Detailed Description

Base-class for branchers.

Note that branchers cannot be created inside a propagator (no idea why one would like to do that anyway). If you do that the system will explode in a truly interesting way.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool Gecode::Brancher::status ( const Space home  )  const [pure virtual]

Check status of brancher, return true if alternatives left.

This method is called when Space::status is called, it determines whether to continue branching with this brancher or move on to the (possibly) next brancher.

Implemented in CDBF, Warnsdorff, QueenArmies::QueenBranch, Radiotherapy::NestedSearch, SteelMill::SteelMillBranch, Gecode::FlatZinc::IntBoolBrancherBase, Gecode::FlatZinc::AuxVarBrancher, Gecode::Gist::StopBrancher, Gecode::Kernel::FunctionBranch, Gecode::ViewBrancher< View, Filter, n >, and Gecode::ViewBrancher< IntView, Filter, n >.

NGL * Gecode::Brancher::ngl ( Space home,
const Choice c,
unsigned int  a 
) const [virtual]

Create no-good literal for choice c and alternative a.

The current brancher in the space home creates a no-good literal from the information provided by the choice c and the alternative a. The brancher has the following options:

  • it returns NULL for all alternatives a. This means that the brancher does not support no-good literals (default).
  • it returns NULL for the last alternative a. This means that this alternative is equivalent to the negation of the disjunction of all other alternatives.

Reimplemented in Gecode::FlatZinc::IntBoolBrancherBase, Gecode::Int::Branch::ViewValuesBrancher< n, min, Filter, Print >, and Gecode::ViewValBrancher< View, n, Val, a, Filter, Print >.
