Class IlcGoal

Goals are the building blocks of search algorithms in CP Optimizer extensions. Goals depend on two classes: IlcGoal and IlcGoalI. The class IlcGoal is the handle class. An instance of the class IlcGoal contains a data member (the handle pointer) that points to an instance of the class IlcGoalI (the implementation object) allocated on the CP Optimizer heap. If you define a new class of goals, you must define the implementation class together with the corresponding virtual member function, execute, and a member function that returns an instance of the handle class IlcGoal.

For more information, see the concept Goals in CP Optimizer.

This constructor transforms a constraint into a goal. When the resulting goal is executed, the constraint is posted.
