mps_writer_t named an unnamed quadratic constraint QC<n> in the ROWS and RHS sections, but wrote an empty name in the QCMATRIX header, so the file could not be read back (QCMATRIX missing constraint row name!).

All four sections now use one QC<n> name per unnamed constraint, made unique against the objective and all other row names. Adds mps_roundtrip.unnamed_quadratic_constraint and mps_roundtrip.unnamed_quadratic_constraints_avoid_existing_row_names.

Walkthrough

The MPS writer now assigns unique names to unnamed quadratic constraints and uses each resolved name in the related MPS sections. Two round-trip tests check generated names and preserved constraint data.

Changes: MPS quadratic constraint naming

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve and verify quadratic constraint names
cpp/src/io/mps_writer.cpp, cpp/tests/linear_programming/parser_test.cpp
The writer retains explicit quadratic constraint names and generates unique names for unnamed constraints. It avoids conflicts with the objective, linear rows, and explicit quadratic rows. It uses resolved names in ROWS, COLUMNS, RHS, and QCMATRIX. Round-trip tests check generated names and preserved model data.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Major · Avoid QC<n> row names that match the objective name. · mps_writer.cpp:256-257

cpp/src/io/mps_writer.cpp:256-257
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Avoid QC<n> row names that match the objective name.

When the objective is named QC0, the writer also names the first unnamed quadratic constraint QC0. The parser checks the objective name before it checks row names. It therefore assigns that row's COLUMNS coefficients to the objective and its RHS to the objective offset. Before this change, the empty QCMATRIX name stopped the reader with an error. With this change, the file loads, but the constraint loses its linear coefficients and RHS. Its nonzero coefficients can also become objective coefficients for variables whose objective coefficient is zero.

Compute the quadratic row names once, before the ROWS section. Make them avoid the effective objective name, all linear row names, and all explicit quadratic row names. Use that list in the ROWS, COLUMNS, RHS, and QCMATRIX sections. The current fallback appears at cpp/src/io/mps_writer.cpp:257, :344, :377, and :505.

1313-1315: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

The test covers the reported regression, but coefficient and nonzero-index coverage are optional improvements.

The q fallback is the zero-based index of each quadratic constraint in quadratic_constraints. The current test places the unnamed constraint at index 0, so it checks the exact empty-name case that caused the regression.

The test does not validate the reloaded linear or quadratic coefficients. Add those assertions if this round-trip test is intended to provide numerical correctness coverage. An unnamed constraint at a nonzero index would also improve coverage, but the inspected fallback uses the same q index consistently for the quadratic constraint’s ROWS, RHS, and QCMATRIX entries. The current test does not establish an independent nonzero-index failure.

This is a recommended test improvement, not a high-severity defect in the fix.

…PS writer

An unnamed quadratic constraint named QC<n> could match the objective or a
linear row name, so the reader attached its coefficients to the wrong row.

1342-1348: Trivial · Data Integrity & Integration · Quick win

Use distinct quadratic entries and assert them after the round trip.

Both constraints use identical quadratic data, and the test does not inspect the reloaded vals, rows, or cols. A regression that swaps the two constraints’ QCMATRIX entries can therefore pass this test. The parser maps each QCMATRIX header name to the active constraint, so distinct entries are required to validate that association.

Update the parser round-trip test using append_quadratic_constraint to give the
two constraints distinct quadratic values and/or row and column indices, then
assert the reloaded vals, rows, and cols for each constraint so the test
verifies QCMATRIX entries remain associated with the correct constraint.
