## Detailed Description

The core implementation of the Parma Polyhedra Library is written in C++.

See Namespace, Hierarchical and Compound indexes for additional information about each single data type.

## Macro Definition Documentation

#define PPL_VERSION_MAJOR 1

The major number of the PPL version.

#define PPL_VERSION_MINOR 2

The minor number of the PPL version.

#define PPL_VERSION_REVISION 0

The revision number of the PPL version.

#define PPL_VERSION "1.2"

A string containing the PPL version.

Let `M` and `m` denote the numbers associated to PPL_VERSION_MAJOR and PPL_VERSION_MINOR, respectively. The format of PPL_VERSION is `M "." m` if both PPL_VERSION_REVISION (`r`) and PPL_VERSION_BETA (`b`)are zero, `M "." m "pre" b` if PPL_VERSION_REVISION is zero and PPL_VERSION_BETA is not zero, `M "." m "." r` if PPL_VERSION_REVISION is not zero and PPL_VERSION_BETA is zero, `M "." m "." r "pre" b` if neither PPL_VERSION_REVISION nor PPL_VERSION_BETA are zero.

## Typedef Documentation

typedef size_t Parma_Polyhedra_Library::dimension_type

An unsigned integral type for representing space dimensions.

typedef size_t Parma_Polyhedra_Library::memory_size_type

An unsigned integral type for representing memory size in bytes.

typedef PPL_COEFFICIENT_TYPE Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Coefficient

An alias for easily naming the type of PPL coefficients.

Objects of type Coefficient are used to implement the integral valued coefficients occurring in linear expressions, constraints, generators, intervals, bounding boxes and so on. Depending on the chosen configuration options (see file `README.configure`), a Coefficient may actually be:

- The GMP_Integer type, which in turn is an alias for the `mpz_class` type implemented by the C++ interface of the GMP library (this is the default configuration).
- An instance of the Checked_Number class template: with the policy Bounded_Integer_Coefficient_Policy, this implements overflow detection on top of a native integral type (available template instances include checked integers having 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits); with the Checked_Number_Transparent_Policy, this is a wrapper for native integral types with no overflow detection (available template instances are as above).

enum Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Rounding_Dir

Rounding directions for arithmetic computations.

Enumerator
ROUND_DOWN | Round toward .
ROUND_UP | Round toward .
ROUND_IGNORE | Rounding is delegated to lower level. Result info is evaluated lazily.
ROUND_NOT_NEEDED | Rounding is not needed: client code must ensure that the operation result is exact and representable in the destination type. Result info is evaluated lazily.
ROUND_STRICT_RELATION | The client code is willing to pay an extra price to know the exact relation between the exact result and the computed one.

enum Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Degenerate_Element

Kinds of degenerate abstract elements.

Enumerator
UNIVERSE | The universe element, i.e., the whole vector space.
EMPTY | The empty element, i.e., the empty set.

enum Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Relation_Symbol

Relation symbols.

Enumerator
EQUAL | Equal to.
LESS_THAN | Less than.
LESS_OR_EQUAL | Less than or equal to.
GREATER_THAN | Greater than.
GREATER_OR_EQUAL | Greater than or equal to.
NOT_EQUAL | Not equal to.

enum Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Complexity_Class

Complexity pseudo-classes.

Enumerator
POLYNOMIAL_COMPLEXITY | Worst-case polynomial complexity.
SIMPLEX_COMPLEXITY | Worst-case exponential complexity but typically polynomial behavior.
ANY_COMPLEXITY | Any complexity.

enum Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Optimization_Mode

Possible optimization modes.

Enumerator
MINIMIZATION | Minimization is requested.
MAXIMIZATION | Maximization is requested.

enum Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Bounded_Integer_Type_Width

\ Widths of bounded integer types.

See the section on approximating bounded integers.

Enumerator
BITS_8 | 8 bits.
BITS_16 | 16 bits.
BITS_32 | 32 bits.
BITS_64 | 64 bits.
BITS_128 | 128 bits.

enum Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Bounded_Integer_Type_Representation

\ Representation of bounded integer types.

See the section on approximating bounded integers.

