typedefs#

typedef float spc_

spc_ is real single precision

typedef double rpc_

rpc_ is the real working precision used, but may be changed to float by defining the preprocessor variable REAL_32 or (if supported) to __real128 using the variable REAL_128.

typedef int ipc_

ipc_ is the default integer word length used, but may be changed to int64_t by defining the preprocessor variable INTEGER_64.

function and structure names#

The function and structure names described below are appropriate for the default real working precision (double) and integer word length (int32_t). To use the functions and structures with different precisions and integer word lengths, an additional suffix must be added to their names (and the arguments set accordingly). The appropriate suffices are:

_s for single precision (float) reals and standard 32-bit (int32_t) integers;

_q for quadruple precision (__real128) reals (if supported) and standard 32-bit (int32_t) integers;

_64 for standard precision (double) reals and 64-bit (int64_t) integers;

_s_64 for single precision (float) reals and 64-bit (int64_t) integers; and

_q_64 for quadruple precision (__real128) reals (if supported) and 64-bit (int64_t) integers.

Thus a call to llst_initialize below will instead be

void llst_initialize_s_64(void **data, struct llst_control_type_s_64* control,
                         int64_t *status)

if single precision (float) reals and 64-bit (int64_t) integers are required. Thus it is possible to call functions for this package with more that one precision and/or integer word length at same time. An example is provided for the package expo, and the obvious modifications apply equally here.

function calls#

void llst_initialize(
    void **data,
    struct llst_control_type* control,
    ipc_ *status
)

Set default control values and initialize private data

Parameters:

holds private internal data

control

is a struct containing control information (see llst_control_type)

status

is a scalar variable of type ipc_, that gives the exit status from the package. Possible values are (currently):

0
The initialization was successful.

void llst_read_specfile(
    struct llst_control_type* control,
    const char specfile[]
)

Read the content of a specification file, and assign values associated with given keywords to the corresponding control parameters. An in-depth discussion of specification files is available, and a detailed list of keywords with associated default values is provided in $GALAHAD/src/llst/LLST.template. See also Table 2.1 in the Fortran documentation provided in $GALAHAD/doc/llst.pdf for a list of how these keywords relate to the components of the control structure.

Parameters:

control	is a struct containing control information (see llst_control_type)
specfile	is a character string containing the name of the specification file

void llst_import(
    struct llst_control_type* control,
    void **data,

    const char A_type[],
    ipc_ A_ne,
    const ipc_ A_row[],
    const ipc_ A_col[],

Parameters:

control	is a struct whose members provide control paramters for the remaining prcedures (see llst_control_type)
data	holds private internal data

Possible values are: 1 The import was successful, and the package is ready for the solve phase -1 An allocation error occurred. A message indicating the offending array is written on unit control.error, and the returned allocation status and a string containing the name of the offending array are held in inform.alloc_status and inform.bad_alloc respectively. -2 A deallocation error occurred. A message indicating the offending array is written on unit control.error and the returned allocation status and a string containing the name of the offending array are held in inform.alloc_status and inform.bad_alloc respectively. -3 The restriction n > 0 or requirement that type contains its relevant string ‘dense’, ‘coordinate’, ‘sparse_by_rows’, ‘diagonal’ or ‘absent’ has been violated.

A_type	is a one-dimensional array of type char that specifies the unsymmetric storage scheme used for the constraint Jacobian, $A$ if any. It should be one of ‘coordinate’, ‘sparse_by_rows’ or ‘dense’; lower or upper case variants are allowed.
A_ne	is a scalar variable of type ipc_, that holds the number of entries in $A$, if used, in the sparse co-ordinate storage scheme. It need not be set for any of the other schemes.
A_row	is a one-dimensional array of size A_ne and type ipc_, that holds the row indices of $A$ in the sparse co-ordinate storage scheme. It need not be set for any of the other schemes, and in this case can be NULL.
A_col	is a one-dimensional array of size A_ne and type ipc_, that holds the column indices of $A$ in either the sparse co-ordinate, or the sparse row-wise storage scheme. It need not be set when the dense or diagonal storage schemes are used, and in this case can be NULL.
