Add the ability to customize incremental pre-processing simplification for the SMTLIB2 front-end. The main new capability is to use pre-processing tactics in incremental mode that were previously not available. The main new capabilities are
- solve-eqs
- reduce-args
- elim-unconstrained
There are several more. Documentation and exposed simplifiers are populated incrementally. The current set of supported simplifiers can be inspected by using z3 with the --simplifiers flag or referring to https://microsoft.github.io/z3guide/docs/strategies/simplifiers
Some pending features are:
- add the ability to update parameters to simplifiers similar to how tactics can be controlled using parameters.
- expose simplification solvers over the binary API.
leverage interval propagation for bounds.
merge functionality with propagate-ineqs tactic
remove the new propagate-bounds tactic and instead use propagate-ineqs
- increase build version to 4.12.1. This prepares updated release for MacOs-11 build on x86
- move literal propagation mode in euf-egraph to a callback and traversal of equivalence class. Track antecedent by newest equality instead of root. This makes equality propagation to literals have similar behavior as in legacy solver and appears to result in a speedup (10% fewer conflicts on QF_UF/QG-classification/qg5/iso_icl478.smt2 in preliminary testing)
- fix interaction of pre-processing and assumptions. Pre-processing has to freeze assumption literals so they don't get eliminated. This is similar to dependencies that are already frozen.
- add sat.smt option to enable the new incremental core (it is not ready for mainstream consumption as cloning and other features are not implemented and it hasn't been tested in any detail yet).
- move "name" into attribute on simplifier so it can be reused for diagnostics by the seq-simplifier.
