README

Kani regression Nightly: CBMC Latest

The Kani Rust Verifier is a bit-precise model checker for Rust.

Kani is particularly useful for verifying unsafe code blocks in Rust, where the "unsafe superpowers" are unchecked by the compiler.

Kani verifies:

  • Memory safety (e.g., null pointer dereferences)
  • User-specified assertions (i.e., assert!(...))
  • The absence of panics (e.g., unwrap() on None values)
  • The absence of some types of unexpected behavior (e.g., arithmetic overflows)

Installation

To install the latest version of Kani (Rust 1.58+; Linux or Mac), run:

cargo install --locked kani-verifier
cargo kani setup

See the installation guide for more details.

How to use Kani

Similar to testing, you write a harness, but with Kani you can check all possible values using kani::any():

use my_crate::{function_under_test, meets_specification, precondition};

#[kani::proof]
fn check_my_property() {
   // Create a nondeterministic input
   let input = kani::any();

   // Constrain it according to the function's precondition
   kani::assume(precondition(input));

   // Call the function under verification
   let output = function_under_test(input);

   // Check that it meets the specification
   assert!(meets_specification(input, output));
}

Kani will then try to prove that all valid inputs produce acceptable outputs, without panicking or executing unexpected behavior. Otherwise Kani will generate a trace that points to the failure. We recommend following the tutorial to learn more about how to use Kani.
