XSLPsetcbcascadestart

XSLPsetcbcascadestart


Purpose
Set a user callback to be called at the start of the cascading process, before any variables have been cascaded
Synopsis
int XPRS_CC XSLPsetcbcascadestart(XSLPprob Prob, int (XPRS_CC *UserFunc) (XSLPprob myProb, void *myObject), void *Object);
Arguments
Prob 
The current SLP problem.
UserFunc 
The function to be called at the start of the cascading process. UserFunc returns an integer value. If the return value is nonzero, the cascading process will be omitted for the current SLP iteration, but the optimization will continue.
myProb 
The problem passed to the callback function.
myObject 
The user-defined object passed as Object to XSLPsetcbcascadestart.
Object 
Address of a user-defined object, which can be used for any purpose by the function. Object is passed to UserFunc as myObject.
Example
The following example sets up a callback to be executed at the start of the cascading process to save the current values of the variables:
double *cSol;
XSLPsetcbcascadestart(Prob, CBCascStart, &cSol);
A suitable callback function might resemble this:
int XPRS_CC CBCascStart(XSLPprob MyProb, void *Obj) {
  int iCol, nCol;
  double *cSol;
  cSol = * (double **) Obj;
  XSLPgetintcontrol(MyProb, XPRS_COLS, &nCol);
  for (iCol=0;iCol<nCol;iCol++) {
    XSLPgetvar(MyProb, iCol, NULL, NULL, NULL,
               NULL, NULL, NULL, &cSol[iCol],
               NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
               NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
  }
  return 0;
}
The Object argument is used here to hold the address of the array cSol which we populate with the solution values.
Further information
This callback can be used at the start of the cascading, before any of the solution values have been recalculated.
