Hello Jeroen,

could you, please, describe the use case for the patch.

My use case is really for using GLPK through SageMath, which is a mathematical program with an interactive Python interface. I want to convert GLPK errors to Python exceptions. For this I install an error hook and a term hook. But I need to distinguish between normal messages and error messages.

Currently both normal messages and error messages are sent to stdout,
which does not match usual usage of output streams.

I propose to store the information if an error message is written in
env->term_out and to use a new value GLP_ERROR = 2 to indicate an error
message.

This value then should be used in glp_puts to decide if a message shall
be sent to stdout or stderr.

An API function could be provided to read env->term_out. The return
value could be used in the terminal hook function.

Sure, I don't really care so much *how* this feature is added. I implemented it the way I did mainly because it was the simplest solution.


Jeroen.
