This repository serves as archive for the last and final version of CVC4. CVC4 was succeeded by cvc5.

CVC4 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 fourth in the Cooperating Validity Checker family of tools (CVC, CVC Lite, CVC3) but does not directly incorporate code from any previous version.

If you are using CVC4 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.

CVC4 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).
