ILOG CPLEX C++ API 9.0 Reference Manual

About This Manual
This reference manual documents the application programming interface (API) of
ILOG CPLEX. There are separate reference manuals for the Callable Library, C++,
Java, and C#.NET APIs.
What Are the ILOG CPLEX Component Libraries
The ILOG CPLEX Component Libraries are designed to facilitate the development of
applications to solve, modify, and interpret the results of linear, mixed integer,
continuous convex quadratic, quadratically constrained, and mixed integer quadratic or
quadratically constrained programming.
The ILOG CPLEX Component Libraries consist of:
◆ the CPLEX Callable Library, a C application programming interface (API), and
◆ ILOG Concert Technology, an object-oriented API for C++, Java, and C#.NET
users.
ILOG Concert Technology is also part of ILOG Solver, enabling cooperative strategies
using CPLEX and Solver together for solving difficult optimization problems.
What You Need to Know
This manual assumes that you are familiar with the operating system on which you are
using ILOG CPLEX.
The CPLEX Callable Library is written in the C programming language. The Concert
Technology libraries are written in the C++, Java, and C#.NET programming languages.
If you use these products, this manual assumes you can write code in the appropriate
language, and that you have a working knowledge of a supported integrated
development environment (IDE) for that language.
