Mark this API change as breaking and add migration guidance.
This change removes the public virtual member. Existing callers using problem.to_optimization_problem(&handle) no longer compile. Previously compiled clients that invoke that virtual member are not ABI-compatible with the changed interface.
Do not release this change as non-breaking. Mark it as breaking and document the free-function replacement, including nullptr handling for GPU problems and exceptions for unsupported implementations.
As per path instructions, public C++ header API changes require migration notes for breaking changes.

Several classes are mostly host code but live entirely in .cu files, which means anything needing their host-side members has to link the CUDA library. This separates them so the host halves compile as plain C++. math_optimization/solver_settings.cu -> .cpp + _gpu.cu (713 lines, 5 CUDA) mip_heuristics/solver_settings.cu -> .cu + .cpp (58 lines, 3 CUDA) pdlp/solution_conversion.cu -> + solution_conversion_cpu.cpp Each split follows one rule: host code moves to the .cpp, members taking an rmm::cuda_stream_view or returning a device_uvector stay in the .cu, and the moved members are instantiated explicitly per-member rather than via `template class`. The distinction matters -- `template class` in the .cpp would emit device ctors/dtors for members the host file cannot construct. The explicit instantiations are guarded on MIP_INSTANTIATE_* / PDLP_INSTANTIATE_*, so each new file includes mip_heuristics/mip_constants.hpp. Without it the guards evaluate false and the translation unit silently compiles to zero symbols. Also replaces thrust::count with std::count in solve_remote.cpp; it operates on a host vector, so thrust was gratuitous. No behaviour change: every moved definition is byte-identical, and all files still build into libcuopt exactly as before.

cpu_optimization_problem_t::to_optimization_problem() was a virtual member on
optimization_problem_interface_t. That put it in the vtable of every implementer,
including the CPU one -- so cpu_optimization_problem_t's vtable held an entry that
only libcuopt can define.
Vtable relocations are resolved eagerly at load time, unlike ordinary function
calls, so this cannot be deferred or hidden behind lazy binding. Any library
carrying that vtable is unloadable without libcuopt.so present.
It is now a free function declared in optimization_problem.hpp and defined in
cpu_optimization_problem_to_gpu.cpp, dispatching on the concrete type:
auto gpu = to_optimization_problem(problem, &handle);
The GPU override was a one-line `return nullptr` ("already a GPU problem"), so the
dispatch is a single dynamic_cast and the semantics are unchanged -- a GPU-backed
problem still yields nullptr. cpu_optimization_problem_t befriends the function to
reach its host-side storage.
Six call sites updated across pdlp/solve.cu, mip_heuristics/solve.cu,
grpc/server/grpc_worker.cpp and solution_interface_test.cu.
Splitting the definition into its own translation unit also keeps
<optimization_problem.hpp> and the raft handle out of cpu_optimization_problem.cpp,
which is otherwise pure host code.

…solution-conversion split Addresses the three CodeRabbit review comments on #1801 that had no C++ regression coverage: the semi-continuous callback-disabling predicate in solve_mip_remote() (extracted into should_disable_semi_continuous_callbacks() so it's testable without a live gRPC connection), the solver_settings_t wrapper members moved into solver_settings_gpu.cu (set_initial_pdlp_*, set_pdlp_warm_start_data, add_initial_mip_solution -- previously only reachable through Cython, which is how the missing-instantiation bug in this PR went unnoticed by C++ tests), and the CPU conversion methods in solution_conversion_cpu.cpp (extended to assert every field, including the warm-start-populated branch the prior tests never exercised).

takes two. Same class of gotcha the file already documents for

…public header grpc_client.hpp is the gRPC client's public interface, but should_disable_semi_continuous_callbacks is an implementation detail of solve_remote.cpp -- it only appeared there so a unit test could reach it without standing up a live connection. Wrong home. Moved to solve_remote_impl.hpp, mirroring the existing cython_grpc_client_impl.hpp, and renamed to should_disable_unsupported per review: the concern is "is this feature combination something the server cannot honour", not specifically semi-continuous. Documented that semi-continuous + MIP callbacks is currently the only such rule, and that further rules belong inside the predicate rather than as new branches at the call site. No behaviour change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Ramakrishna Prabhu <ramakrishnap@nvidia.com>
Per review, the predicate now takes cpu_optimization_problem_t and mip_solver_settings_t directly instead of a pre-extracted var_types vector and a has_callbacks bool. This is what makes the generalized name honest: a new unsupported-feature rule can consult anything either object exposes without changing the signature, threading another argument through, or adding a branch at the call site. It also moves the get_variable_types_host() copy inside the predicate, so it is skipped entirely when no callbacks are registered -- the common case. The predicate is a template now, so it carries an explicit instantiation. Without one the test's translation unit cannot generate it from the declaration alone, and the symbol goes missing at link time. Tests updated to build real problem/settings objects rather than raw vectors, which also exercises the actual set_mip_callback() path. All 5 cases still pass.

