Summary

This PR fixes multiple issues that prevented tests from passing on Linux with the x86 backend. After these changes, 11 of 12 tests pass; the remaining test (bitmask) is not a code bug but a computational scalability issue.

Passing tests (11)

bsort, if_statements, deg2rad, bitcount, ext_func, loops, binarysearch, insertsort, modexp, countnegative, prime

Failing test (1)

bitmask — The test has 49 basis paths and 22,465 possible paths through the unrolled CFG. The vast majority of candidate paths are infeasible, requiring thousands of KLEE invocations (each taking several seconds). After 1,000+ KLEE attempts over ~1 hour, only 2 of 49 basis paths were found feasible. The test infrastructure works correctly (those 2 paths produced valid measurements), but completing the full analysis would take many hours. This is an inherent scalability limitation of the basis-path search for programs with highly constrained, deeply unrolled loops — not a code bug.

Changes

1. PuLP 3.3.0 compatibility (src/pulp_helper.py)

pulp.COIN was renamed to pulp.COIN_CMD in PuLP 3.x.

2. Safe shutil.rmtree calls (src/analyzer.py)

Added os.path.exists() checks before shutil.rmtree() to prevent FileNotFoundError when the temp directory doesn't exist yet.

3. KLEE timeout and modify_bitcode path fix (src/smt_solver/smt.py)

  • Added --max-time=30 flag and Python-level timeout=60 to KLEE subprocess calls, with proper exception handling for TimeoutExpired and CalledProcessError. Without this, KLEE could run indefinitely on complex paths.
  • Changed modify_bitcode compilation output from the shared smt_solver/ directory to per-test output directories, fixing OSError: [Errno 26] Text file busy when multiple tests run concurrently.

4. Dynamic KLEE include path + duplicate main() removal (src/smt_solver/to_klee_format.py)

  • Replaced hardcoded macOS KLEE path (/opt/homebrew/include/klee/klee.h) with KLEE_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable for cross-platform support.
  • Added brace-matching code to detect and remove existing main() definitions and forward declarations before inserting the KLEE-generated main(), fixing duplicate symbol errors for test programs that already contain a main().

5. Driver generation fixes (src/backend/generate_executable.py)

  • Missing includes: Added #include <stdio.h> and #include <stdint.h> for the x86 backend driver (needed for printf and uint32_t).
  • Duplicate main() removal: Same brace-matching approach as the KLEE formatter.
  • Typedef array support: Added typedef resolution — builds a typedef map from the AST, resolves typedef'd types (e.g., typedef int matrix[20][20]), and generates proper flat initializer lists (matrix Array = {0x00000000, 0xffffffff, ...}) instead of the invalid matrix Array = 0x....

6. KLEE stub header (klee_stubs/klee/klee.h)

Created a stub klee.h with no-op implementations of klee_make_symbolic, klee_assert, and klee_range for compilation without the full KLEE installation.

7. Test file fixes

  • test/countnegative/countnegative.c: Removed _Pragma() directives that pycparser cannot parse. Changed config to analyze countnegative_sum directly instead of main.
  • test/ext_func/ext_func.c: Created proper test file (config referenced a non-existent file).

8. Fix array type check ordering (generate_executable.py)

Reordered the type checks in gen_arguments so that regular array parameters (e.g., int arr[SIZE]) are handled by generate_array_declaration before typedef-resolved arrays, preventing an AttributeError when running with the FlexPRET backend.

Prerequisites (not in this PR)

These changes assume the following environment setup:

  • KLEE built from source (tested with KLEE 3.3-pre, LLVM 16.0.6) with klee on PATH
  • KLEE_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable pointing to KLEE's include directory
  • pycparser-fake-libc Python package installed (pip install pycparser-fake-libc)
  • conda gametime environment with clang-16/llvm-16

Test plan

  • Run all 12 tests with gametime test/<name> --backend x86
  • Verify 11 tests produce result.txt with WCET analysis
  • Verify bitmask test runs correctly but takes too long to complete
  • Run all 11 passing tests with gametime test/ --backend flexpret
  • Verify all 11 tests produce result.txt with WCET analysis on FlexPRET
