What's the problem this feature will solve?
At the moment, the public
verify
andverify_compilation
methods per default automatically orchestrate a combination of all available equivalence checkers in order to provide an automated black-box solution.However, for academic purposes and reproducibility, it might be great to only run a single equivalence checker.
While this is possible right now by appropriately setting the
run_*_checker
configuration options, this might not be intuitive to users and is not very well reflected in the documentation.Describe the solution you'd like
In order to provide more transparency and better usability, it should be possible to select an individual method to be run by setting a single option. In the simplest case, this amounts to creating a new Enum
Method
which might feature the following values for now:auto
: the default as used now. orchestrates all different checkers.alternating
: the alternating checkerconstruction
: the construction checkersimulation
: only run simulationszx
: the ZX checkerRegarding the interface, the
Configuration:: Execution
struct can take an additionalmethod
member and the verify functions take an additional keyword argumentmethod
.Internally, this merely overrides the
run_*_checker
configuration settings.As a result, the documentation of the individual checkers can be extended with a simple example of how to use them.
