Hi, working with the ic library of ECLiPSe I discovered a strange behavior of the solver. In particular, let us consider the following goal [eclipse 2]: K #:: 0..80, X $= 10.2, X $= 3.2 + (K * 0.1). K = 70 X = 10.2__10.2 Delayed goals: 0 $= 8.8817841970012523e-16__1.7763568394002505e-15 Yes (0.00s cpu) Let us now consider another goal with the same constraints of [eclipse 2] but written in a different order [eclipse 3]: K #:: 0..80, X $= 3.2 + (K * 0.1), X $= 10.2. No (0.00s cpu) Changing the order of the constraint we obtain different results. I think that this should not be the case for a solver. Does this behavior depend only on the presence of the value 0.1 (that can not be exactly represented with binary floating-point arithmetic) in the goal or there are other causes? Thanks.
