*
* \section SecStart Getting started
*
* For your fist steps with %Gecode, including detailed instructions on
* installing the library and compiling against it, please refer to the
* document <A HREF="http://www.gecode.org/doc-latest/MPG.pdf">Modeling and
* Programming with Gecode</A>.
*
* You may also want to have a look at our \ref PageNotation as well as
* our \ref Example.

/**
* \page PageNotation Notational conventions
*
* Throughout this reference documentation we use some notational conventions
* designed to keep the documentation concise yet understandable. Please
* read the following carefully.
*
* \section NotationArray Array notation
*
* We allow ourselves to refer to the \f$i\f$-th element of an array \f$x\f$
* by \f$x_i\f$. The size of an array \f$x\f$ (either provided by a member
* function \c %size() or clear from context) is denoted \f$|x|\f$.
*
* \section NotationHome The home space
*
* Many functions and member functions take an argument \a home of
* type \c Space&. The home space serves as manager to many
* operations used by variables, views, propagators, spaces, and so
* on. It provides
* services such as failure management, propagation control,
* memory management, and so on. To keep the documentation concise
* the home space is not documented for functions
* and member functions.
*
* \section NotationShare Sharing in update and copy
*
* In member functions that either copy or update an object during
* cloning, an argument \a share of type \c bool is available. This
* Boolean value controls whether during cloning the data structure at
* hand will be shared among the newly created cloned space and the original
* or whether two independent copies are created. Some functions (such
* as \c copy for spaces (Gecode::Space) or \c copy for propagators
* (Gecode::Propagator) also feature this argument. Here it is used
* to pass on the Boolean value to other datastructures used inside spaces
* or propagators.
*
* The actual value the \a share argument has is defined by the search
* engine: when a search engine uses the \a clone member function of
* a space it decides whether sharing is to be used in the cloning of
* the space or not. If the search engine is single-threaded, it will
* use full sharing (\a share will be true). Only if the search engine
* uses concurrency or parallelism with more than a single thread,
* it will pass false as value. This means that by not sharing data structures
* among spaces which are to be used in different threads, all parts of
* %Gecode but the actual search engine do not need to provide concurrency
* control.
*
* As examples for data structures which are sensitive to sharing, consider
* Gecode::SharedArray, Gecode::IntSet, and Gecode::DFA.

/**
* \page PageHowToChange_2 How to Change from %Gecode 1.3.1 to %Gecode 2.0.x
*
As %Gecode 2.0.0 is a major revision of %Gecode, your programs that are written
for %Gecode 1.3.1 are likely to require some modifications before they work
again. All modifications are straightforward, though.
This short summary shows how to adapt your models and linker invocation, for
changes to propagator implementations, etc, please consult the changelog.
\section SecChange2IntBool IntVar and BoolVar
Boolean variables (BoolVar) are not any longer integer variables
(IntVar). The same holds for variable arrays (BoolVarArray,
IntVarArray). So, you can not mix Boolean and integer variables
in the same array (use two different arrays) and you can not cast
between them. If you want to link the value of a BoolVar to the
value of an IntVar you have to use a \ref TaskModelIntChannel
"channel constraint". Posting constraints remains unchanged, as
all constraints offer two overloaded versions (one for IntVar,
one for BoolVar).
\section SecChange2Regular Regular constraint
The regular constraint has been renamed to extensional (after
all, it is an extensionally specified constraint). The old name
is still available in the MiniModel module.
If you want to use regular expressions, you have to add
\code #include <gecode/int/minimodel.hh> \endcode
to your file as they moved to the MiniModel module.
\section SecChange2Bool Boolean constraints
In order to make the interface to Boolean constraints more
regular and similar to set constraints, Boolean constraints are
available as rel constraints. That is, instead of
\code bool_and(home, x, y, z); \endcode
you have to write
\code rel(home, x, BOT_AND, y, z); \endcode
Likewise, for arrays you have to write
\code rel(home, BOT_AND, x, y); \endcode
instead of
\code bool_and(home, x, y); \endcode
More information is available \ref TaskModelIntRelBool "here".
\section SecChange2Branching Branching
Values and types for selecting how to branch have been made uniform.
Replace BVAL_* by INT_VAL_*, BVAR_* by INT_VAR_*, and so on.
\section SecChange2GCC Global cardinality constraint
The interface for the global cardinality constraint has been
simplified. The constraint is now called count. Please check the
documentation for \ref TaskModelIntCount "details".
\section SecChange2Sorted Sortedness constraint
The sortedness constraint has been renamed to sorted.
\section SecChange2Linking Linking
Some generic functionality has been put into its own library (\code
libgecodesupport \endcode on Unix systems, \code GecodeSupport.dll \endcode on
Windows). You have to link against this library now.

