It is currently quite difficult to use CSDP from another language as there is no API to play with the structures.
In Julia, we mirrored the C-structures and modify them in Julia, see
but this is quite tricky to make sure that the Julia GC does not free the memory used by CSDP and vice versa.
This is most probably the reason CSDP now often segfaults: Sporadic malloc errors with CSDP 4.1 jump-dev/CSDP.jl#39.
This PR adds an API in
lib/julia.c
that can be used by the Julia wrapper. The filereadprob.c
has been refactoried on top of the API.The file
julia.c
is heavily inspired fromreadprob.c
to make sure that the behavior ofreadprob.c
does not change and that this PR does not break anyone's code.The API in
lib/julia.c
could also be used by C users or wrappers from other languages, nothing is specific to Julia. We could rename itlib/api.c
if you prefer.
