Fix handling of Boolean term variables (#4550)
Fixes #4446. This commit fixes two issues related to the handling of Boolean term variables: Removing Boolean subterms and replacing them with a Boolean term variable introduces an equality of the form (= v t) where v is the Boolean term variable and t is the term. It is important that these equalities do not get removed. This commit changes Theory::isLegalElimination() to take this into account. The incorrect model reported in the issue was caused by some of the Boolean term variables not being assigned values by the SAT solver when we decided that the benchmark is satisfiable. Our justification heuristic (correctly) decided that it is enough to satisfy one of the disjuncts in the assertion to satisfy the whole assertion. However, the assignments that we received from the SAT solver restricted us to pick a specific value for one of the Boolean constants: Literal | Value | Expr --------------------------------------------------------- '7 ' 0 c '0 ' 1 true '1 ' 0 false '2 ' 0 (a BOOLEAN_TERM_VARIABLE_274) '5 ' _ b '3 ' 1 (a BOOLEAN_TERM_VARIABLE_277) '4 ' _ BOOLEAN_TERM_VARIABLE_274 '6 ' 0 BOOLEAN_TERM_VARIABLE_277 This meant that we had to pick true for BOOLEAN_TERM_VARIABLE_274 but we picked false since we simply treated it as an unassigned variable. In general, the justification heuristic handles embedded skolems introduced by term removal first and asks the SAT solver to decide on Boolean term variables. However, for some logics, such as QF_AUFLIA, we use the justification heuristic not for decisions but only to decide when to stop, so those decisions were not done. This commit introduces a conservative fix that adds a check after satsifying all the assertions that makes sure that the equalities introduced for Boolean terms are satisfied as well. Due to the eager treatment of Boolean term variables when we use the justification heuristic also for decisions, it is likely that we don't really have the problem in that case but it doesn't hurt to enable the fix. It is also possible that this fix is only required with models but it is definitely safer to just always enable it (there could be tricky corner cases involving the theory combination between UF and Boolean terms). Additionally, this commit changes the ITE-specific naming in the justification heuristic to reflect more accurately that we are in general dealing with skolems introduced by term removals and not only due to ITE removal.
