feat(BV): Interval domains for bit-vectors
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch adds interval domains to the Bitv_rel module, as well as
interreductions between the bitlist and interval domains following:

  Sharpening Constraint Programming approaches for Bit-Vector Theory.
  Zakaria Chihani, Bruno Marre, François Bobot, Sébastien Bardin.
  CPAIOR 2017. International Conference on AI and OR Techniques in
    Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimization Problems, Jun
    2017, Padova, Italy.

More precisely:

 - The `Intervals` module is extended to support the `extract`
   operation, which is used to propagate between bit-vector compositions
   and their components;

 - The interreductions are implemented using the new
   `Bitlist.increase_lower_bound`, `Bitlist.decrease_upper_bound`, and
   the new `shared_msb` helper in `Bitv_rel`;

 - Propagations are performed by alternating propagations until fixpoint
   in each domain, followed by interreductions and propagations until
   fixpoint in the other domain, until reaching a fixpoint for the whole
   procedure. It is not clear that this is the best strategy; the goal
   is to try and limit interreductions since they are relatively
   expensive but we should revisit this once more operations are
   supported.

For now, only the `bvule`, `bvult`, `bvugt` and `bvuge` primitives are
supported as built-in bit-vector operations; other operations such as
`bvadd` are still encoded using `bv2nat`. These operations will be
migrated to bit-vector primitives in a follow-up PR.

Finally, there are some tests for the tricky bits (`Intervals.extract`
and the interreduction primitives) using QCheck.
