Purpose
Interrupts the Optimizer algorithms.

Solution Process
Synopsis
problem.interrupt(reason=xpress.enums.StopType.USER)
Argument
reason 
The reason for stopping. Possible reasons are:
xpress.StopType.NONE 
do not stop;
xpress.StopType.TIMELIMIT 
time limit hit;
xpress.StopType.WORKLIMIT 
work limit hit;
xpress.StopType.CTRLC 
control C hit;
xpress.StopType.NODELIMIT 
node limit hit;
xpress.StopType.ITERLIMIT 
iteration limit hit;
xpress.StopType.MIPGAP 
MIP gap is sufficiently small;
xpress.StopType.SOLLIMIT 
solution limit hit;
xpress.StopType.USER 
user interrupt;
xpress.StopType.NEXTOBJECTIVE 
stop the current solve, but continue with solving the next objective (see below);
>= 1000 
user defined value.
Further information
1. The problem.interrupt command can be called from any callback.
2. The range of values below 1000 is reserved for future extension. The behavior of the function is undefined if reason is smaller than 1000 and not one of the values listed above.
3. When solving a multi-objective problem, calling problem.interrupt with NEXTOBJECTIVE instructs the Optimizer to accept the current solution and proceed with solving the next objective. For example, this can be used in the checktime callback to implement a different time limit for each objective. If no solution has been found, no objective fixing will take place. The SOLVESTATUS attribute reflects the status of the final solve: in particular, if the final objective was solved to optimality then SOLVESTATUS will be COMPLETED, even if earlier objectives were interrupted. If a single-objective solve, or the final solve of a multi-objective problem, is interrupted with status NEXTOBJECTIVE, then SOLVESTATUS will be INTERRUPTED and STOPSTATUS will be NEXTOBJECTIVE.
