Jernej reported that this solver was faster than cliquer on some instances.
So we need it :-P

Hello,
how do I install the mcqd package? The attached tar.bz2 for one appears to be corrupt..
azi@bodysnatcher:/tmp$ mv mcqd-1.0.tar.bz2.1 mcqd-1.0.tar.bz2 azi@bodysnatcher:/tmp$ tar -xf mcqd-1.0.tar.bz2 bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
comment:4 Changed 9 years ago by
The file looks good to me ...
/tmp$ tar -xf mcqd-1.0.tar.bz2 /tmp$

Nathann,
as promised here are my comments !
- I was not able to test the code since I cannot figure out how to install the module. What am I supposed to do with the tar.bz2?
- Following are some comments about the code/politics:
2.1. The program mcqd consists of a single .h file. Since the author of the code agrees that we can use the program in Sage, is there any reason not to simply put this .h file along with the .pyx module? This way we can also tweak the file a bit (I'd like to remove debug stuff and unnecessary verbosity counters that are present in the code)
2.2 (mcqd.pyx) The variable c0 is a pointer to c. Hence I am wondering, why do you need to allocate memory ? On line 39 you assign the ptr c to it and lose the reference to the allocated space.
2.3 (mcqd.pyx) Lines 30-37. Can they be made shorter by using the fact (is it true ????) that sage_free(NULL) is legal?
2.4 (mcqd.pyx) Can we get rid of the memset by using sage_calloc on c?
2.5 (mcqd.pyx) At the very end C should be deleted.

Yoooooooooooo !

Save it in SAGE_ROOT/upstream/ and run "sage -f mcqd" (on the right branch)
2.1. The program mcqd consists of a single .h file. Since the author of the code agrees that we can use the program in Sage, is there any reason not to simply put this .h file along with the .pyx module?
Yes : the code has not been reviewed. And it "may" be updated, which is why we try not to change third-party code.
2.2 (mcqd.pyx) The variable c0 is a pointer to c.
?... No, it is not O_o
c0 is a pointer to n*n
booleans.
2.3 (mcqd.pyx) Lines 30-37. Can they be made shorter by using the fact (is it true ????) that sage_free(NULL) is legal?
Right. Done
2.4 (mcqd.pyx) Can we get rid of the memset by using sage_calloc on c?
Done.
2.5 (mcqd.pyx) At the very end C should be deleted.
Why ? This is done automatically, isn't it ? You don't have to dealloc objects when nothing else points toward them.

Thanks I'll check that out and report back!

Nevermind about that I was talking nonsense.

n*n

No I am not sure this is done. In C++ there is no garbage collector so whatever you allocate with new you have to dealocate with delete()

BTW, are you sure del is good? Shouldn't you use C++'s delete?

http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/wrapping_CPlusPlus.html C++ objects can now be dynamically allocated with new and del keywords.

I am still not able to run the code :-(

The new code looks good except for a minor question:
Why you use double variables for the adjacency matrix? Is there any benefit from allocating a n*n matrix and using a nested for loop to fill it?
comment:15 follow-up: 16 Changed 9 years ago by
Okay, so I was missing the step of running sage -b. Thanks Nathann for the private email.
As for this ticket I'd just like to hear the answer to
Why you use double variables for the adjacency matrix? Is there any benefit from allocating a n*n matrix and using a nested for loop to fill it?
(as posted above) and if sage -t works for you then we are good to go!!
comment:16 Changed 9 years ago by
Yo !

What do you mean by "double variables" ? Do you mean that I allocate both "c" (linear size) and "c0" (quadratic size) ?
If so, that is because what MCQD expects is the vector c
, which points toward the entries of c0
.

Yes, I am quite confused by that. Following is how I used to (successfully) call mcqd from a *.pyx file, but I don't seem to be using the same convention as you say. I hope I am not bothering you with this I'd just like to understand what I was doing here and what you're doing in your code :)))
def clique_number_fast(G): n = G.order() cpdef bool **adj cpdef int clorder cpdef int *clverts adj= <bool **> malloc(sizeof(bool *)*n) for i in xrange(n): adj[i] = <bool *> calloc(n, sizeof(bool)) # Warning we are assuming the vertices are labeled from 0...n-1 for i,j in G.edges(labels=False): adj[i][j] = True adj[j][i] = True cpdef Maxclique *m = new_Maxclique(adj,n,0.025) m.mcqdyn(clverts, clorder); # Yes, I am supposed to free the entire array but the above is just an indication of what is causing the error for i in xrange(n): free(adj[i]) free(adj) return clorder

I do exactly what you did. The only difference is that I only do ONE memory allocation while you allocate n vectors (all your adj[i]
). Now, you should write a check that all vectors have been correctly allocated, and if not deallocate them all, and this is what I wanted to avoid by allocating just one big vector of size n*n and making adj point toward pieces of it.

comment:20 Changed 9 years ago by
Oh I see it now. OK.
Then as far as I am concerned the code is good to go once you confirm that sage -t passes through for you!
comment:21 Changed 9 years ago by
Well, it does in the graph/ folder, and clearly no other code calls that.
