What both publish
| Fact | Boogie | cvc5 |
|---|---|---|
| Integrations | The repository lists VCC and HAVOC for C, and Dafny, Chalice, Spec#, and Move verifiers as projects built on Boogie. | The project lists applications using cvc5, including Kind 2 and QMaxUSE as backend solvers, and TRLC through PyVCG for proving absence of runtime errors. |
| Purpose | Boogie is an intermediate modeling and verification language used as a layer for building program verifiers for other languages. | cvc5 is an efficient open-source automatic theorem prover for satisfiability modulo theories problems. |
| Support | The project directs users to its GitHub issue tracker to ask questions and report issues. | The project directs bug reports to its GitHub issue tracker and questions, feature requests, and contributions to GitHub Discussions. |