**1 of 4** toward a CUDA-free client library (#1802, #1803, #1804 stack on this one). ## Why Talking to a remote `cuopt_grpc_server` currently requires the full GPU stack. `pip install cuopt` pulls `cudf`, `cupy-cuda13x[ctk]`, `rmm`, `pylibraft`, `numba-cuda`, `scipy`, `pandas` and `libcuopt` (which itself pulls `cuda-toolkit`) — GB-scale, onto a machine whose only job is to serialize protobuf over a socket. The motivating consumer is the MCP server in #1701: it imports exactly `Client`, `TlsConfig`, `DataModel`, `Read`, `SolverSettings` — **no `Solve`** — yet installs all of the above. That coupling is mostly accidental. The gRPC client sources are already GPU-free; what ties them to CUDA is that the host-side implementations they need are compiled into `.cu` translation units, so anything wanting them must link the CUDA library. **This PR only separates those**, so #1804 can place them in a `cuopt_client` library whose `NEEDED` list has no CUDA, rmm or raft. ## What Several classes are mostly host code but live entirely in `.cu` files, so anything needing their host-side members has to link the CUDA library. This separates them. | File | Size | CUDA-touching lines | |---|---|---| | `math_optimization/solver_settings.cu` → `.cpp` + `_gpu.cu` | 713 | **5** | | `mip_heuristics/solver_settings.cu` → `.cu` + `.cpp` | 58 | 3 | | `pdlp/solution_conversion.cu` → + `solution_conversion_cpu.cpp` | 225 | 23 | `math_optimization/solver_settings.cu` is the clearest case — 713 lines of parameter handling with 5 lines that touch a stream. ## The rule each split follows Host code moves to the `.cpp`; members taking an `rmm::cuda_stream_view` or returning a `device_uvector` stay in the `.cu`; **every member moved out of the original TU is instantiated explicitly**, because `template class` in the `.cpp` can only emit members whose definitions it can still see. ## Two traps this pattern sets — both hit during development **1. A moved member with no explicit instantiation silently disappears.** An earlier revision of this PR moved the 19-argument `solver_settings_t::set_pdlp_warm_start_data` into `solver_settings_gpu.cu` but instantiated only its five neighbours. The symbol vanished from `libcuopt.so`. It is the overload the Cython layer binds to, so **every `conda-python-tests` config, `docs-build` and `wheel-tests-cuopt-server` failed while every C++ job passed**. There is no compile or link error locally — the C++ build does not use that overload. The check that catches this class of bug in one shot: ```bash nm -D --defined-only libcuopt.so | awk '{print $3}' | sort -u > new.txt comm -23 main.txt new.txt | c++filt # anything here is a lost export ``` **2. Guarded instantiations can compile to nothing.** The instantiations sit behind `MIP_INSTANTIATE_*` / `PDLP_INSTANTIATE_*`, so each new file must include `mip_heuristics/mip_constants.hpp`. Without it the guards evaluate false and the TU compiles to **zero symbols** — no error, just a link failure much later. `nm --defined-only` on the object is how you spot it. ## Risk Moderate, not low — see above. The moved definitions are byte-identical and no build targets change here, so behaviour is unaffected; the risk is entirely in *symbol emission*, which the exported-symbol diff now covers. ## Testing - Full build + all 126 test binaries: 0 errors - Exported symbols diffed against `main`: **no losses** - `ctest`: 119/125. The 6 failures are missing downloaded datasets (`ci/test_cpp.sh` fetches them; I did not locally) — unmodified `main` fails the identical six in a clean worktree. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Authors: - Ramakrishna Prabhu (https://github.com/ramakrishnap-nv) Approvers: - Rajesh Gandham (https://github.com/rg20) - Trevor McKay (https://github.com/tmckayus) URL: #1801

2 of 4 toward a CUDA-free client library. Stacked on #1801 — review that first; the base will move to
mainonce it lands.The problem
to_optimization_problem()was avirtualmember onoptimization_problem_interface_t, so it occupied a slot in the vtable of every implementer — includingcpu_optimization_problem_t, whose vtable therefore held an entry onlylibcuoptcan define.Vtable relocations are resolved eagerly at load time, unlike ordinary function calls. So this cannot be deferred, hidden behind lazy binding, or worked around with a dispatch hook: any library carrying that vtable is unloadable without
libcuopt.sopresent.The change
Now a free function declared in
optimization_problem.hpp, defined incpu_optimization_problem_to_gpu.cpp, dispatching on the concrete type:The GPU override was a one-line
return nullptr("already a GPU problem"), so the dispatch is a singledynamic_castand semantics are unchanged — a GPU-backed problem still yieldsnullptr.cpu_optimization_problem_tbefriends the function to reach its host-side storage.6 call sites updated:
pdlp/solve.cu,mip_heuristics/solve.cu,grpc/server/grpc_worker.cpp, and two insolution_interface_test.cu.Bonus
Moving the definition to its own TU also keeps
<optimization_problem.hpp>and the raft handle out ofcpu_optimization_problem.cpp, which is otherwise pure host code.Discussion point
This trades a virtual for a
dynamic_cast. That's the deliberate choice — the alternative (keeping it virtual and dispatching through a registered function pointer) doesn't work, because the vtable slot still needs a definition at load time. Happy to discuss if there's a third option I've missed.Testing
Full build + 126 test binaries, 0 errors. 111/125 pass; the 14 failures are
