Hi, all:
    I have figured it out for the initialization problem.
    But now the error is
 "
    Invalid read of size 8
    at 0x45d6ef0: DMOC_NLP::get_bounds_info(int, double*, double*, int, double*, int, doouble*, double*)
    Address ox45d6fe4 is 4 bytes before a block of size 0 alloc'd 
   at 0x4022F14: operator new[](unsigned) (vg_replace_malloc.c:268)"e

   I do not know why?
   Because I have use   Initialize() to allocate the memory to  the variables in get_bounds_info()
   The assignment is like the following
    x_l=(double*)calloc(dim,sizeof(double).....

   Anyone can help this?
  Thank you.
                            Weizhong Zhang
