There is no guarantee though that the // solver supports all possible model changes. Hence there is not guarantee that // performances will be improved when using this class; this is solver // dependent. Typically LPs have more to gain from incremental solve than // MIPs. In both cases, even if the solver supports the model changes, // incremental solve may actually be slower. // // Implementation of this interface are returned by factories that can be found // next to non-incremental solve functions. See NewIncrementalSolver() in // solve.h and NewSubprocessIncrementalSolver() in subprocess_solve.h for // example. // // Those factories function instantiates the solver, setup it from the current // state of the Model and register on it to listen to changes. Calling Solve() // will update the underlying solver with latest model changes and solve this // model. // // Usage: // Model model = ...; // ASSIGN_OR_RETURN( // const std::unique_ptr incremental_solve, // NewIncrementalSolver(&model, SolverType::kXxx)); // // ASSIGN_OR_RETURN(const SolveResult result1, incremental_solve->Solve()); // // model.AddVariable(...); // ... // // ASSIGN_OR_RETURN(const SolveResult result2, incremental_solve->Solve()); // // ... // // Lifecycle: The IncrementalSolver is only keeping a std::weak_ref on Model's // internal data and thus it returns an error if Update() or Solve() are called // after the Model has been destroyed. It is fine to destroy the // IncrementalSolver after the associated Model though. // // Thread-safety: The New(), Solve() and Update() methods must not be called // while modifying the Model() (adding variables...). The user is expected to // use proper synchronization primitives to serialize changes to the model and // the use of this object. Note though that it is safe to call methods from // different IncrementalSolver instances on the same Model concurrently. Same // for calling factories of IncrementalSolver. The destructor is thread-safe and // can be called even during a modification of the Model. // // There is no problem calling SolveWithoutUpdate() concurrently on different // instances of IncrementalSolver or while the model is being modified (unless // of course the underlying solver itself is not thread-safe and can only be // called from a single-thread). // // Note that Solve(), Update() and SolveWithoutUpdate() are not reentrant so // they should not be called concurrently on the same instance of // IncrementalSolver. // // Some solvers may add more restrictions regarding threading.
