I am using PPL for my project which is related to verification. In this context I require my computations to be exact or, if that is not possible, to be over-approximating. From what I read in the documentation, PPL ensures such an over-approximation, which is nice. I am using C_Polyhedron as my data type and currently interested in using rational arithmetic (mpq_class) in combination with that. From what I see, you can use the mpz_class type for C_Polyhedron, but not mpq_class directly. Is there a way intended to overcome this problem?
More than a problem, this is a precise design decision motivated by efficiency reasons: conversion of coefficients of any kind to integer coefficients is left to the application. There are several examples in the library on how to do that: possibly the simplest one given by function normalize() in demos/ppl_lcdd/ppl_lcdd.cc .
In my current setup I use the double interface, but this requires conversion and most probably introduces rounding errors.
I am not sure I understand the first part of the sentence: which double interface are you using?
Furthermore a usage question: Is there an intended way on how to compute a linear transformation of a polyhedron with a matrix?
Look for the string "image" in the manual. Kind regards,
