Jedd: Java Extension for Decision Diagrams
Jedd is a Java language extension designed for implementing program analyses
using binary decision diagrams (BDDs). BDDs are abstracted in Jedd as
a new primitive data type, database-style relations. A detailed paper about
Jedd was presented at
PLDI 2004, and is available
from the
Sable publications page. Additional information about Jedd can also be
found in my PhD thesis, in Chapter 3 and Appendix B.
Jedd is based on the
Polyglot extensible compiler framework. Currently, Jedd supports four
BDD libraries as backends:
BuDDy,
CUDD,
SableJBDD,
and
JavaBDD.
When building Jedd from source, these libraries
should be downloaded separately. The binary distribution of Jedd has these
libraries linked in.
Jedd is freely available for download under the
GNU Lesser General Public License.
A mini-tutorial on Jedd is available in PDF format.
The javadoc documentation of the (rather small) API available to Jedd programs
is available. In particular, this includes the
jedd.Jedd class with methods controlling the behaviour of Jedd in general,
and the jedd.Relation interface of methods that can be called on any
relation type.

A precompiled binary distribution of Jedd is available for download.
If you prefer to compile Jedd yourself, please see
the instructions below.
To use the Jedd translator to compile Jedd programs, you need the following:
- Add jedd-translator.jar from the Jedd distribution to your CLASSPATH
environment variable.
- Add the Polyglot classes jar to your CLASSPATH environment variable.
You can download a pre-compiled jar of Polyglot from the Soot download page.
- Install a SAT solver. I have been using Jedd with
zChaff, but it
should also work with other SAT solvers such as
Grasp and
Sato.
The -s switch to Jedd is used to specify the full path of the SAT
solver binary. If the solver has an unsatisfiable core extractor (like
the zcore program bundled with Zchaff), specify its full
path using the -sc switch to Jedd. Because the zChaff command-line
syntax changes from version to version, I have written two shell
scripts, zchaff and zcore, for invoking zChaff
version 2004.5.13 with the correct syntax. The scripts can be found in
the scripts directory of the Jedd distribution. Should the
command-line syntax change again in future versions of zChaff, the
scripts can be modified to match the new syntax.
(Optional) To browse the output of the Jedd profiler, an SQL
database, a CGI-capable web server, Gnuplot, Python to execute the CGI scripts,
and a web browser are required. I use SQLite and thttpd because of their
simplicity and ease-of-installation. The SQL code and CGI scripts are
somewhat SQLite-specific, but they should work with any CGI-capable
web server and with any standards-compliant web browser. The version
numbers of the tools used during Jedd development are given below. Other
versions may also work.

Initial public release of Jedd.
| Compiling Jedd from source |
top |
Jedd comes with an Ant build file for
building it from source. Jedd has been developed on GNU/Linux and also tested
on Windows XP, but few modifications
should be required to build it under other operating systems.
The following tools are required to build Jedd. The version numbers specify
the versions of the tools that were used in Jedd development. Other versions
may also work.
Jedd links to the following libraries, and these are also required to build
Jedd.
First, download and build/install all the dependencies above.
After expanding the Jedd source archive, you will find a file named
ant.settings.template in the Jedd directory. Copy this
file to a ant.settings. This file tells the build process where
to find all the tools needed to build Jedd. Edit the file with a text
editor to specify the locations of all the tools. Then, just run
ant, and Jedd should be built in the lib subdirectory.
(Optional) Jedd also includes a Soot-based live variable analysis
that optimizes Jedd code to free the BDD nodes of relations that become
dead. To build this optimizer, you will need the latest version of Soot
from Soot Subversion repository. The optimizer is built using the Ant
target compile-deadvaroptimizer.
