Consider refactoring so that the constraint index is always the same as the csr row index?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
CSR only stores the linear constraint matrix A. Constraint indices are assigned in add order across all constraints (linear and quadratic) for inspection/accessors. Quadratic constraints are excluded from CSR, so constr.index is not always the CSR row index; _constraint_index_to_csr_row maps between them.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Maybe we should keep the quadratic constraints separate from the linear constraints when we call addConstraint to avoid this issue.

This looks like the only place in the code where _constraint_csr_scipy_matrix is used. Are we keeping a duplicate copy of the matrix in memory just to compute slack values? We should be sensitive to changes in peak memory usage. An extra copy of the constraint matrix isn't cheap.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
That's a good point, yes it is mainly for slack and it cuts down the computation quite a bit. We could delete it after compute instead of storing and maintaining.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think if we are only forming _constraint_csr_scipy_matrix to compute the slacks, it would be better for us to compute the slack values in the Cython code and include them in the solution. That would allow us to avoid forming _constraint_csr_scipy_matrix and minimize the dependency on scipy.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Updated. Cython now computes slack and populates the solution object. No regression in comparison to scipy usage.

Validate that each coeffs variable belongs to this Problem.
The new checks validate constr but not the variables. If a caller passes a Variable from another Problem, var.index can exceed len(self.vars) - 1. The value lands in vindex_coeff_dict, and the next _to_data_model() forwards that column index to set_csr_constraint_matrix, so an out-of-range column reaches the native layer instead of raising a clear Python error.

Could this be expensive if we are setting the objective or lower / upper bounds in a loop?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It is ~6ms more expensive for a 10k loop just because it now triggers a function call now. But the setter is important to 1) Mark stale if attributes are directly changed thus avoiding silent discrepancies 2) But make sure that output attributes (that we set after solve for user output) don't mark model as stale

Renaming / MIPStart / type currently all share _stale["variable"], so refresh resyncs bounds, types, names, and MIPStart all together if either changes and causes a _stale["variable"].

Updated cython to make sure we clear it using a new object. It introduced a bug since the current C++ data model once created doesn't have a clear/unset API, so a QP once solved does not clear the datamodel qmatrix even if we update objective to purely linear.

🌐 Web query:
Cython cppclass omitted default constructor new Foo() exception handling except + implicit constructor declaration
💡 Result:
In Cython, when using a C++ class that has no explicitly declared constructor, Cython does not automatically assume a default constructor exists for the purposes of code generation, often leading to compilation errors or crashes if you attempt to instantiate the class [1][2]. If a class has only one constructor and it is a nullary (default) constructor, Cython may allow it without explicit declaration, but it is best practice to declare it [3][4]. Regarding exception handling: 1. Constructor Exception Handling: If your C++ constructor can throw an exception, you must explicitly declare it with except + [3][4]. If you omit this, C++ exceptions thrown during construction will not be caught or translated into Python exceptions, which can lead to undefined behavior or process termination [3][4][5]. 2. Heap Allocation (new Foo()): When you use new Foo() in Cython, the generated C++ code performs a raw call to the new operator. If you have not declared the constructor with except +, any exception raised during the execution of that constructor (or the allocation itself) will not be handled by Cython [5]. Even if the constructor logic is simple, declaring the constructor as Foo() except + is recommended to ensure that memory allocation failures or constructor-internal exceptions are safely translated into Python exceptions (e.g., MemoryError or others based on the C++ exception type) [3][4][5]. 3. Implicit Constructor Declarations: Because Cython requires explicit declarations for exception propagation, relying on "implicit" declarations is discouraged [5]. If a class lacks a nullary constructor, Cython will fail to stack-allocate it [6][7]. Developers working with such classes often use workarounds such as: - Defining a static factory function that returns the object and declaring it with except + [8]. - Using std::shared_ptr or std::unique_ptr to manage the object on the heap, avoiding the need for a stack-allocated default constructor [9]. In summary, you should explicitly declare your constructors and use except + whenever the C++ code has the potential to raise an exception, including during memory allocation or object initialization, to ensure robust Python-C++ exception bridging [3][4][5].

Declare data_model_view_t() with except + in data_model.pxd.
The new data_model_view_t[int, double]() call can otherwise let C++ allocation or construction failures escape the Python boundary.

Add a return type annotation to get_slack.
get_slack is a new public Python method and currently has no return annotation. Annotate its optional NumPy array result, and add the corresponding NumPy import if you use np.ndarray.

Drop "classical LP". It's simply the slack/surplus per linear constraint in row order.
