Subject: Give a more useful parse error message for "undeclared variable -1".
X-Git-Tag: cvc5-1.0.0~7287^2~95
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=010ad47b7b3e1909f31525fc45be2c27c1b72e45;p=cvc5.git

Give a more useful parse error message for "undeclared variable -1".

Indeed, "-1" is a valid user symbol in SMT-LIB; this commit makes a small
change to the parser to detect when something like "-1" is used but
undeclared, and adds a note to the error message giving the syntax for
unary minus.
