With the --mmio-regions command-line option it is no longer necessary to be able specify readable/writable memory regions in source code.

This depends on #6747. Labelled "Version 6" as this may break existing uses.

  • Each commit message has a non-empty body, explaining why the change was made.
  • n/a Methods or procedures I have added are documented, following the guidelines provided in CODING_STANDARD.md.
  • The feature or user visible behaviour I have added or modified has been documented in the User Guide in doc/cprover-manual/
  • Regression or unit tests are included, or existing tests cover the modified code (in this case I have detailed which ones those are in the commit message).
  • n/a My commit message includes data points confirming performance improvements (if claimed).
  • My PR is restricted to a single feature or bugfix.
  • n/a White-space or formatting changes outside the feature-related changed lines are in commits of their own.

This new option will enable us to eventually drop support for
__CPROVER_allocated_memory, which
1) requires awkward scanning of goto functions in goto_check_c,
2) wrongly suggests these declarations are limited to some scope, and
3) yields a spurious undefined-function warning in symex.
With the --mmio-regions command-line option it is no longer necessary to
be able specify readable/writable memory regions in source code.
