public TimeLimit(AbstractGlobalSearchSolver theSolver,
                 int theLimit)

Method Detail

reset

public void reset(boolean first)

Description copied from interface: IGlobalSearchLimit

resets the limit (the counter run from now on)

Specified by:

reset in interface IGlobalSearchLimit

Overrides:

reset in class AbstractGlobalSearchLimit

Parameters:

first - true for the very first initialization, false for subsequent ones

newNode

public boolean newNode(AbstractGlobalSearchSolver solver)

Description copied from interface: IGlobalSearchLimit

notify the limit object whenever a new node is created in the search tree

Parameters:

solver - the controller of the search exploration, managing the limit

Returns:

true if the limit accepts the creation of the new node, false otherwise

endNode

public boolean endNode(AbstractGlobalSearchSolver solver)

Description copied from interface: IGlobalSearchLimit

notify the limit object whenever the search closes a node in the search tree

Parameters:

solver - the controller of the search exploration, managing the limit

Returns:

true if the limit accepts the death of the new node, false otherwise
