user_receive_feasible_solution

int user_receive_feasible_solution(void *user, int msgtag, double cost, 
                                   int numvars, int *indices, double *values)

Description:

This function is only used for parallel execution. Feasible solutions can be sent and/or stored in a user-defined packed form if desired. For instance, the TSP, a tour can be specified simply as a permutation, rather than as a list of variable indices. In the LP module, a feasible solution is packed either by the user or by a default packing routine. If the default packing routine was used, the msgtag will be FEASIBLE_SOLUTION_NONZEROS. In this case, cost, numvars, indices and values will contain the solution value, the number of nonzeros in the feasible solution, and their user indices and values. The user has only to interpret and store the solution. Otherwise, when msgtag is FEASIBLE_SOLUTION_USER, SYMPHONY will send and receive the solution value only and the user has to unpack exactly what she has packed in the LP module. In this case the contents of the last three arguments are undefined.

In most cases, SYMPHONY's default routines for sending and receiving feasible solutions, as well as displaying them, will suffice. These routines simply display all nonzeros by either index or name, depending on whether the user set the column names. See user_send_feasible_solution() for more discussion.

Arguments:

void *user	IN	Pointer to the user-defined data structure.
int msgtag	IN	FEASIBLE_SOLUTION_NONZEROS or FEASIBLE_SOLUTION_USER
double cost	IN	The cost of the feasible solution.
int numvars	IN	The number of variables whose user indices and values were sent (length of indices and values).
int *indices	IN	The user indices of the nonzero variables.
double *values	IN	The corresponding values.

Return values:

USER_ERROR	Ignored. This is probably not a fatal error.
USER_SUCCESS	The solution has been unpacked and stored.
USER_DEFAULT	Store the nonzeros in the solutions for later display.
