Re: [PPL-devel] Generator safety

just a short question:

Are generators and generator systems "safe" in their type?

I am not sure what "safety" might mean in this context.

E.g. if I create a C_Polytope from a generator system consisting of points and apply some operation on the constructed polytope: Is the generator system of the resulting polytope guaranteed to consist only of points?

This is also unclear, as C_Polytope is not a type of the PPL. If by "polytope" you mean a bounded polyhedron, then perhaps the property that interests you is: bounded polyhedra contain neither lines nor rays. Hence bounded polyhedra either are empty or contain points. Does this answer your question? Kind regards,
