Provides a reified form of the #::/2 domain assignment predicate. This reified #::/3 is defined only to work for one variable and only integer variables (unlike #::/2), hence only the Domain formats suitable for integers may be supplied to this reified #::/3.
For a single variable, V, the Bool will be instantiated to 0 if the current domain of V does not intersect with Domain. It will be instantiated to 1 iff the domain of V is wholly contained within Domain. Finally the Boolean will remain an integer variable in the range 0..1, if neither of the above two conditions hold.
Instantiating Bool to 1, will cause the constraint to behave exactly like #::/2. Instantiating Bool to 0 will cause Domain to be excluded from the domain of the variable where such an exclusion is representable. If such an integer domain is unrepresentable (eg. -1.0Inf .. -5, 5..1.0Inf), then a delayed goal will be setup to exclude values when the bounds become sufficiently narrow.
Calling #::/3 with a range with real bounds eg. #::(X,1.0..10.0,B) will result in a type error.
Note that calling the reified form of #:: will result in the Variable becoming constrained to be integral, even if Bool is uninstantiated.
Further note that, like other reified predicates, #:: can be used infix in an IC expression, e.g. B #= (X #:: [1..10]) is equivalent to #::(X, [1..10], B).
[eclipse 2]: #::(X, [1..10, 12..30],1).
