[Coin-discuss] CBC applied to maximization problems

[Hart, William E]

I'm working on a CBC wrapper, and I'm not sure how to interpret CBC when it is applied to a maximization problem that is read-in from a *.lp file.  It appears that CBC automatically negates the objective and solves the corresponding minimization problem.

. Is there a way to force CBC to solve the problem as a maximization problem?

. Is there a way to force CBC to indicate that it negative the objective?

Without these hooks, I'm struggling with how to automate the process of converting the CBC result back into the answer for the original maximization problem...
