Playing a bit here, turns out the A=A+AB and A+B=A+!AB reductions have no effect in 32bit add.  Guess that's what makes it a nice 32bit bijection.

Download logred_v4.zip which will be faster for your application.

You can disable those reduction algorithms by commenting out logred_set_reduce_2_A_AB() and logred_set_reduce_4_A_nAB_n() inside logred_set_reduce()

Been trying this out, so many questions...

1)    logred_set_scanf(a, "a00 + a00");
   logred_set_reduce(a);
   logred_set_printf(a);

Shouldn't that always produce 0?   for me it outputs a00

2) Similarly I would expect (a + !a) = 1
   logred_set_scanf(a, "a00");
   logred_set_not(b, a);
   logred_set_xor(c, a, b);
= crash

3) Haven't debugged enough, but part 2 could be related to this?:
   logred_set_scanf(a, "!a00!b00"); = works
    logred_set_scanf(a, "!a00"); = crash

4) Actually, is there support for numeric literals (0, 1)?  c = a+b is purely symbolic, but during SHA256 you add in those K-Constants which can sometimes help reduce things further.

4) x64 only?  This is giving me heap problems:
#define VAR_T           size_t
#define VAR_T_SIZE_BITS ( 8 * sizeof(VAR_T) )
#define VAR_A_BITS      256
#define VAR_A_LEN       4L   

(worked around setting VAR_A_BITS = 128... maybe this is the source of all my problems? Smiley)
