// This file defines the needed classes to efficiently perform Local Search in
// Bop.
// Local Search is a technique used to locally improve an existing solution by
// flipping a limited number of variables. To be successful the produced
// solution has to satisfy all constraints of the problem and improve the
// objective cost.
//
// The class BopLocalSearchOptimizer is the only public interface for Local
// Search in Bop. For unit-testing purposes this file also contains the four
// internal classes AssignmentAndConstraintFeasibilityMaintainer,
// OneFlipConstraintRepairer, SatWrapper and LocalSearchAssignmentIterator.
// They are implementation details and should not be used outside of bop_ls.
