Polymakes integer linear programming as callable library

[ren]

Hi,
I am trying to use some of Polymake's ilp routines through the callable library functionality, but I get an error message which I don't really tells me anything.
This is the piece of code I try to get working:

Code: Select all

#include <polymake/Main.h> #include <polymake/Matrix.h> #include <polymake/SparseMatrix.h> #include <polymake/Rational.h> #include <polymake/IncidenceMatrix.h> int main(){ try { perl::Object p("Polytope<Rational>"); p.take("VERTICES") << (ones_vector<Rational>() | 3*unit_matrix<Rational>(3)); Vector<Integer> lo(4); lo[0]=0; lo[1]=1; lo[2]=1; lo[3]=1; perl::Object o("LinearProgram<Rational>"); o.take("LINEAR_OBJECTIVE") << lo; p.take("LP") << o; IncidenceMatrix<NonSymmetric> inc = p.give("LP.MAXIMAL_FACE"); } catch (const std::exception& ex) { std::cerr << "ERROR: " << ex.what() << endl; return 1; } return 0; }

However upon running, it simply yields an segmentation error, and I don't know why.
Not sure whether the following piece of information will be useful to you, but this is what gdb is telling me:

thanks in advance, Yue.

Hi,
Before you use anything from the callable library you need to initialize polymake::Main; and set the correct application. In your case you need to add the following lines to the beginning of main:

Code: Select all

Main pm; pm.set_application("polytope");

Furthermore LP.MAXIMAL_FACE has type Set<int>:

Code: Select all

Set<int> s = p.give("LP.MAXIMAL_FACE");

thanks for the quick reply, I see where me error was.
