[Cbc] CoinModel Equality?

[Matthew Gidden]

Hi all,

First time caller, long time listener. I'm gearing up the portion of my
research in which I'll be using and comparing simplex and branch-and-cut
solvers versus some naive solvers in our simulation environment [1]. We
require a permissive, open source license (for compatibility with our own -
BSD 3-clause), so the COIN suite was a natural fit.

To the meat of my question:
I've written a high-level API for myself and other devs to use to describe
an problem instance in part of our simulation framework. I would like to be
able to unit test it such that a problem instance it describes is
equivalent to some known problem instance (read in through MPS, for
example). My initial thought was to compare configured CoinModels (i.e.,
builders). Is there an easy way to compare them? Is this the best approach?

I look forward to your response, thanks!
