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.
move sat_smt_preprocess to solver
fix bugs in model_reconstruction_trail for dependency replay
This is a preparatory step for exposing pre-processing as tactics.
- convert reduce-args to a simplifier. Currently exposed as reduce-args2 tactic until the old tactic code gets removed.
- bug fixes in model_reconstruction trail
- allow multiple defs to be added with same pool of removed formulas
- fix tracking of function symbols instead of expressions to filter replay
- add nla_divisions to track (cheap) divisibility lemmas.
-
- 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.
This update includes an experimental feature to access a congruence closure data-structure after search.
It comes with several caveats as pre-processing is free to eliminate terms. It is therefore necessary to use a solver that does not eliminate the terms you want to track for congruence of. This is partially addressed by using SimpleSolver or incremental mode solving.
```python
from z3 import *
s = SimpleSolver()
x, y, z = Ints('x y z')
s.add(x == y)
s.add(y == z)
s.check()
print(s.root(x), s.root(y), s.root(z))
print(s.next(x), s.next(y), s.next(z))
```
- enable sat.smt in smt_tactic that
is invoked by default on first goals
add flatten-clauses
add push-ite
have tptp5 front-end pretty print SMT2 formulas a little nicer.
rename size() to qtail() and introduce shortcuts
ensure tactic goals are not updated if they are in inconsistent state (because indices could be invalidated)
- 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.
in an iteration of inc-sat-solver introduce sat-smt-solver to allow incremental pre-processing.
The aim is to allow incrementally handling formulas while at the same time retaining the main benefits of global in/pre-processing that change models. Previous incremental solving capabilities have been limited to use pre-processing that does not require model conversion.
other updates:
- change signature of advance_qhead to simplify call sites
- have model reconstruction replay work on a tail of dependent_expr state, while adding formulas to the tail.
literals true/false are not necessarily created when the merge flag is set.
Also disable merge_tf for if-then-else expressions
Perhaps even not insert children of if expressions into congruence table?
perf fix for propagation behavior for equalities in the new core.
The old behavior was not to allow congruence closure on equalities.
The new behavior is to just not allow merging tf with equalities unless they appear somewhere in a foreign context (not under a Boolean operator)
The change re-surfaces merge_tf and enable_cgc distinction from the old core.
They can both be turned on or off.
merge_enabled renamed to cgc_enabled
The change is highly likely to introduce regressions in the new core.
Change propagation of literals from congruence:
- track antecedent enode. There are four ways to propagate
literals from the egraph.
- the literal is an equality and the two arguments are congruent
- the antecedent is merged with node n and the antecedent has a Boolean variable assignment.
- the antecedent is true or false, they are merged.
- the merge_tf flag is toggled to true but the node n has not been merged with true/false
this update breaks use cases that set sat.smt.proof to True.
As it is such a new feature and the change affects possibly at most the tutorial it is made without compatibility layers.
