* iface/dve2/dve2.cc: Adjust to use the new mspool allocator,
and get rid of the std::vector used to store compressed states.
* src/misc/intvcomp.hh: Add an "int* -> int*" interface
in addition to the "int* -> vector<unsigned>*" interface.
* src/tgbatest/intvcomp.cc: Test the two interfaces.

* src/misc/mspool.hh: New file.
* src/misc/Makefile.am: Add it.

* iface/dve2/dve2.cc (dve2_compressed_state): New class.
(callback_context): Deal with general state*s, not dve2_state*s.
(transition_callback_compress): New function.
(dve2_kripke): Take a compress option.
(get_init_state, compute_state_condition, succ_iter,
format_state, state_condition): Handle compressed states.
(get_vars, compute_state_condition_aux): New helper methods.
* iface/dve2/dve2.hh (load_dve2): Add a compress option.
* iface/dve2/dve2check.cc: Add a -z option.
* iface/dve2/finite.test, iface/dve2/dve2check.test: Add more
tests.

* src/misc/intvcomp.hh: New file.
* src/misc/Makefile.am: Add it.
* src/tgbatest/intvcomp.cc, src/tgbatest/intvcomp.test: New files.
* src/tgbatest/Makefile.am: Add them.

* wrap/python/tests/setxor.py, wrap/python/tests/bddnqueen.py:
Clean all used bdd variables before calling bdd_done(), so that
bdd_delref() is never called after bdd_done().  In NDEBUG builds,
bdd_delref() does not check whether the BuDDy is running or not,
and calling it after bdd_done() will crash.

during emptiness check or counterexample generation.

Tag functions with attributes pure, const, or noreturn.

* src/bdd.h (__purefn, __constfn, __noreturnfn): Define
new macros.
* src/bdd.h, src/bddio.c, src/bvec.h, src/imatrix.h: Use them
to tag many functions as suggested by -Wsuggest-attribute=pure,
-Wsuggest-attribute=const, -Wsuggest-attribute=noreturn.

Remove more sanity checks when NDEBUG is set.

* src/kernel.h (CHECKnc): New macro.
* src/kernel.c (bdd_var, bdd_low, bdd_high, bdd_ithvar,
bdd_nithvar): Use it.

a fixed-size memory pool for product_state instances.

instances and their variables.

* src/misc/fixpool.hh: New file.
* src/misc/Makefile.am (misc_HEADERS): Add fixpool.hh.

* src/kernel.h (CHECK, CHECKa, CHECKn): Disable if NDEBUG is set.

Fix declaration of bddproduced.

* src/reorder.c (bddproduced): Declare a longint, to match
the definition in kerner.c.

settings to sub configure.

* buddy/src/kernel.c (bdd_addref, bdd_delref): Disable sanity
checks when compiled with NDEBUG.

* src/misc/casts.hh: New file.
* src/misc/Makefile.am: Add it.
* iface/dve2/dve2.cc, iface/gspn/gspn.cc, iface/gspn/ssp.cc,
src/evtgba/explicit.cc, src/evtgba/product.cc, src/misc/casts.hh,
src/tgba/state.hh, src/tgba/statebdd.cc, src/tgba/taatgba.cc,

src/tgbaalgos/ndfs_result.hxx, src/tgbaalgos/reductgba_sim.cc,
src/tgbaalgos/reductgba_sim_del.cc: Use down_cast when
appropriate.

* src/sanity/style.test: Catch some binary operators not
delimited with spaces.
* src/tgbaalgos/bfssteps.cc, src/tgbaalgos/magic.cc,
src/tgbaalgos/reducerun.cc, src/tgbaalgos/se05.cc,
src/tgbaalgos/tau03.cc, src/tgbaalgos/tau03opt.cc: Fix these.

