[Coin-discuss] const generateCuts(...)

[Yan Xu]

Hi, I am trying to derive a cut generator and have a problem with 
generateCuts(...). It is decared as a constant member function, like

CglCutGenerator::generateCuts(const OsiSolverInterface & si, OsiCuts & 
cs) const

which means that generateCuts does not change the data of the class. 
But, I do not see the reason why it can not modify the date of the class.

My generateCuts(...) does need the ability to change the data in the 
class for certain reasons. Anyone knows how to resolve this problem 
except for declaring an overloaded non-const generateCuts(...)? Thanks.
