class TemporalConstraints

Public Functions

TemporalConstraints(): Default constructor, initialising the temporal constraints to empty, setting mostRecentStep

TemporalConstraints(const TemporalConstraints&, const int extendBy = 0)

Copy constructor, optionally extending the size of the constraints vector to reserve space for constraints on new steps.

Parameters:: extendBy – The number of additional steps to allow space for in the constraints vector.

virtual void addOrdering(const unsigned int &comesFirst, const unsigned int &comesSecond, const bool &epsilon)

Add an ordering between two snap-actions, optionally including an epsilon separation.

Parameters:

comesFirst – Index of the step that must come before comesSecond
comesSecond – Index of the step that must come after comesFirst
epsilon – If true, comesSecond must be strictly after comesFirst separated by a gap of ‘epsilon’ (a small number).

virtual void extend(const int &extendBy)

Extend the vector of temporal constraints to include entries for additional plan steps.

Parameters:: extendBy – The number of new (initially empty) entries to allow space for.

inline const map<int, bool> *stepsBefore(const int &i) const

Accessor function to return the steps that must come before a given step.

Parameters:: i – The step for which the predecessors are desired
Returns:: A map, the keys of which denote the steps which must precede i, and the corresponding keys, if true, denote that separation of at least epsilon is needed.

inline const unsigned int size() const: Returns the current size of the vector of temporal constraints.

inline const int &getMostRecentStep() const

Returns the value of mostRecentStep, the index of the step most recently added to the plan.

inline void setMostRecentStep(const int &last)

Updates the value of mostRecentStep, the index of the step most recently added to the plan.

vector<FluentInteraction> lastStepToTouchPNE

A vector, with one entry per task numeric variable, recording the recent and current interactions between the steps in the plan and that variable.