* src/tgba/tgbaexplicit.cc, src/tgba/tgbaexplicit.hh: Merge
state_explicit and tgba_explicit::state.  In the past,
state_explicit was a small object encapsulating a pointer to the
persistent tgba_explicit::state; and we used to clone() and
destroy() a lot of state_explicit instance.  Now state_explicit is
persistent, and clone() and destroy() have no effects.
* src/tgba/tgbareduce.cc: Adjust, since this inherits from
tgbaexplicit and uses the internals of state_explicit.
* src/tgbatest/reductgba.cc: Fix deletion order for automata.
* src/tgba/tgba.hh (last_support_conditions_input_,
last_support_variables_input_): Make these protected, so
they can be zeroed by tgba_explicit.

* src/tgba/tgbareduc.cc, src/tgba/tgbareduc.hh (format_state):
Remove this useless copy of the tgba_explicit_string::format_state
method.

Client code should always call the destroy() method instead.  (It
was introduced in Spot 0.7.)

* src/tgba/state.hh (state::~state): Make it protected.

The gain is not very impressive.  The runtime of the first example
in iface/dve2/README (also in dve2check.test) is 15% faster.

* src/tgba/tgbaproduct.hh (tgba_succ_iterator_product): Move ...
* src/tgba/tgbaproduct.cc (tgba_succ_iterator_product,
tgba_succ_iterator_product_common): ... in these two classes.
(tgba_succ_iterator_product_kripke): New class to speedup
successor computation on Kripke structures.  We can assume that
all the transitions leaving the same state have the same label.
(tgba_product::tgba_product, tgba_product::succ_iter): Use
tgba_succ_iterator_product_kripke when appropriate.
(tgba_product_init::tgba_product_init): Adjust for the case
where tgba_product did reverse its operands.

* wrap/python/spot.i, wrap/python/buddy.i: Include <cstddef>
because Swig 2.0.2 uses ptrdiff_t and does not do the include
itself.  In g++ most libstdc++ standard headers have been changed
to no longer include <cstddef> as an implementation detail, so
the difference shows.

* src/ltlvisit/reduce.cc (reduce_visitor): Always reduce "a M b"
to "a & b" if "a" is a pure eventual formula, remove the
constraint on "b".
* src/ltltest/reduccmp.test: Add two tests.

* iface/dve2/dve2.hh (load_dve2): Take a "dead" argument.
* iface/dve2/dve2.cc (callback_context): Add a destructor
to simplify...
(dve2_succ_iterator::~dve2_succ_iterator) ... this one.
(convert_aps): Skip the dead proposition.
(dve2_kripke::dve2_kripke): Take a dead argument, and
setup alive_prop and dead_prop.
(compute_state_condition, get_succ): Use a cache for the
conditions and successor of the last state, to share
some work between these two function.  Add loops on dead
states.
(load_dve2): Pass dead to dve2_kripke and convert_aps.
* iface/dve2/dve2check.cc: Add a -dDEAD option.
* iface/dve2/finite.test, iface/dve2/finite.dve: New file.
* iface/dve2/Makefile.am: Declare them.

* NEWS: Mention it.
* configure.ac, README: Remove it.
* iface/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove nips.
* iface/nips/: Delete this directory.

Suggested by Yann Thierry-Mieg.

* iface/dve2/dve2.cc (convert_aps): Allow string on the right
of operators, and look them up.
* iface/dve2/dve2check.test: Test this syntax.

* iface/dve2/defs.in, iface/dve2/dve2check.test,
iface/dve2/beem-peterson.4.dve: New files.
* iface/dve2/Makefile.am: Add them.
* configure.ac: Generate iface/dve2/defs.

* src/misc/timer.hh (reset_all): New method.
* iface/dve2/dve2check.cc: Use it to help valgrind.

* iface/dve2/README: New file.
* NEWS: Mention it.
* THANKS: Add Michael Weber.

* iface/dve2/dve2.cc (compile_dve2): New function.  Compile
the *.dve source if there is no newer *.dve2C already.
(load_dve2): Call compile_dve2 when given a *.dve file.
* iface/dve2/dve2.hh (load_dve2): Document it.
