XSLPsetcbslpstart

XSLPsetcbslpstart


Purpose
Set a user callback to be called at the start of the SLP optimization
Synopsis
int XPRS_CC XSLPsetcbslpstart(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 SLP optimization. UserFunc returns an integer value. If the return value is nonzero, the optimization will not be carried out.
myProb 
The problem passed to the callback function.
myObject 
The user-defined object passed as Object to XSLPsetcbslpstart.
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 SLP optimization. It allocates memory to a user-defined object to be used during the optimization:
void *ObjData;
ObjData = NULL;
XSLPsetcbslpstart(Prob, CBSlpStart, &ObjData);
A suitable callback function might resemble this:
int XPRS_CC CBSlpStart(XSLPprob MyProb, void *Obj) {
  void *ObjData;
  ObjData = * (void **) Obj;
  if (ObjData) free(ObjData);
  * (void **) Obj = malloc(99*sizeof(double));
  return 0;
}
Further information
This callback can be used at the start of the SLP optimization to carry out any housekeeping before the optimization actually starts. Note that a nonzero return code from the callback will terminate the optimization immediately.
