The reason the LBT parser has to be explicitly enabled is because of
some corner cases that have different meanings in the two syntaxes.
(For instance =t= and =f= are the true constant in LBT's syntax, but they
are considered as atomic propositions in all the other syntaxes.)

The =spot.formula= function wraps the calls to the two formula parsers
of Spot. It first tries to parse the formula using infix syntaxes,
and if it fails, it tries to parse it with the prefix parser. (So

Notice that the different output routines specify in their name the
syntax the output, and the type of formula they expect. Here we are
only using LTL formulas for demonstration, so those three functions
are OK with that (LTL is a subset of PSL as far as Spot is concerned).
However if we input PSL formula, it's clear that the above code will
be a problem. If you want to add additional checks, you can easily

* Additional Comments
** PSL vs LTL
LTL is a subset of PSL as far as Spot is concerned, so you can parse
an LTL formula with =parse_infix_psl()=, and later print it with for
instance =print_spin_ltl()= (which, as its name implies, can only
print LTL formulas). There is no =parse_infix_ltl()= function because
you can simply use =parse_infix_psl()= to parse LTL formulas.
There is a potential problem if you design a tool that only works with
LTL formulas, but call =parse_infix_psl()= to parse user input. In
that case, the user might well input a PSL formula and cause problem
down the line.
For instance, let's see what happens if a PSL formulas is passed to
=print_spin_ltl=:
#+BEGIN_SRC C++ :results verbatim :exports both
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include "ltlparse/public.hh"
#include "ltlvisit/print.hh"
int main()
{
std::string input = "{a*;b}<>->(a U (b & GF c))";
spot::ltl::parse_error_list pel;
const spot::ltl::formula* f = spot::ltl::parse_infix_psl(input, pel);
if (spot::ltl::format_parse_errors(std::cerr, input, pel))
{
if (f)
f->destroy();
return 1;
}
print_spin_ltl(std::cout, f) << '\n';
f->destroy();
return 0;
}
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: {a[*];b}<>-> (a U (b && []<>c))
The output is a 'best effort' output. The LTL subformulas have been
rewritten, but the PSL-specific part (the SERE and =<>->= operator)
are output in the only syntax Spot knows, definitively not
Spin-compatible.
If that is unwanted, here are two possible solutions.
The first is to simply diagnose non-LTL formulas.
#+BEGIN_SRC C++ :results verbatim :exports code
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include "ltlparse/public.hh"
#include "ltlvisit/print.hh"
int main()
{
std::string input = "{a*;b}<>->(a U (b & GF c))";
spot::ltl::parse_error_list pel;
const spot::ltl::formula* f = spot::ltl::parse_infix_psl(input, pel);
if (spot::ltl::format_parse_errors(std::cerr, input, pel))
{
if (f)
f->destroy();
return 1;
}
if (!f->is_ltl_formula())
{
f->destroy();
std::cerr << "Only LTL formulas are supported.\n";
return 1;
}
print_spin_ltl(std::cout, f) << '\n';
f->destroy();
return 0;
}
#+END_SRC
A second (but slightly weird) idea would be to try to simplify the PSL
formula, and hope that the PSL simplify is able to come up with an
equivalent LTL formula. This does not always work, so you need to be
prepared to reject the formula any way. In our example, we are lucky
(maybe because it was carefully chosen...):
#+BEGIN_SRC C++ :results verbatim :exports code
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

#include "ltlvisit/print.hh"

if (spot::ltl::format_parse_errors(std::cerr, input, pel))
{
if (f)
f->destroy();
return 1;
}
if (!f->is_ltl_formula())
{
spot::ltl::ltl_simplifier simp;
const formula* g = simp.simplify(f);
f->destroy();
f = g;
}
if (!f->is_ltl_formula())
{

** Lenient parsing
In version 6, Spin extended its command-line LTL parser to accept
arbitrary atomic propositions to be specified. For instance =(a > 4)
U (b < 5)= would be correct input, with =a > 4= and =b < 5= considered
as two atomic propositions. Of course the atomic proposition could be
arbitrarily complex, and there is no way we can teach Spot about the
syntax for atomic propositions supported by any tool. The usual
workaround in Spot is to double-quote any arbitrary atomic
proposition:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :exports both
echo compare
ltlfilt -f '"a > 4" U "b < 5"'
echo and
ltlfilt -f '"a > 4" U "b < 5"' --spin
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: compare
: "a > 4" U "b < 5"
: and
: (a > 4) U (b < 5)
When the Spin output is requested, these atomic propositions are
atomically output in a way that Spin can parse.
This Spin syntax is not accepted by default by the infix parser, but
it has an option for that. This is called /lenient parsing/: when the
parser finds a parenthetical block it does not understand, it simply
assume that this block represents an atomic proposition.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :exports both
ltlfilt --lenient -f '(a > 4) U (b < 5)'
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: "a > 4" U "b < 5"
Lenient parsing is risky, because any parenthesized sub-formula that
is a syntax-error will be treated as an atomic proposition:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :exports both
ltlfilt --lenient -f '(a U ) U c'
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: "a U" U c
In C++ you can enable lenient using one of the Boolean arguments of
=parse_infix_psl()=.
