[gecode-users] Advisor documentation ?

[Mikael Zayenz Lagerkvist]

Hi,

When "Programming with Gecode" [1] is written, it will include
information on how to program with Advisors. That doesn't really help
you now of course :)

The general idea of advisors is that they allow a propagator to add
custom actions to modifications of the variables the propagator is
interested in. Several people have asked before on the mailing list
about advisors [2], and [3] is a good place to start.

Cheers,
Mikael
