/** Solver Interface Abstract Base Class

  Abstract Base Class for describing an interface to a solver.

  Many OsiSolverInterface query methods return a const pointer to the
  requested read-only data. If the model data is changed or the solver
  is called, these pointers may no longer be valid and should be 
  refreshed by invoking the member function to obtain an updated copy
  of the pointer.
  For example:
  \code
      OsiSolverInterface solverInterfacePtr ;
      const double * ruBnds = solverInterfacePtr->getRowUpper();
      solverInterfacePtr->applyCuts(someSetOfCuts);
      // ruBnds is no longer a valid pointer and must be refreshed
      ruBnds = solverInterfacePtr->getRowUpper();
  \endcode

  Querying a problem that has no data associated with it will result in
  zeros for the number of rows and columns, and NULL pointers from
  the methods that return vectors.

  /**@name Parameter set/get methods

     The set methods return true if the parameter was set to the given value,
     false otherwise. When a set method returns false, the original value (if
     any) should be unchanged.  There can be various reasons for failure: the
     given parameter is not applicable for the solver (e.g., refactorization
     frequency for the volume algorithm), the parameter is not yet
     implemented for the solver or simply the value of the parameter is out
     of the range the solver accepts. If a parameter setting call returns
     false check the details of your solver.

     The get methods return true if the given parameter is applicable for the
     solver and is implemented. In this case the value of the parameter is
     returned in the second argument. Otherwise they return false.

     \note
     There is a default implementation of the set/get
     methods, namely to store/retrieve the given value using an array in the
     base class. A specific solver implementation can use this feature, for
     example, to store parameters that should be used later on. Implementors
     of a solver interface should overload these functions to provide the
     proper interface to and accurately reflect the capabilities of a
     specific solver.

     The format for hints is slightly different in that the value is 
     boolean and there is an enum to show strength of hint.
     There is also an optional void pointer to allow for any eventuality.
     Hints should be initialised when a solver is instantiated.
     (See OsiSolverParameters.hpp for defined hint parameters and strength.)
     A value of true means to work with the hint, false to work against it.
     For example,
     <ul>
       <li> \code setHintParam(OsiDoScale,true,OsiHintTry) \endcode
	    is a mild suggestion to the solver to scale the constraint
	    system.
       <li> \code setHintParam(OsiDoScale,false,OsiForceDo) \endcode
	    tells the solver to disable scaling, or throw an exception if
	    it cannot comply.
     </ul>
     As another example, a solver interface could use the value and strength
     of the \c OsiDoReducePrint hint to adjust the amount of information
     printed by the interface and/or solver.  The extent to which a solver
     obeys hints is left to the solver.  The value and strength returned by
     \c getHintParam will match the most recent call to \c setHintParam,
     and will not necessarily reflect the solver's ability to comply with the
     hint.  If the hint strength is \c OsiForceDo, the solver is required to
     throw an exception if it cannot perform the specified action.

     \note
     As with the other set/get methods, there is a default implementation
     which maintains arrays in the base class for hint value and strength.
     The default implementation does not store the void pointer, and always
     throws an exception for strength \c OsiForceDo. Implementors of a solver
     interface should overload these functions to provide the proper interface
     to and accurately reflect the capabilities of a specific solver.

    Osi defines three name management disciplines: `auto names' (0), `lazy
    names' (1), and `full names' (2). See the description of
    #OsiNameDiscipline for details. Changing the name discipline (via
    setIntParam()) will not automatically add or remove name information,

    inaccessible until the discipline is reset to lazy or full.

    By definition, a row index of getNumRows() (<i>i.e.</i>, one larger than
    the largest valid row index) refers to the objective function.

    OSI users and implementors: While the OSI base class can define an
    interface and provide rudimentary support, use of names really depends
    on support by the OsiXXX class to ensure that names are managed
    correctly.  If an OsiXXX class does not support names, it should return
    false for calls to getIntParam() or setIntParam() that reference
    OsiNameDiscipline.
