Boolean gate cost with free constants

nonconstantCost charges NOT, AND and OR gates, while constants are free. This is the cost convention used by the mass-production source; ordinary Circuit.size also charges constants. The source's free identity gates are represented by native wiring.

Main definitions

• Cslib.Circuits.Boolean.nonconstantCost: one for NOT, AND and OR, zero for constants.

Main results

• Cslib.Circuits.Program.cost_nonconstantCost_le: this cost is at most the gate count.

def Cslib.Circuits.Boolean.nonconstantCost : Op → ℕ

Charge NOT, AND and OR once, and constants zero times. Designated outputs and wiring are already free in the underlying circuit model.

Ignoring constant gates cannot increase the gate count.
