assertConstraint

public void assertConstraint(UnitPropagationListener s)

Returns:

the constraint associated to that propagatable.

calcReasonOnTheFly

public void calcReasonOnTheFly(int p,

Description copied from interface: Constr

Compute the reason for a given assignment in a the constraint created on the fly in the solver. Compared to the method Constr.calcReason(int, IVecInt), the falsification may not have been detected as soon as possible. As such, it is necessary to take into account the order of the literals in the trail.

Specified by:

calcReasonOnTheFly in interface Constr

Parameters:

p - a satisfied literal (or Lit.UNDEFINED)

trail - all the literals satisfied in the solvers, should not be modified.

outReason - a list of falsified literals whose negation is the reason of the assignment of p to true.
