Any way to retrieve the priority levels from an answer set?

[mbalduccini]

Pretty much as the title says... both the clingo executable and the API return the costs as a vector of integers, e.g.

Optimization: 1 2 1

Is it possible to retrieve the priority levels associated with those costs using the API?

This seems particularly important in multi-shot solving, where we have noticed that the size of the vector may actually decrease when new #minimize statements are added to program via the backend.

Thanks! Marcello

406 extends the API to get this info. There is no release yet but the development packages on conda, etc. already provide the functionality.

That's great, thanks! Does clingcon on conda also have it?

clingcon is using clingo as a library. As long as you take the dev version of both, then it should be available.

Great!
