[Coin-discuss] OsiRowCut question

[Francois Margot]

>From what I understand, it seems that to create an OsiRowCut,
I have to create a CoinPackedVector or arrays with the coefficients and 
indices. Then these objects are copied when the OsiRowCut is created.
This seems to be a waste when the CoinPackedVector (or arrays) 
is constructed only to create the OsiRowCut (something that happens 
constantly with cut generators). Am I overlooking something?

If not, I would like to have a method

OsiRowCut::OsiRowCut(double lb, double ub,
 	             int size, int *colIndices, double *elements);

that creates an OsiRowCut using colIndices and elements as they are,
without copying them, assuming ownership of the memory, 
and setting the two parameters to NULL on return. A similar method
for CoinPackedVector parameter might be useful too.

As I understand the code, this might imply to modify CoinPackedVector
by adding a constructor there too.
