cvc5

cvc5 is a tool for determining the satisfiability of a first order formula modulo a first order theory (or a combination of such theories). It is the fifth in the Cooperating Validity Checker family of tools (CVC, CVC Lite, CVC3, CVC4) but does not directly incorporate code from any previous version prior to CVC4.

If you are using cvc5 in your work, or incorporating it into software of your own, we invite you to send us a description and link to your project/software, so that we can link it on our Third Party Applications page.

cvc5 is intended to be an open and extensible SMT engine. It can be used as a stand-alone tool or as a library. It has been designed to increase the performance and reduce the memory overhead of its predecessors. It is written entirely in C++ and is released under an open-source software license (see file COPYING).
