russcip

A safe Rust interface for SCIP. This crate also exposes access to the SCIP's C-API through the ffi module. The project is currently an early-stage work in progress, issues/pull-requests are very welcome.

Dependencies

Make sure SCIP is installed, the easiest way to install it is to install a precompiled package from here or through conda by running

conda install --channel conda-forge scip

After which russcip would be able to find the installation in the current Conda environment. Alternatively, you can specify the installation directory through the SCIPOPTDIR environment variable.

russcip is tested against SCIP 8.0.3 but it might work for other versions depending on which functionality you use.

Installation

By running

cargo add russcip

or to get the most recent version, add the following to your Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
russcip = { git = "https://github.com/scipopt/russcip" }

Example

Model and solve an integer program.

use russcip::model::Model;
use russcip::model::ObjSense;
use russcip::status::Status;
use russcip::variable::VarType;
use russcip::retcode::Retcode;
use crate::russcip::model::ModelWithProblem;

fn main() {
    // Create model
    let mut model = Model::new()
    .hide_output()
    .include_default_plugins()
    .create_prob("test")
    .set_obj_sense(ObjSense::Maximize);

    // Add variables
    let x1 = model.add_var(0., f64::INFINITY, 3., "x1", VarType::Integer);
    let x2 = model.add_var(0., f64::INFINITY, 4., "x2", VarType::Integer);

    // Add constraints
    model.add_cons(vec![x1.clone(), x2.clone()], &[2., 1.], -f64::INFINITY, 100., "c1");
    model.add_cons(vec![x1.clone(), x2.clone()], &[1., 2.], -f64::INFINITY, 80., "c2");

    let solved_model = model.solve();

    let status = solved_model.get_status();
    println!("Solved with status {:?}", status);

    let obj_val = solved_model.get_obj_val();
    println!("Objective value: {}", obj_val);

    let sol = solved_model.get_best_sol().unwrap();
    let vars = solved_model.get_vars();

    for var in vars {
        println!("{} = {}", &var.get_name(), sol.get_var_val(&var));
    }
}

The raw feature

You can enable this feature by specifying the feature in your Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
russcip = { features = ["raw"] }

This enables access to the scip_ptr unsafe function in the Model struct, which gives you access to the underlying SCIP raw pointer. This is can be used in combination with the ffi module to call SCIP functions that are not wrapped yet in the safe interface.

About SCIP

SCIP is currently one of the fastest non-commercial solvers for mixed integer programming (MIP) and mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP). It is also a framework for constraint integer programming and branch-cut-and-price. It allows for total control of the solution process and the access of detailed information down to the guts of the solver.
