Description

  • Goal: This framework should allow users to use internal terms directly to test the simplifcation rules, rather than construct a Rust program for testing.
  • Rationale: It is indirect to construct a Rust program for simplification testing, costing more time to construct safe and correct simp rules.
  • Possible Solution:
    • The prototype might be similar to the ones in riscv-semantics.
    • It can be better with template to sketch the form, and xx => yy dsl to fill the content.

Research direction

Review the referenced riscv-semantics test-data/specs/bytes-int.k prototype and the current Rust-based simplification testing workflow. Define how templates and the xx => yy DSL would express internal terms and rules, with completion shown by users testing simplification rules without constructing a Rust program.
