Subject: More improvements to strings rewriter for regexps, contains, indexof, replace and... 
X-Git-Tag: cvc5-1.0.0~6217
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6343fbb0c9b238aeb1addca6449f95a01071c1ac;p=cvc5.git

More improvements to strings rewriter for regexps, contains, indexof, replace and others.  Enable non-recursive flat form inferences in strings theory solver. Refactor extf reductions. Use non-constant length terms when checking length equality. Add option --strings-eager-len.
