We alleviate that and introduce IGMaxHS, which is based on the existing solvers iMaxHS and GaussMaxHS, but poses fewer restrictions on the XOR constraints than GaussMaxHS. IGMaxHS is fuzz tested with xwcnfuzz, an extension of wcnfuzz that can directly output XOR constraints. As a result, IGMaxHS is the only solver that reported neither incorrect unsatisfiability verdicts nor invalid models nor incoherent cost model combinations in a final fuzz testing comparison of all three solvers with 10000 instances. We detail the steps required for implementing Gaussian elimination on XOR constraints in CDCL SAT solvers, and extend the recently proposed re-entrant incremental MaxSAT solver application program interface to allow for incremental addition of XOR constraints. Finally, we show that IGMaxHS is capable of decoding quantum color codes through simulation with the Munich Quantum Toolkit.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Incremental MaxSATXOR ConstraintsFuzz TestingComputer Science, Information and General Works::003: Systems TheoryConference Paper not in Proceedings10.15480/882.1356310.15480/882.135632410.15897v1Conference Paper
