generation tools like DART and SAGE? I have a student that's interested in 
this stuff, and it looks to me like most of the existing SMT solvers focus on 
theories of arithmetic, rather than structured values. I have a faint sense 
that what SMT solvers call "empty theory" may in fact suffice for the kinds of 
things I have in mind, but I'd like to hear from someone who knows more about 
it.

Thanks in advance!

John
