[gecode-users] branch function as static member?

[Christian Schulte]

No, as this is implementation defined. When modelling or interfacing one
should not be forced to understand anything from what's under the hood.

On the other hand side, we use overloading rather than static member
functions: there is not single branch function! There are many, depending on
the argument type.

Hi,

currently the Gecode::branch() function is a global wrapper function for 
the ViewValBranching class.
Therefor is my question if it wouldnt be better to place it into the 
corresponding class description as a static member?

Doing it that way it would be clear which Branching subclass is used.

If you agree maybe its nice to introduce the static branch function 
virtual in the base Branching class.

But it's just a suggestion...

;)

Cheers,
Martin