/**
* \page PageHowToChange_3 How to Change from %Gecode 2.2.2 to %Gecode 3.0.0
*
As %Gecode 3.0.0 is a major revision, your programs that
are written for %Gecode 2.2.2 are likely to require some
modifications before they work again. All modifications are
straightforward, though.
This short summary shows how to adapt your models, for changes to
propagator implementations, etc, please consult the changelog.
\section SecChange3Param Passing parameters
Now everything is passed as reference (Space, Propagator,
ModEventDelta, Advisor, Branching, and BranchingDesc).
The reason for this massive change is to be more C++ compliant
and make the interfaces more consistent (at some places things were passed as
references and at other places as pointers, for no obvious and
explainable reason). Routines that create objects rather than
pass them (such as copy, clone, or description) still return a
pointer to an object (so that it can actually be deleted!).
You will have to rewrite your models and other programs using
%Gecode. For models this is easy enough:
- Replace "(Space* home" by "(Space& home".
- Replace "home->" by "home.".
- Replace "(this" by "(*this".
.
That should do the trick for 99% of the models.
For the other changes, just lookout for the changes in types and
that "this" becomes "*this" now.
\section SecChange3Set Set constrains
Element and convexity constraints on set variables have a more
uniform interface, and the match constrained has been renamed to
channel.
The values for variable and value selection for branching have
been made consistent and extended.
The following values have been renamed:
- SET_VAR_MIN_CARD -> SET_VAR_SIZE_MIN
- SET_VAR_MAX_CARD -> SET_VAR_SIZE_MAX
- SET_VAR_MIN_UNKNOWN_ELEM -> SET_VAR_MIN_MIN
- SET_VAR_MAX_UNKNOWN_ELEM -> SET_VAR_MAX_MAX
- SET_VAL_MIN -> SET_VAL_MIN_INC
- SET_VAL_MAX -> SET_VAL_MAX_INC
.
Tie-breaking and random selection is now supported.
\section SecChange3Files Naming scheme for files
All files with extension .cc have been renamed to .cpp, and .icc
has become .hpp. This avoids conflicts as .icc is typically used
for other file types. All include directives are now specified
using <...> notation instead of "...", so that %Gecode headers do
not clutter the include namespace of a client program.
\section SecChange3 Constrain method for best solution search
The constrain method used for best solution search must be
virtual and takes an argument of type const Space& rather than
Space* as argument.
*/
/**
* \page PageHowToChange_4 How to Change from %Gecode 3.7.3 to %Gecode 4.0.0
*
As %Gecode 4.0.0 is a major revision, your programs that
are written for %Gecode 3.7.3 are likely to require some
modifications before they work again.
\section SecChange4NewBranch Changed branching parameters
The pre-defined variable-value branchings have been extended
considerably and hence some changes are required.
In order to change, you have to add () to all variants of
INT_VAR, INT_VAL, INT_ASSIGN, SET_VAR, SET_VAL, and
SET_ASSIGN. For example, INT_VAR_MIN_MIN becomes the function
call INT_VAR_MIN_MIN() and INT_VAL_MIN becomes the function
call INT_VAL_MIN(). Some of these functions expect additional
arguments and can take also optional arguments (this replaces the
VarBranchOptions and ValBranchOptions). Please read MPG for
details.
\section SecChange4SizeBranch Branchings treat SIZE differently
Variable selection for branching used the quotient of size
divided by degree, accumulated failure count, or activity.
Now the inverse is used. That is, for example, it is not any longer
INT_VAR_SIZE_DEGREE_MIN() but INT_VAR_DEGREE_SIZE_MAX() (that is,
largest degree divided by size).
That looks like an annoying change but is in fact essential: the
strategies using accumulated failure count and activity now could
have run into division by zero issues. And just changing the
implementation is not good enough because the values of these
measures can now be exposed during tie-breaking.
/**
* \page PageHowToChange_5 How to Change from %Gecode 4.4.0 to %Gecode 5.0.0
*
As %Gecode 5.0.0 is a major revision, your programs that
are written for %Gecode 4.4.0 are likely to require some
modifications, yet very few, before they work again.
\section SecChange5Handle Removed Brancher Handles
Brancher handles have been removed as they can be expressed
easily by brancher groups, please consult MPG for details.
\section SecChange5IPL New Integer Propagation Levels
The concept of integer consistency level "IntConLevel" has been
replaced by integer propagation level "IntPropLevel". In most cases
it should be sufficient to:
- search and replace ICL_ by IPL_.
- search and replace IntConLevel by IntPropLevel.
- use the commandline option -ipl rather than -icl.
Integer propagation levels are more expressive than integer
consistency levels. They can also express other propagation
preferences such as speed, memory, basic, or advanced. Please
consult MPG for details.
*/
/**
* \page PageHowToChange_6 How to Change from %Gecode 5.1.0 to %Gecode 6.0.0
*
As %Gecode 6.0.0 is a major revision, you will have to change
programs that are written for %Gecode 5.1.0. The big change is
that the Boolean argument "share" during cloning is not any
longer needed. That means you have to remove the argument from
both the definition of and the calls to the following functions,
where this applies to pretty much all objects used by Gecode such
as spaces, scripts (that means your models), propagators,
branchers, variables, views, and so on:
- in constructors used during cloning, and
- in copy functions used during cloning, and
- in update functions used during cloning.
