/* pounce.h — C API for the POUNCE nonlinear interior-point solver.
*
* Drop-in replacement for Ipopt 3.14's `IpStdCInterface.h`. Every
* function name, argument list, and return code matches upstream so a
* caller linking against libipopt can swap to libpounce_cinterface
* without source changes.
*
* Quick-start (C):
*
* #include "pounce.h"
*
* IpoptProblem nlp = CreateIpoptProblem(
* n, x_L, x_U, m, g_L, g_U,
* nele_jac, nele_hess, 0,
* eval_f, eval_g, eval_grad_f, eval_jac_g, eval_h);
* AddIpoptNumOption(nlp, "tol", 1e-8);
* AddIpoptIntOption(nlp, "max_iter", 500);
* enum ApplicationReturnStatus status = IpoptSolve(
* nlp, x, NULL, &obj, NULL, NULL, NULL, user_data);
* FreeIpoptProblem(nlp);
*
* Build & link example (macOS):
*
* cargo build --release -p pounce-cinterface
* cc app.c -I crates/pounce-cinterface/include \
* -L target/release -lpounce_cinterface \
* -Wl,-rpath,target/release -o app
