  /// All emptiness-check algorithms follow the same interface.
  /// Basically once you have constructed an instance of
  /// spot::emptiness_check (by instantiating a subclass, or calling a
  /// functions construct such instance; see \ref
  /// emptiness_check_algorithms "this list"), you should call
  /// spot::emptiness_check::check() to check the automaton.
  ///
  /// If spot::emptiness_check::check() returns 0, then the automaton
  /// was found empty.  Otherwise the automaton accepts some run.
  /// (Beware that some algorithms---those using bit-state
  /// hashing---may found the automaton to be empty even if it is not
  /// actually empty.)
  ///
  /// When spot::emptiness_check::check() does not return 0, it
  /// returns an instance of spot::emptiness_check_result.  You can
  /// try to call spot::emptiness_check_result::accepting_run() to
  /// obtain an accepting run.  For some emptiness-check algorithms,
  /// spot::emptiness_check_result::accepting_run() will require some
  /// extra computation.  Most emptiness-check algorithms are able to
  /// return such an accepting run, however this is not mandatory and
  /// spot::emptiness_check_result::accepting_run() can return 0 (this
  /// does not means by anyway that no accepting run exist).
  ///
  /// The acceptance run returned by
  /// spot::emptiness_check_result::accepting_run(), if any, is of
  /// type spot::tgba_run.  \ref tgba_run "This page" gathers existing
  /// operations on these objects.
