I noticed an inconsistency in my (ECLiPSe) documentation for the count (for single values) constraint in the Gecode interface, and the current Gecode reference documentation for these constraints:

count(home, x, y, INT_EQ, z)

this is for IntVarArg x, while y and z can be int or IntVar

My documentation states that the constraint can be posted with ICL_DOM.
but this seems to be inconstent with the current reference documentation.

Looking at Gecode's reference documentation, it seems that depending on if y and z are int or IntVar, either the constraint is propagated at ICL_DEF only (not achieving domain consistency), or at two different consistency levels:

ICL_DOM, which does stronger propagation (but not domain consistent), and less propagation with all other IntConLev.

So if I understand the reference documentation correctly, ICL_DOM is used only to distinguish it from an alternative that perform less propagation (where the alternative exist, otherwise there is only one level of propagation). How does the propagation achived compared to bound and value consistencies?

I also noticed a minor typo in the reference documentation: in at least two places, domain is spelt as comain, as in 'propagation is not comain consistent'.

Cheers,
