FLOAT and LONG flags in code_generator.py/ codegen()

It was recommended by @goulart-paul that I open an issue in GitHub.
Hello,
I am trying to generate C source code with the Python3 tool m.codegen(dir_name, **opts)
. I would like the resulting code to use float
instead of double
and to use int
instead of long long
. However, I believe I am not achieving these settings. The following is a description of the behavior I am experiencing.
Following the documentation, I tried running the following Python3 script:
import osqp
# Allocate problem data and src variable
...
m = osqp.OSQP();
m.setup(P, q, A, l, u)
m.codegen(src, force_rewrite=True, parameters='matrices', FLOAT=True, LONG=False)
The result is a directory with the correct source code. In fact, I can compile the source code with the rest of my project and correctly solve the QP. However, I believe the type of c_int
is long long
and the type of c_float
is double
. I have tested this by printing, for example, as follows
printf( "Test c_int workspace->data->A->i[4] = %d, workspace->data->A->i[4]);
>> Test c_int workspace->data->A->i[4] = 467912
printf( "Test c_int workspace->data->A->i[4] = %lld, workspace->data->A->i[4]);
>> Test c_int workspace->data->A->i[4] = 1
The expected value of workspace->data->A->i[4]
is 1
. I can cast (int)workspace->data->A->i[4]
and then I also get 1
as expected. But I believe this shows me the type of c_int
is long long
.
Furthermore, here are some lines in the file src/include/osqp_configure.h
that seem to have auto-generated with unexpected content. I would expect #define DFLOAT
for example.
/* EMBEDDED */
#define EMBEDDED (2)
/* PRINTING */
/* #undef PRINTING */
/* PROFILING */
/* #undef PROFILING */
/* CTRLC */
/* #undef CTRLC */
/* DFLOAT */
/* #undef DFLOAT */
/* DLONG */
#define DLONG
If I try to manually change this osqp_configure.h
file, I get some compilation errors from the qdldl
library with type mismatches.
I apologize for the long explanation. Any advice on how to correctly use the m.codegen(dir_name, **opts)
Python3 method to generate code with the correct float
and int
typing would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time,

As a temporary solution, the following changes to the autogenerated header files achieves the desired behavior:
// osqp_configure.h
...
/* DFLOAT */
#define DFLOAT
/* DLONG */
#undef DLONG
...
// qdldl_types.h
...
//typedef long long QDLDL_int; /* for indices */
typedef int QDLDL_int; /* for indices */
//typedef double QDLDL_float; /* for numerical values */
typedef float QDLDL_float; /* for numerical values */
...
