Why3 is a platform for deductive program verification. It provides a
rich language for specification and programming, called WhyML, and
relies on external theorem provers, both automated and interactive, to
discharge verification conditions. Why3 comes with a standard library
of logical theories (integer and real arithmetic, Boolean operations,
sets and maps, etc.) and basic programming data structures (arrays,
queues, hash tables, etc.). A user can write WhyML programs directly
and get correct-by-construction OCaml programs through an automated
extraction mechanism. WhyML is also used as an intermediate language
for the verification of C, Java, or Ada programs.
