The first release of the generative implementation of CCMs, JmmSolve 0.1,
is available from:
http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~toms/jmmsolve/
JmmSolve automatically generates all possible valid behaviors, linkings of
reads and writes and corresponding values.
The current version is limited to normal variables and read and
(conditional) write events in the event language. We are planning to do
weekly updates, adding locking, volatile variables and translation from
source language to event language.
Please have a look and let us know what you think.
Best,
Tom
