How can I do this? > Bounded reals does not have an equivalent datatype in C++, so it is difficult to convert it to anything. Since it is an actual number rather than a variable with an interval, it is probably not the best idea to return the two bounds. One way to deal with it is to convert it to a (normal) real value (on the ECLiPSe side, using float/2), and return this. This should normally not be a problem, because the two bounds are the same or only differ a little. > Well, to help answer my own question, I can test whether the variable is > real (get_solver_type) and change my eclipse predicate to pick the two > 12.0's (with get_bounds) and return the list as 12.0..12.0 instead of > 12.0__12.0. You can test for bound reals directly using breal/1, and you can get the bounds on a bounded real with breal_bounds/3. >Sorry.

You may want to send any further e-mails to me only, without sending it to the rest of the list, unless you think it is of general interest....
