Caveats for the options

Here, we document some aspects of the command-line syntax that may be unintuitive or complicated.

Using "preferred operators" with landmark heuristics

Unlike all other (current) heuristics, the landmark heuristics (landmark_sum and landmark_cost_partitioning, see Doc/Evaluator#Landmark_sum_heuristic and Doc/Evaluator#Landmark_cost_partitioning_heuristic) require a special setting pref=true to enable preferred operator support. Hence, to use preferred operators with these heuristics, two things must be done at the moment:

1. Set pref=true in the heuristic specification.

2. Include the heuristic in the list of heuristics in the preferred specification of the search algorithm.
