Reporting Bugs

SCIP has more than 270 000 lines of source code and is definitely not bug free.

The standard way to report a bug (English or German) is via the following Bug Submission Page (located at TU Darmstadt).

If this does not work, you can send an email to Timo Berthold, Stefan Heinz and/or Kati Wolter.

Mailing List

The SCIP mailing list can be accessed via the SCIP mailing list page.

Known Bugs

Here is a list of known bugs in the current version:

  • If one uses column generation and restarts, a solution that contains variables that are only present in the transformed problem (i.e., variables that were generated by a pricer) is not pulled back into the original space correctly, since the priced variables have no original counterpart. Therefore, one should disable restarts by setting the parameter "presolving/maxrestarts" to 0, if one uses a column generation approach.
  • Currently, SCIP cannot delete variables from the problem (deleting variables from the LP relaxation is possible) - we are working on this problem. If you need to disable a variable, fix it to zero (if that is a feasible value). This can be done by using SCIPfixVar() or SCIPchgVarLbNode() and SCIPvarChgUbNode() in the branching (see How to add branching rules).
