A VIM plugin that adds syntax highlighting for the SMT-LIB2 format, i.e. *.smt2 files.

Although SMT-LIB2 is the standard language supported by most SMT solvers, some of them introduce custom language extensions. Such extensions may range from syntactical sugar to fine-grained control over the underlying solver-procedure. Besides the base SMT-LIB2 language, this plugin supports the extensions used by the Z3 SMT solver.

Note: Unlike other SMT-LIB2 syntax highlighters for VIM, this one is derived directly from the source of Z3's online demo.

The plugin also provides shortcuts for evaluating the current file, using a SMT solver of your choice (defaults to Z3 or boolector):

• <localleader>r evaluates the current file (in a terminal)
• <localleader>R evaluates the current file and puts the output in a new split with syntax highlighting
• <localleader>v prints the solver's version (handy if you switch often)

Note: Unless you've set <localleader> to a custom key, it is \ (VIM default).

Here you can see it in action:

If you only care about the syntax highlighting and don't need shortcuts for calling a solver, you're done.

Otherwise, you need to:

• have z3 or boolector in your $PATH, or
• set g:smt2_solver_command in your ~/.vimrc to the command for calling the solver of your choice (e.g. let g:smt2_solver_command="boolector -m") and also
• set g:smt2_solver_version_switch to the solver's command line switch for printing it's version (default: --version).

Why does VIM not show any syntax highlighting - neither for *.smt2 files nor for others?

Most likely syntax highlighting is simply disabled. You can enable syntax highlighting by typing :syntax on in VIM or adding syntax on to your ~/.vimrc file.

Why does the ending of a file, e.g. *.smt2, not affect the plugins loaded by VIM?

Make sure that you have filetype plugins enabled. See |filetype-plugin-on| for details, or simply add the following to your ~/.vimrc:

What do you use to get the look shown on the screenshot?

The screenshot was made with the VIM colorscheme monokai and the airline standard theme dark.
