1isl is a thread-safe C library for manipulating sets and relations
2of integer points bounded by affine constraints.  The descriptions of
3the sets and relations may involve both parameters and existentially
4quantified variables.  All computations are performed in exact integer
5arithmetic using GMP.

7isl is released under the MIT license, but depends on the LGPL GMP
8library.