Enumerator
UNSIGNED | Unsigned binary.
SIGNED_2_COMPLEMENT | Signed binary where negative values are represented by the two's complement of the absolute value.

enum Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Bounded_Integer_Type_Overflow

\ Overflow behavior of bounded integer types.

See the section on approximating bounded integers.

Enumerator
OVERFLOW_WRAPS | On overflow, wrapping takes place. This means that, for a -bit bounded integer, the computation happens modulo .
OVERFLOW_UNDEFINED | On overflow, the result is undefined. This simply means that the result of the operation resulting in an overflow can take any value. Note Even though something more serious can happen in the system being analyzed —due to, e.g., C's undefined behavior—, here we are only concerned with the results of arithmetic operations. It is the responsibility of the analyzer to ensure that other manifestations of undefined behavior are conservatively approximated.
OVERFLOW_IMPOSSIBLE | Overflow is impossible. This is for the analysis of languages where overflow is trapped before it affects the state, for which, thus, any indication that an overflow may have affected the state is necessarily due to the imprecision of the analysis.

enum Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Representation

\ Possible representations of coefficient sequences (i.e. linear expressions and more complex objects containing linear expressions, e.g. Constraints, Generators, etc.).

Enumerator
DENSE | Dense representation: the coefficient sequence is represented as a vector of coefficients, including the zero coefficients. If there are only a few nonzero coefficients, this representation is faster and also uses a bit less memory.
SPARSE | Sparse representation: only the nonzero coefficient are stored. If there are many nonzero coefficients, this improves memory consumption and run time (both because there is less data to process in O(n) operations and because finding zeroes/nonzeroes is much faster since zeroes are not stored at all, so any stored coefficient is nonzero).

enum Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Floating_Point_Format

\ Floating point formats known to the library.

The parameters of each format are defined by a specific struct in file Float_defs.hh. See the section on Analysis of floating point computations for more information.

Enumerator

template<typename PSET >

bool Parma_Polyhedra_Library::termination_test_MS | ( | const PSET & | pset | ) |

\ Termination test using an improvement of the method by Mesnard and Serebrenik [BMPZ10].

Template Parameters

  PSET | Any pointset supported by the PPL that provides the `minimized_constraints()` method.

Parameters

  pset | A pointset approximating the behavior of a loop whose termination is being analyzed. The variables indices are allocated as follows: go onto space dimensions , go onto space dimensions , where unprimed variables represent the values of the loop-relevant program variables before the update performed in the loop body, and primed variables represent the values of those program variables after the update.

Returns
  `true` if any loop approximated by `pset` definitely terminates; `false` if the test is inconclusive. However, if `pset` precisely characterizes the effect of the loop body onto the loop-relevant program variables, then `true` is returned if and only if the loop terminates.

Template Parameters

  PSET | Any pointset supported by the PPL that provides the `minimized_constraints()` method.

Parameters

  pset_after | A pointset approximating the values of loop-relevant variables after the update performed in the loop body that is being analyzed. The variables indices are allocated as follows: go onto space dimensions , go onto space dimensions ,

Note that unprimed variables represent the values of the loop-relevant program variables before the update performed in the loop body, and primed variables represent the values of those program variables after the update. Note also that unprimed variables are assigned to different space dimensions in `pset_before` and `pset_after`.

Returns

## Variable Documentation

const Throwable* volatile Parma_Polyhedra_Library::abandon_expensive_computations

A pointer to an exception object.

This pointer, which is initialized to zero, is repeatedly checked along any super-linear (i.e., computationally expensive) computation path in the library. When it is found nonzero the exception it points to is thrown. In other words, making this pointer point to an exception (and leaving it in this state) ensures that the library will return control to the client application, possibly by throwing the given exception, within a time that is a linear function of the size of the representation of the biggest object (powerset of polyhedra, polyhedron, system of constraints or generators) on which the library is operating upon.

Note
  The only sensible way to assign to this pointer is from within a signal handler or from a parallel thread. For this reason, the library, apart from ensuring that the pointer is initially set to zero, never assigns to it. In particular, it does not zero it again when the exception is thrown: it is the client's responsibility to do so.
