Detailed Description

Base class for Cbc event handling.

Up front: We're not talking about unanticipated events here. We're talking about anticipated events, in the sense that the code is going to make a call to event() and is prepared to obey the return value that it receives.

The general pattern for usage is as follows:

  1. Create a CbcEventHandler object. This will be initialised with a set of default actions for every recognised event.

  2. Attach the event handler to the CbcModel object.

  3. When execution reaches the point where an event occurs, call the event handler as CbcEventHandler::event(the event). The return value will specify what the code should do in response to the event.

The return value associated with an event can be changed at any time.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Events known to cbc.

Enumerator:
node 

Processing of the current node is complete.

treeStatus 

A tree status interval has arrived.

solution 

A solution has been found.

heuristicSolution 

A heuristic solution has been found.

beforeSolution1 

A solution will be found unless user takes action (first check).

beforeSolution2 

A solution will be found unless user takes action (thorough check).

afterHeuristic 

After failed heuristic.

endSearch 

End of search.

Definition at line 87 of file CbcEventHandler.hpp.

Action codes returned by the event handler.

Specific values are chosen to match ClpEventHandler return codes.

Enumerator:
noAction 

Continue --- no action required.

stop 

Stop --- abort the current run at the next opportunity.

restart 

Restart --- restart branch-and-cut search; do not undo root node processing.

restartRoot 

RestartRoot --- undo root node and start branch-and-cut afresh.

addCuts 

Add special cuts.

killSolution 

Pretend solution never happened.

Definition at line 110 of file CbcEventHandler.hpp.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Default constructor.

Copy constructor.

virtual CbcEventHandler::~CbcEventHandler ( ) [virtual]

Destructor.


Member Function Documentation

virtual CbcAction CbcEventHandler::event ( CbcEvent  whichEvent) [virtual]

Return the action to be taken for an event.

Return the action that should be taken in response to the event passed as the parameter. The default implementation simply reads a return code from a map.

CbcEventHandler& CbcEventHandler::operator= ( const CbcEventHandler rhs)

Assignment.

virtual CbcEventHandler* CbcEventHandler::clone ( ) const [virtual]

Clone (virtual) constructor.

void CbcEventHandler::setModel ( CbcModel model) [inline]

Set model.

Definition at line 176 of file CbcEventHandler.hpp.

const CbcModel* CbcEventHandler::getModel ( ) const [inline]

Get model.

Definition at line 182 of file CbcEventHandler.hpp.

void CbcEventHandler::setDfltAction ( CbcAction  action) [inline]

Set the default action.

Definition at line 188 of file CbcEventHandler.hpp.

void CbcEventHandler::setAction ( CbcEvent  event,
CbcAction  action 
) [inline]

Set the action code associated with an event.

Definition at line 194 of file CbcEventHandler.hpp.
