void Gecode::binpacking	(	Home	home,
		const IntVarArgs &	l,
		const IntVarArgs &	b,
		const IntArgs &	s,
		IntConLevel	icl = `ICL_DEF`
	)

Post propagator for bin packing.

The variables in l are the loads for each bin, whereas the variables in b define for each item into which bin it is packed. The integer values s define the size of the items.

It is propagated that for each $j$ with $0\leq j<|l|$ the constraint $l_j=\sum_{0\leq i<|b|\wedge b_i=j}s_i$ holds and that for each $i$ with $0\leq i<|b|$ the constraint $0\leq b_i<|l|$ holds.

The propagation follows: Paul Shaw. A Constraint for Bin Packing. CP 2004.

Throws the following exceptions:

Of type Int::ArgumentSizeMismatch if b and s are not of the same size.
Of type Int::ArgumentSame if l and b share unassigned variables.
Of type Int::OutOfLimits if s contains a negative number.
