Description

Related to ERCx.

To enable fast concrete execution of Foundry tests, we might enable fully concrete execution using the LLVM backend in Kontrol. The initial configuration should be fully concrete. One of the possible challenges is related to extracting information about the execution; it's unclear if LLVM backend can be used as a server (in a similar way to kore-rpc).

Research direction

Start by reading Kontrol's LLVM backend and the existing kore-rpc execution approach, then trace how Foundry tests are executed and how execution information is extracted. The issue is complete when fully concrete LLVM-backed execution is enabled with an initial configuration and the extraction or server interface is defined.
