35 * In the DIMACS format, the literals are represented by signed integers, 0
36 * denoting the end of the clause. In the solver, the literals are represented
37 * by positive integers, in order to use them as index in arrays for instance.

41 * p ˆ 1 : the negation of the literal
42 * p >> 1 : the DIMACS number reresenting the variable.
43 * int v : a DIMACS variable (v>0)
44 * v << 1 : a positive literal for that variable in the solver.
45 * v << 1 ˆ 1 : a negative literal for that variable.
