Class IloTransitionCostObjectI

Transition cost objects in Scheduler Concert Technology depend on the classes IloTransitionCostObjectI and IloTransitionCostObject. The class IloTransitionCostObjectI is the implementation class. If you define a new class of transition cost object with the macro ILOTRANSITIONCOSTOBJECT0, it will define this implementation class together with the corresponding virtual member function IloTransitionCostObjectI::extract, and with a member function that returns an instance of the handle class IloTransitionCostObject.

For more information, see Transition Costs.

This virtual function implements the extraction of the invoking transition cost object into an IlcTransitionCostObjectI* by the solver given as argument. Note that this member function must be defined by using the macro ILOTRANSITIONCOSTOBJECT0.

This member function can only be called from within the member function IloTransitionCostObjectI::extract (that is, only in the code of a macro ILOTRANSITIONCOSTOBJECT0). It states that the invoking transition cost object currently in the process of being extracted by the solver given as argument uses the extractable given as the second argument. As a consequence, the extractable given as the second argument will be immediately extracted by the solver currently performing the extraction of the invoking transition cost, which must be given as first argument to this member function.
