CFGAnalyzer

Description

This tool analyzes context-free grammars w.r.t. certain undecidable problems like language universality, inclusion, equivalence, intersection, and ambiguity. It uses an incremental SAT solver (so far: zChaff) to scan regions of words of bounded length for witnesses resp. counterexamples. This results in a semi-decision procedure, not an approximation. Hence, the results are sound and complete (for the bounds) but the analysis may not terminate.

Download

The current version is beta release only. No warranty can be given. Source code can be downloaded here. It is distributed under the BSD license.
The program is written in OCaml. You will therefore need an OCaml compiler to produce the executables. We recommend version ≥ 3.09, but smaller versions may also suffice. You will also need the SAT solver zChaff. Again, we recommend version 2007.3.12.

If you want to be notified whenever a newer version is available please provide your details. Otherwise leave the fields blank.
