Readme for hBDD-0.0.2
A Haskell Binding to some BDD Libraries. -*- Outline -*-
----------------------------------------
This library provides a convenient abstraction of several BDD packages
in Haskell. The intention is to furnish most useful Boolean operations
with a purely functional interface, while still allowing access to the
operational features (like variable re-ordering) via the IO monad.
I have abandoned BuDDy support and am focussing on CUDD. The CMU/Long
binding is of mostly historic interest and has only been lightly
tested in recent years.
* Installing
Install the CUDD and/or CMU/Long BDD packages.
runghc Setup configure --user -p --enable-library-profiling --ghc-option=-auto-all --ghc-option=-caf-all
runghc Setup build
runghc Setup install
You may need to use Cabal flags --extra-include-dirs and
--extra-lib-dirs to point it at the location of the BDD libraries.
* Documentation
Haddock-generated documentation for the Haskell bindings can be found
in the 'doc' directory. CMU/Long's manpage - bdd(3) - is a source of
valuable information. Also the documentation for CUDD is very readable
(albeit obscure at times), and the implementation is quite clean.
