// CLASS: Theorem_Producer
//
// AUTHOR: Sergey Berezin, 07/05/02
//
// Abstract:
//
// This class is the only one that can create new Theorem classes.
//
// Only TRUSTED code can use it; a symbol _CVC3_TRUSTED_ must be
// defined in *.cpp file before including this one; otherwise you'll
// get a compiler warning.  Custom header files (*.h) which include
// this file should NOT define _CVC3_TRUSTED_.  This practice enforces
// the programmer to be aware of which part of his/her code is
// trusted.
// 
// It defines a protected NON-virtual method newTheorem() so that any
// subclass can create a new Theorem.  This means that no untrusted
// decision procedure's code should see this interface.
// Unfortunately, this has to be a coding policy rather than something
// we can enforce by C++ class structure.
// 
// The intended use of this class is to make a subclass and define new
// methods corresponding to proof rules (they take theorems and
// generate new theorems).  Each decision procedure should have such a
// subclass for its trusted core.  Each new proof rule must be sound;
// that is, each new theorem that it generates must logically follow
// from the theorems in the arguments, or the new theorem must be a
// tautology.
// 
// Each such subclass must also inherit from a decision
// procedure-specific abstract interface which declares the new
// methods (other than newTheorem). The decision procedure should only
// use the new abstract interface.  Thus, the DP will not even see
// newTheorem() method.
//
// This way the untrusted part of the code will not be able to create
// an unsound theorem.
//
// Proof rules may expect theorems in the arguments be of a certain
// form; if the expectations are not met, the right thing to do is to
// fail in DebugAssert with the appropriate message.  In other words,
// it is a coding bug to pass wrong theorems to the wrong rules.
//
// It is also a bug if a wrong theorem is passed but not detected by
// the proof rule, unless such checks are explicitly turned off
// globally for efficiency.
