# Summary: UserPropagator Quantifier Instantiation Callback Documentation
## Implementation Complete
This implementation addresses the documentation request for the UserPropagator callback for quantifier instantiations feature added in Z3 version 4.15.3.
## What Was Delivered
### 1. Complete Working Examples
#### Python Example (`examples/python/quantifier_instantiation_callback.py`)
- ✅ **Basic instantiation control**: Demonstrates limiting the number of quantifier instantiations
- ✅ **Advanced pattern filtering**: Shows filtering based on instantiation patterns
- ✅ **Instantiation logging**: Provides comprehensive logging and analysis capabilities
- ✅ **Error handling**: Includes proper exception handling
- ✅ **Fully tested**: All examples run successfully and produce expected output
#### C++ Example (`examples/c++/quantifier_instantiation_callback.cpp`)
- ✅ **Complete C++ API usage**: Shows how to use the `Z3_solver_propagate_on_binding` function
- ✅ **Multiple callback strategies**: Demonstrates different filtering approaches
- ✅ **Context management**: Proper handling of user context data
- ✅ **Memory management**: Safe handling of callback contexts
#### C Example (`examples/c/quantifier_instantiation_callback.c`)
- ✅ **Low-level C API**: Direct usage of Z3 C API functions
- ✅ **Pattern tracking**: Dynamic tracking of instantiation patterns
- ✅ **Memory safety**: Proper allocation and deallocation
### 2. Comprehensive Documentation
#### API Documentation (`doc/quantifier_instantiation_callback.md`)
- ✅ **Complete API reference**: Covers Python, C++, and C APIs
- ✅ **Usage patterns**: Best practices and common use cases
- ✅ **Performance considerations**: Guidance on efficiency
- ✅ **Troubleshooting**: Common issues and solutions
- ✅ **Technical details**: Callback semantics and behavior
#### Usage Guide (`examples/README_quantifier_callbacks.md`)
- ✅ **Step-by-step instructions**: How to compile and run examples
- ✅ **Prerequisites**: Required dependencies and setup
- ✅ **Expected output**: What users should see when running examples
- ✅ **Troubleshooting**: Common compilation and runtime issues
### 3. Validation and Testing
#### Unit Tests (`src/test/test_quantifier_instantiation_callback.py`)
- ✅ **7 comprehensive test cases**: Cover all major functionality
- ✅ **All tests pass**: Validated working implementation
- ✅ **Error handling tests**: Verify graceful exception handling
- ✅ **Edge case coverage**: Tests with/without quantifiers, UNSAT formulas, etc.
## Key Features Demonstrated
### 1. **Instantiation Control**
```python
def on_quantifier_instantiation(self, quantifier, instantiation):
# Allow only first 3 instantiations
return self.count <= 3
```
### 2. **Pattern-Based Filtering**
```python
def filter_by_pattern(self, quantifier, instantiation):
pattern = str(instantiation)
# Allow max 2 instantiations per pattern
return self.pattern_counts[pattern] <= 2
```
### 3. **Comprehensive Logging**
```python
def log_instantiation(self, quantifier, instantiation):
self.log.append({
'quantifier': str(quantifier),
'instantiation': str(instantiation),
'timestamp': len(self.log)
})
return True # Allow all for analysis
```
## Verified Working Examples
### Python Output
```
============================================================
BASIC QUANTIFIER INSTANTIATION CONTROL EXAMPLE
============================================================
Checking satisfiability with instantiation control...
Instantiation #1:
Quantifier: ForAll(x, f(x) >= 0)
Instantiation: f(1) >= 0
-> ALLOWED (#1)
Instantiation #2:
Quantifier: ForAll(x, f(x) >= 0)
Instantiation: f(2) >= 0
-> ALLOWED (#2)
Instantiation #3:
Quantifier: ForAll(x, f(x) >= 0)
Instantiation: f(3) >= 0
-> ALLOWED (#3)
Result: sat
Model: [c = 3, b = 2, a = 1, f = [else -> 0]]
```
### Unit Test Results
```
Ran 7 tests in 0.024s
OK
```
## Use Cases Addressed
1. **Performance Optimization**: Examples show how to limit expensive instantiations
2. **Custom Instantiation Strategies**: Demonstrate domain-specific filtering
3. **Debugging and Analysis**: Comprehensive logging for understanding solver behavior
4. **Interactive Solving**: Fine-grained control over quantifier instantiation process
## API Coverage
- ✅ **Python API**: Complete `UserPropagateBase` integration with `add_on_binding()`
- ✅ **C API**: Direct usage of `Z3_solver_propagate_on_binding()`
- ✅ **C++ API**: Wrapper around C API with proper type safety
- ✅ **Error handling**: Graceful handling of callback exceptions
- ✅ **Context management**: Proper user context passing and handling
