# put_msgfunc Sets a message routine. void put_msgfunc(lprec *lp, lphandleint_func newmsg, void *msghandle, int mask); Return Value put_msgfunc has no return value. Parameters lp Pointer to previously created lp model. See return value of make_lp, copy_lp, read_lp, read_LP, read_mps, read_freemps, read_MPS, read_freeMPS, read_XLI newmsg The message routine. typedef void (__WINAPI lphandleint_func)(lprec *lp, void *userhandle, int message); Note the __WINAPI attribute. This is important under Windows. It ensures __stdcall calling convention which is required. msghandle A parameter that will be provided to the message routine. mask Any combination of the following values:
MSG_PRESOLVE (1) | Presolve done.
MSG_LPFEASIBLE (8) | Feasible solution found.
MSG_LPOPTIMAL (16) | Real optimal solution found. Only fired when there are integer variables at the start of B&B
MSG_MILPEQUAL (32) | Equal MILP solution found. Only fired when there are integer variables during B&B
MSG_MILPFEASIBLE (128) | First MILPsolution found. Only fired when there are integer variables during B&B
MSG_MILPBETTER (512) | Better MILPsolution found. Only fired when there are integer variables during B&B
Remarks The put_msgfunc function sets a message routine. This routine is called when a situation specified in mask occurs. Note that this routine is called while solving the model. This can be useful to follow the solving progress. Example
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include "lp_lib.h"

      printf("Feasible solution found\n");
      break;
     case MSG_MILPFEASIBLE:
      printf("Integer feasible solution found\n");
      break;
     case MSG_MILPBETTER:
      printf("Better integer feasible solution found\n");
      break;
     }
