// [States and Transitions]
//
// Compared to IPASIR we also use an 'ADDING' state in which the solver
// stays while adding non-zero literals until the clause is completed
// through adding a zero literal. The additional 'INITIALIZING',
// 'CONFIGURING' and 'DELETING' states are also not part of IPASIR but also
// useful for testing and debugging.
//
// We have the following transitions which are all synchronous except for
// the reentrant 'terminate' call:
//
// new
// INITIALIZING --------------------------> CONFIGURING
//
// set / trace
// CONFIGURING --------------------------> CONFIGURING
//
// add (non zero literal)
// VALID --------------------------> ADDING
//
// add (zero literal)
// VALID --------------------------> STEADY
//
// assume (non zero literal)
// READY --------------------------> STEADY
//
// solve
// READY --------------------------> SOLVING
//
// (internal)
// SOLVING --------------------------> SOLVED
//
// val (non zero literal)
// SATISFIED --------------------------> SATISFIED
//
// failed (non zero literal)
// UNSATISFIED --------------------------> UNSATISFIED
//
// implied (non zero literal)
// INCONCLUSIVE --------------------------> INCONCLUSIVE
//
// delete
// VALID --------------------------> DELETING
//
// where
//
// SOLVED = SATISFIED | UNSATISFIED | INCONCLUSIVE
// READY = CONFIGURING | STEADY | SOLVED
// VALID = READY | ADDING
// INVALID = INITIALIZING | DELETING
//
// The 'SOLVING' state is only visible in different contexts, i.e., from
// another thread or from a signal handler. It is used to implement
// 'terminate'. Here is the only asynchronous transition:
//
// terminate (asynchronously)
// SOLVING -------------------------> STEADY
//
// The important behaviour to remember is that adding, assuming or
// constraining a literal (immediately) destroys the satisfying assignment
// in the 'SATISFIED' state and vice versa resets all assumptions in the
// 'UNSATISFIED' state. This is exactly the behaviour required by the IPASIR
// interface.
//
// Furthermore, the model can only be queried through 'val' in the
// 'SATISFIED' state, while extracting failed assumptions with 'failed' only
// in the 'UNSATISFIED' state. Solving can only be started in the 'STEADY '
// or 'CONFIGURING' state or after the previous call to 'solve' yielded an
// 'INCONCLUSIVE , 'SATISFIED' or 'UNSATISFIED' state.
//
// All literals have to be valid literals too, i.e., 32-bit integers
// different from 'INT_MIN'. If any of these requirements is violated the
// solver aborts with an 'API contract violation' message.
//
// HINT: If you do not understand why a contract is violated you can run
// 'mobical' on the failing API call trace. Point the environment variable
// 'CADICAL_API_TRACE' to the file where you want to save the trace during
// execution of your program linking against the library. You probably need
// for 'mobical' to use the option '--do-not-enforce-contracts' though to
// force running into the same contract violation.
//
// Additional API calls (like 'freeze' and 'melt') do not change the state
// of the solver and are all described below.
