Add support verification of unbounded structures and loops #311

@danielsn

Description

@danielsn

The CBMC backend RMC uses currently only supports bounded verification. This means bugs may be missed if the are only triggered by inputs larger than the specified bounds.

Likelihood:

In practice, we found few issues (other than integer overflows) where this was a major concern in C code, and expect the same to hold for Rust.

Mitigation:

  • using --unwinding-assertions to ensure that all loops are fully unwound
  • Checking coverage
  • Manual audit of proof harness bounds

Path to soundness:

Support function contracts and loop invariants
