XSLPsetcbmessage

XSLPsetcbmessage


Purpose
Set a user callback to be called whenever Xpress NonLinear outputs a line of text
Synopsis
int XPRS_CC XSLPsetcbmessage(XSLPprob Prob, void (XPRS_CC *UserFunc) (XSLPprob myProb, void *myObject, char *msg, int len, int msgtype), void *Object);
Arguments
Prob 
The current SLP problem.
UserFunc 
The function to be called whenever Xpress NonLinear outputs a line of text. UserFunc does not return a value.
myProb 
The problem passed to the callback function.
myObject 
The user-defined object passed as Object to XSLPsetcbmessage.
msg 
Character buffer holding the string to be output.
len 
Length in characters of msg excluding the null terminator.
msgtype 
Type of message. The following are system-defined:
Information message
Warning message
Error message

A negative value indicates that the Optimizer is about to finish and any buffers should be flushed at this time.

User-defined values are also possible for msgtype which can be passed using XSLPprintmsg

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 creates a log file into which all messages are placed. System messages are also printed on standard output:
FILE *logfile;
logfile = fopen("myLog","w");
XSLPsetcbmessage(Prob, CBMessage, logfile);
A suitable callback function could resemble the following:
void XPRS_CC CBMessage(XSLPprob Prob, void *Obj,
                       char *msg, int len, int msgtype) {
  FILE *logfile;
  logfile = (FILE *) Obj;
  if (msgtype < 0) {
    fflush(stdout);
    if (logfile) fflush(logfile);
    return;
  }
  switch (msgtype) {
    case 1: /* information */
    case 3: /* warning */
    case 4: /* error */
      printf("%s\n",msg);
    default: /* user */
      if (logfile)
        fprintf(logfile,"%s\n",msg);
      break;
  }
  return;
}
Further information

If a user message callback is defined then screen output is automatically disabled.

Output can be directed into a log file by using XSLPsetlogfile.
