* spot/twaalgos/gfguarantee.cc: Combine the last letter read
with the first one of the next pass when doing transition-based
acceptance. Also move the initial states to the source of any
accepting transition if the input is deterministic.
* tests/core/ltl2tgba2.test, tests/core/satmin.test,
tests/python/stutter-inv.ipynb: Reduce expected sizes of a few
automata.
This is adapted from a proposition in a paper by J. Esparza,
J. Křentínský, and S. Sickert, submitted to LICS'18. We should add
proper references to the code and documentation once that paper is
accepted.
* spot/twaalgos/gfguarantee.cc, spot/twaalgos/gfguarantee.hh:
New files.
* spot/twaalgos/Makefile.am, python/spot/impl.i: Add them.
* spot/twa/fwd.hh: Add a forward declaration of bdd_dict_ptr.
* spot/twaalgos/postproc.cc, spot/twaalgos/postproc.hh: Make it
possible to call finalize() from the translator subclass. Constify
all the do_* functions while we are there.
* spot/twaalgos/translate.cc, spot/twaalgos/translate.hh: Add
a "gf-guarantee" option to decide whether to use the new translation.
* bin/spot-x.cc: Document it.
* tests/core/dca2.test, tests/core/genltl.test,
tests/core/ltl2tgba2.test, tests/core/parity2.test,
tests/core/satmin.test, tests/python/automata.ipynb,
tests/python/sbacc.py: Adjust test cases.
* tests/python/except.py: Add a couple more tests.
Fixes#260. Reported by František Blahoudek.
The simplification F(f)|q = F(f|q), where q designates an event_univ
formula, was not always applied because of a couple of issue: (1) the
mospliter was ignoring event_univ unless favor_event_univ was set, (2)
when processing formulas from res_EventUniv they were not put back
into res_F or res_G to be subject to the F/G rules.
* spot/tl/simplify.cc: Improve handling of the above points.
* tests/core/reduccmp.test: Adjust and add test case.
* tests/core/ltl2tgba2.test, tests/python/atva16-fig2a.ipynb: Adjust.
Fixes#257.
* spot/twaalgos/degen.cc: Implement this optimization.
* tests/core/degendet.test: Add a few test cases.
* tests/core/ltl2tgba2.test: Adjust expected sizes.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
Fixes#245.
* bin/genltl.cc: Add the option.
* bin/man/genltl.x: Add reference.
* tests/core/ltl2tgba2.test: Use these patterns.
* doc/org/genltl.org, NEWS: Document the options.
