Description

Implement the following cheatcodes that have been factored out from https://github.com/runtimeverification/kontrol/pull/223:

    // Make calldata symbolic
    function symbolicCalldata() external;
    // Add assumptions about the length of symbolic calldata
    function assumeBytesLength(bytes calldata,uint256) external;
    rule ( selector ( "symbolicCallData()" )                       => 2368578420 )
    rule ( selector ( "assumeBytesLength(bytes,uint256)" )         => 1696199529 )
symbolicCallData — Changes the current calldata after a function selector to a symbolic variable.
function symbolicCallData() external;
    rule [foundry.call.symbolicCallData]:
         <k> #call_foundry SELECTOR _ARGS => . ... </k>
         <callData> CD:Bytes => #range( CD, 0, 4) +Bytes ?CALLDATA </callData>
      requires SELECTOR ==Int selector ( "symbolicCallData()" )
assumeBytesLength — Adds assumptions about the length of a symbolic bytes array.
function assumeBytesLength(bytes, uint256) external;
    rule [foundry.call.assumeBytesArray]:
         <k> #call_foundry SELECTOR ARGS => #assume (lengthBytes(#range(ARGS, 0, 32)) ==Int #asWord(#range(ARGS, 32, 32))) ... </k>
      requires SELECTOR ==Int selector ( "assumeBytesLength(bytes,uint256)" )

Research direction

Start by reading the changes factored out from kontrol pull request 223 and locate the existing Foundry cheatcode handling for the named selectors. Check the provided symbolicCalldata and assumeBytesLength rules and verify that both selectors apply the stated calldata transformation or length assumption; done means both cheatcodes are implemented with the specified behavior.
