Abstract
This paper describes a new proof tool for deciding bit-vector problems in HOL4. The approach is based on “bit-blasting”, wherein word expressions are mapped into propositional formulas, which are then handed to a SAT solver. Significantly, the implementation uses the LCF approach, which means that the soundness of the tool is guaranteed by the soundness of HOL4’s logical kernel.
