XSLPsetcbconstruct

XSLPsetcbconstruct


Purpose
Set a user callback to be called during the Xpress-SLP augmentation process
Synopsis
int XPRS_CC XSLPsetcbconstruct(XSLPprob Prob, int (XPRS_CC *UserFunc) (XSLPprob myProb, void *myObject), void *Object);
Arguments
Prob 
The current SLP problem.
UserFunc 
The function to be called during problem augmentation. UserFunc returns an integer value. See below for an explanation of the values.
myProb 
The problem passed to the callback function.
myObject 
The user-defined object passed as Object to XSLPsetcbconstruct.
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 during the Xpress-SLP problem augmentation:
double *cValue;
cValue = NULL;
XSLPsetcbconstruct(Prob, CBConstruct, &cValue);
The following sample callback function sets values for the variables the first time the function is called and returns to XSLPconstruct to recalculate the initial matrix. The second time it is called it frees the allocated memory and returns to XSLPconstruct to proceed with the rest of the augmentation.
int XPRS_CC CBConstruct(XSLPprob MyProb, void *Obj) {
  double *cValue;
  int i, n;
/* if Object is NULL, this is first-time entry */
  if (*(void**)Obj == NULL) {
    XSLPgetintattrib(MyProb,XPRS_COLS,&n);
    cValue = malloc(n*sizeof(double));
/* ... initialize with values (not shown here) and then ... */
    for (i=0;i<n;i++)
/* store into SLP structures */
      XSLPchgvar(MyProb, i, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
                 NULL, NULL, &cValue[i], NULL, NULL, NULL,
                 NULL);
/* set Object non-null to indicate we have processed data */
    *(void**)Obj = cValue;
    return -1;
  }
  else {
/* free memory, clear marker and continue */
    free(*(void**)Obj);
    *(void**)Obj = NULL;
  }
  return 0;
}
Further information

This callback can be used during the problem augmentation, generally (although not exclusively) to change the initial values for the variables.

The following return codes are accepted:

0
Normal return: augmentation continues
-1
Return to recalculate matrix values
-2
Return to recalculate row weights and matrix entries
other
Error return: augmentation terminates, XSLPconstruct terminates with a nonzero error code.

The return values -1 and -2 will cause the callback to be called a second time after the matrix has been recalculated. It is the responsibility of the callback to ensure that it does ultimately exit with a return value of zero.
