 * @brief  pseudo-Boolean file reader (opb format)
 * @author Stefan Heinz
 * @author Michael Winkler
 *
 * This file reader parses the @a opb format and is also used by the @a wbo reader for the @a wbo format. For a
 * detailed description of this format see
 *
 * - http://www.cril.univ-artois.fr/PB07/solver_req.html
 * - http://www.cril.univ-artois.fr/PB10/format.pdf
 *
 * The syntax of the input file format can be described by a simple Backus-Naur
 *  form. <formula> is the start symbol of this grammar.
 *
 *  <formula>::= <sequence_of_comments>
 *               [<objective>] | [<softheader>]
 *               <sequence_of_comments_or_constraints>
 *
 *  <sequence_of_comments>::= <comment> [<sequence_of_comments>]
 *  <comment>::= "*" <any_sequence_of_characters_other_than_EOL> <EOL>
 *  <sequence_of_comments_or_constraints>::=<comment_or_constraint> [<sequence_of_comments_or_constraints>]
 *  <comment_or_constraint>::=<comment>|<constraint>
 *
 *  <objective>::= "min:" <zeroOrMoreSpace> <sum>  ";"
 *  <constraint>::= <sum> <relational_operator> <zeroOrMoreSpace> <integer> <zeroOrMoreSpace> ";"
 *
 *  <sum>::= <weightedterm> | <weightedterm> <sum>
 *  <weightedterm>::= <integer> <oneOrMoreSpace> <term> <oneOrMoreSpace>
 *
 *  <integer>::= <unsigned_integer> | "+" <unsigned_integer> | "-" <unsigned_integer>
 *  <unsigned_integer>::= <digit> | <digit><unsigned_integer>
 *
 *  <relational_operator>::= ">=" | "="
 *
 *  <variablename>::= "x" <unsigned_integer>
 *
 *  <oneOrMoreSpace>::= " " [<oneOrMoreSpace>]
 *  <zeroOrMoreSpace>::= [" " <zeroOrMoreSpace>]
 *
 *  For linear pseudo-Boolean instances, <term> is defined as
 *
 *  <term>::=<variablename>
 *
 *  For non-linear instances, <term> is defined as
 *
 *  <term>::= <oneOrMoreLiterals>
 *  <oneOrMoreLiterals>::= <literal> | <literal> <oneOrMoreSpace> <oneOrMoreLiterals>
 *  <literal>::= <variablename> | "~"<variablename>
 *
 * For wbo-files are the following additional/changed things possible.
 *
 *  <softheader>::= "soft:" [<unsigned integer>] ";"
 *
 *  <comment_or_constraint>::=<comment>|<constraint>|<softconstraint>
 *
 *  <softconstraint>::= "[" <zeroOrMoreSpace> <unsigned integer> <zeroOrMoreSpace> "]" <constraint>
 *
 */

/* Our parser should also be lax by handling variable names and it's possible to read doubles instead of integer and
 * possible some more :). */
