SMTLIB as a Compiler IR I

Read Original

The article discusses an experimental approach to compiler design by using the SMT-LIB language and the Z3 solver's AST as an intermediate representation (IR). It connects SSA (Static Single Assignment) form to functional programming concepts and demonstrates how to model a program's control flow graph (CFG) and logic within an SMT solver for analysis and transformation.
