/**@file   probdata_binpacking.c
 * @brief  Problem data for binpacking problem
 * @author Timo Berthold
 * @author Stefan Heinz
 *
 * This file handles the main problem data used in that project. For more details see \ref BINPACKING_PROBLEMDATA page.
 *
 * @page BINPACKING_PROBLEMDATA Main problem data
 *
 * The problem data is accessible in all plugins. The function SCIPgetProbData() returns the pointer to that
 * structure. We use this data structure to store all the information of the binpacking problem. Since this structure is
 * not visible in the other plugins, we implemented setter and getter functions to access this data. The problem data
 * structure SCIP_ProbData is shown below.
 *
 * \code
 *  ** @brief Problem data which is accessible in all places
 *  *
 *  *   This problem data is used to store the input of the binpacking instance, all variables which are created, and all
 *  *   constraints.
 *  *
 * struct SCIP_ProbData
 * {
 *    SCIP_VAR**            vars;         **< all exiting variables in the problem *
 *    SCIP_CONS**           conss;        **< set partitioning constraints for each item exactly one *
 *    SCIP_Longint*         weights;      **< array of item weights *
 *    int*                  ids;          **< array of item ids *
 *    int                   nvars;        **< number of generated variables *
 *    int                   varssize;     **< size of the variable array *
 *    int                   nitems;       **< number of items *
 *    SCIP_Longint          capacity;     **< bin capacity *
 * };
 * \endcode
 *
 * The function SCIPprobdataCreate(), which is called in the \ref reader_bpa.c "reader plugin" after the input file was
 * parsed, initializes the problem data structure and creates the problem in the SCIP environment. For this, it creates
 * for each item of the binpacking problem one set covering constraint and creates an initial set of variables for the
 * packings. Note that the set covering constraints have to have the <code>modifiable</code>-flag set to TRUE. This is
 * necessary to tell the solver that these constraints are not completed yet. This means, during the search new
 * variables/packings might be added.  The solver needs this information because certain reductions are not allowed.
 * See the body of the function SCIPprobdataCreate() for more details.
 *
 * A list of all interface methods can be found in probdata_binpacking.h.
