+   "Against the requirements of the current SMT-LIB standard this theory does
+    not provide a value for the formal attributes :sorts, :funs, and :preds.
+    The reason is that the theory has an infinite number of sort, function, and
+    predicate symbols, and so they cannot be specified formally in the current
+    SMT-LIB language.  While extending SMT-LIB's type system with dependent
+    types would allow a finitary formal specification of all the symbols in
+    this theory's signature, such an extension does not seem to be worth the
+    trouble at the moment.  As a temporary ad-hoc solution, this theory
+    declaration specifies the signature, in English, in the user-defined
+    attributes :sorts_description, :funs_description, and :preds_description.

+
+:definition
+  "This is a core theory for fixed-size bitvectors where the operations
+   of concatenation and extraction of bitvectors as well as the usual
+   logical and arithmetic operations are overloaded.
+   The theory is defined semantically as follows.
+
+   The sort BitVec[m] (for m > 0) is the set of finite functions
+   whose domain is the initial segment of the naturals [0...m), meaning
+   that 0 is included and m is excluded, and the co-domain is {0,1}.
+
+   The semantic interpretation [[_]] of well-sorted BitVec-terms is
+   inductively defined as follows.
+
+   - Variables
+
+   If v is a variable of sort BitVec[m] with 0 < m, then
+   [[v]] is some element of [{0,...,m-1} -> {0,1}], the set of total
+   functions from {0,...,m-1} to {0,1}.
+
+   - Constant symbols bit0 and bit1 of sort BitVec[1]
+
+   [[bit0]] := \lambda x : [0,1). 0
+   [[bit1]] := \lambda x : [0,1). 1
+
+   - Function symbols for concatenation
+
+   [[(concat s t)]] := \lambda x : [0...n+m).
+                          if (x<m) then [[t]](x) else [[s]](x-m)
+   where
+   s and t are terms of sort BitVec[n] and BitVec[m], respectively,
+   0 < n, 0 < m.
+
+   - Function symbols for extraction
+
+   [[(extract[i:j] s)]] := \lambda x : [0...i-j+1). [[s]](j+x)
+   where s is of sort BitVec[l], 0 <= j <= i < l.
+
+   - Bit-wise operations
+
+   [[(bvnot s)]] := \lambda x : [0...m). if [[s]](x) = 0 then 1 else 0
+
+   [[(bvand s t)]] := \lambda x : [0...m).
+                         if [[s]](x) = 0 then 0 else [[t]](x)
+
+   [[(bvor s t)]] := \lambda x : [0...m).
+                         if [[s]](x) = 1 then 1 else [[t]](x)
+
+   where s and t are both of sort BitVec[m] and 0 < m.
+
+   - Arithmetic operations
+
+   To define the semantics of the bitvector arithmetic operators, we first
+   introduce some additional definitions:
+
+   o (x div y) where x and y are integers with x >= 0 and y > 0 returns the
+     integer part of x divided by y (i.e., truncated integer division).
+
+   o (x rem y) where x and y are integers with x >= 0 and y > 0 returns the
+     remainder when x is divided by y.  Note that we always have the following
+     equivalence (for y > 0): (x div y) * y + (x rem y) = x.
+
+   o bv2nat which takes a bitvector b: [0...m) --> {0,1}
+     with 0 < m, and returns an integer in the range [0...2^m),
+     and is defined as follows:
+
+       bv2nat(b) := b(m-1)*2^{m-1} + b(m-2)*2^{m-2} + ... + b(0)*2^0
+
+   o nat2bv[m], with 0 < m, which takes a non-negative integer
+     n and returns the (unique) bitvector b: [0,...,m) -> {0,1}
+     such that
+
+       b(m-1)*2^{m-1} + ... + b(0)*2^0 = n rem 2^m
+
+   Now, we can define the following operations.  Suppose s and t are both terms
+   of sort BitVec[m], m > 0.
+
+   [[(bvneg s)]] := nat2bv[m](2^m - bv2nat([[s]]))
+
+   [[(bvadd s t)]] := nat2bv[m](bv2nat([[s]]) + bv2nat([[t]]))
+
+   [[(bvmul s t)]] := nat2bv[m](bv2nat([[s]]) * bv2nat([[t]]))
+
+   [[(bvudiv s t)]] := if bv2nat([[t]]) != 0 then
+                          nat2bv[m](bv2nat([[s]]) div bv2nat([[t]]))
+
+   [[(bvurem s t)]] := if bv2nat([[t]]) != 0 then
+                          nat2bv[m](bv2nat([[s]]) rem bv2nat([[t]]))
+
+   - Shift operations
+
+   Suppose s and t are both terms of sort BitVec[m], m > 0.  We make use of the
+   definitions given for the arithmetic operations, above.
+
+   [[(bvshl s t)]] := nat2bv[m](bv2nat([[s]]) * 2^(bv2nat([[t]])))
+
+   [[(bvlshr s t)]] := nat2bv[m](bv2nat([[s]]) div 2^(bv2nat([[t]])))
+
+   Finally, we can define the binary predicate bvult:
+
+   (bvult s t) is interpreted to be true iff bv2nat([[s]]) < bv2nat([[t]])
+
+   Note that the semantic interpretation above is underspecified because it
+   does not specify the meaning of (bvudiv s t) or (bvurem s t) in case
+   bv2nat([[t]]) is 0.  Since the semantics of SMT-LIB's underlying logic
+   associates *total* functions to function symbols, we then consider as models
+   of this theory *any* interpretation conforming to the specifications above
+   (and defining bvudiv and bvurem arbitrarily when the second argument
+   evaluates to 0).  Benchmarks using this theory should only include a
+   :status sat or :status unsat attribute if the status is independent of
+   the particular choice of model for the theory.
