VSCode ProVerif Language Service

• Press CTRL+SHIFT+B to execute ProVerif over the currently opened file.

Settings:

• Proverif Path: Custom path to the proverif binary (else taken from $PATH).
• Parent Folder Discovery Limit: Parent folders to read until discovery stops (e.g. to find references).

You might want to further customize how the extension affects VSCode, see CUSTOMIZATION.md.

Libraries (.pvl)

If your .pv or .pvl file depends on libraries, include a corresponding comment (* -lib {library_path}.pvl *):

(* -lib types.pvl *)

fun senc(bitstring, key): bitstring.
reduc forall m: bitstring, k: key; sdec(senc(m,k),k) = m.

Logs (.pv.log)

Store output of ProVerif in .pv.log files, for some basic syntax highlighting, and process reference navigation (press CTRL and click on e.g. {21} to navigate to its definition).
