Thank you for your suggestion and the patch provided. I will add the following API routine: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NAME glp_at_error - check for error state SYNOPSIS int glp_at_error(void); DESCRIPTION The routine glp_at_error checks if the GLPK environment is at error state, i.e. if the call to this routine is (indirectly) made from the glp_error routine via an user-defined hook routine. RETURNS If the GLPK environment is at error state, the routine glp_at_error returns non-zero, otherwise zero. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > 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.
