```
The main issue is that the at-most cardinality constraint should be of degree 1, not 200. Internally, the constraint is an AtLeastCard, so the degree should be size-degree to fix that. However, changing the computation of the degree in PreprocCardConstrLearningSolver line 348 does not seem to fix the problem.
Another (small) issue is that the number of constraints is not correct. According to the logs, there was 4020000 clauses originally. This is the number with would have expected instead of 201.Emmanuel LoncaEmmanuel Loncahttps://gitlab.ow2.org/sat4j/sat4j/-/issues/138Fix WBO issue found during PB 20162018-07-07T05:11:54ZDaniel Le BerreFix WBO issue found during PB 2016A problem with WBO has been discovered during PB16.

Attached are 2 opb files: min-nonbuggy.opb and min.opb
Differences between the files: Both files differ from line 18 onwards. "min.opb" is an extension of min-nonbuggy.opb. Note that both files have same objective function that needs to be minimized.
The first file ("min-nonbuggy.opb") returns correct answer with optimum value as "4" with x12=0, x14 = 0 and x17=0. I agree with this answer. I also verified this by manually solving the constraints and objective function.
The second file ("min.opb") returns answer with optimum value as "5" with x12=1, x14=0 and x17=0. I think this is wrong.
(I am interested in values that appear in objective function only)
This is quite surprising given that - no additional constraint involving "x12" appears in "min.opb". So x12 should be 0 regardless of value of x17. Isn't it? Why is the answer returned as x12=1?

Those benchmarks contain unit clauses.
It might be the case that a propagation by one learned constraint is removed incorrectly (e.g. a PB constraint propagates x which is also a unit clause).
We may need to check in the PB constraint when we remove it if the literals are not propagated by a unit clause, or simply to remove that literal from the PB constraint.https://gitlab.ow2.org/sat4j/sat4j/-/issues/127OPBSolver exports files with empty objectives2018-11-12T16:07:10ZGhost UserOPBSolver exports files with empty objectivesI tried the OPBSolverDecorator for exporting .opb files.

In these cases, the OPBSolverDecorator outputs a .opb format that the command line sat4j-pb.jar does not understand. The text opb file then contains the following line:
min: ;
This is because the "toString()" method does a null-check on the objective function, but it does no empty-check on it. I think my fix for it is suboptimal:
```
if (this.obj != null) {
String objStr = obj.toString();
if (objStr.trim().length() > 0) {
tmp.append("\n");
tmp.append("min: ");
tmp.append(this.obj);
tmp.append(";");
}
}

I am using the WeightedMaxSatDecorator for solving Partial Weighted MaxSat problems. Most constraints are in (weighted) cnf, but there are some cardinality constraints. If I do not want to convert them to CNF constraints, I cannot export a wcnf file but must export something other.
I think the .opb format is suitable for that case. Am I right?
I tried to create .opb output using the OPBStringSolver or the LPStringSolver. Both have the same problem:
The WeightedMaxSatDecorator calls the method "registerLiteral(int p)" on the decorated solver. Since both the OPBStringSolver and the LPStringSolver extend the DimacsStringSolver, the method DimacsStringSolver.registerLiteral(int p) is called, which throws an UnsupportedOperationException.
So, if one of these StringSolvers is suitable for my problem: Would it be a solution to override the method in that suitable solver so that it does not do anything?
An, if none of these StringSolvers is suitable: Is there another way of exporting all input that the WeightedMaxSatDecorator got into a standard file format?https://gitlab.ow2.org/sat4j/sat4j/-/issues/125CP solver provides incorrect results when performing Lexico-optimization2018-07-07T05:11:53ZDaniel Le BerreCP solver provides incorrect results when performing Lexico-optimizationOnce issue #124 has been fixed, the parallel solver res+cp solver still provides a wrong solution (ignore unit clauses in 3 cases) or wrong optimum (in 10 cases) out of the 2688 benchmarks.

As such, it is quite tedious to update all the launchers when a new feature is added to the library (e.g. internal optimization).
The PB launcher does not have any dependency to commons CLI, so is a bit different from the two others.
However, we need to find a central class to perform the configuration of solvers: note that in sat package, the configuration of the solvers is done twice, one in DetailedCommandPanel and one in Launcher.

The parallelization need to move to a higher level to allow this.

When using CNF translation of AtMostK, this is done only by setting some boolean variables.
It is currently not easy to know when that value is reduced, thus it is not possible to take advantage of the CNF translation.

SAT power users use that order to let the solver perform as much simplification as possible.
Here, we receive an exception when the constraints are simplified.
Several options are available:
- do not fix, its a feature, not a bug
- fix be ignoring simplified constraints => no more control of what's going on in the helper, might be error prone
- fix by delegating unit to be the last thing added to the solver: the helper acts as a proxy here. => no more power user control of the helper.
