The CIVL core libraries include:

• civlc: the basic library of CIVL, usually included in a CIVL-C program, defining types and functions that are frequently used;
• scope: providing utility functions related to dynamic scopes;
• pointer: providing utility functions dealing with pointers;
• seq: providing operations on sequences which is realized using arrays;
• concurrency: providing concurrency utilities such as barrier and collective record;
• bundle: defining bundle types and their operations;
• comm: defining communicators and their operations.

civlc : basic functions

Types:

• $operation: an enumeration type of operations

Functions:

• fun[lib="civlc"] $elaborate(x: Integer)
  • elaborate an integer expression
• fun[lib="civlc"] $next_time_count()
  • gets a unique non-negative integer for time count
• fun[lib="civlc", pure] $pathCondition()
  • prints path condition of the current state
• fun[lib="civlc"] $choose_int(n: Integer): Integer;
  • non-deterministic choice of integer
  • this function takes as input a positive integer n and nondeterministicaly returns an integer in the range [0, n − 1].
• fun[lib="scope"] $scope_parent(s: Scope): Scope
  • gets the parent of a scope s
  • If s is the root dynamic scope, it returns scope_null.

Pointer utilities pointer.cvh

The header pointer.cvh declares functions taking pointers as the arguments for different purposes, including:
