MURPHI2C(1) General Commands Manual MURPHI2C(1) NAME murphi2c - translate a Murphi model to C for simulation SYNOPSIS murphi2c options [--output FILE] [FILE] DESCRIPTION Murphi2C is a utility bundled with the Rumur model checker. It can be used to translate a Murphi model into C source code for integration into a simulator. The translation is intended to match the user's in- tuition of the C equivalent of their Murphi model. That is, the pro- duced code is more readable and less micro-optimised than the model checking code produced by Rumur itself. The C translation produced by Murphi2C is only an approximation of the original Murphi model. For example, there is no equivalent of the "un- defined" value in C. If the input model relies on such details, the translation will not precisely match the model. Similarly the type com- patibility rules for Murphi and C differ, so models that use aliases or rely on type equivalence may cause Murphi2C to produce C code that does not compile. For such models, Murphi2C is only intended to generate an initial skeleton for a C translation. You should always inspect the output C code to confirm it matches your expectations. See rumur(1) for more information about Rumur or Murphi. OPTIONS --header Generate a C header, as opposed to a source file. --output FILE or -o FILE Set path to write the generated C code to. Without this option, code is written to stdout. --source Generate a C source file, as opposed to a header. This is the default. --value-type TYPE Change the C type used to represent scalar values in the emitted code. By default, int is used. Murphi2C does not validate that the type you specify is a valid C type, but simply trusts that you have given something that will be available when you compile the generated code. --version Display version information and exit. NOTES The generated C code exposes a set of function pointers that can be overwritten by other code to control the behaviour of certain events: // Called when a model assertion is violated. The default imple- mentation prints // the message and then calls exit(). void (*failed_assertion)(const char *message); // Called when a model assumption is violated. The default im- plementation prints // the message and then calls exit(). void (*failed_assumption)(const char *message); // Called when an error statement is reached. The default imple- mentation prints // the message and then calls exit(). void (*error)(const char *message); // Called when a cover condition is hit. The default implementa- tion does // nothing. void (*cover)(const char *message); // Called when a liveness condition is hit. The default imple- mentation does // nothing. void (*liveness)(const char *message); Murphi records are translated into C structs that use native, platform- dependent member layout. An exception to this is if the input model performs aggregate comparisons of record or array expressions (using == or !=). If this is the case, the produced structs will be packed (using __attribute__((packed))) to ensure they can be compared with memcmp.
