Closes #184.

Adds a C API function plus an environment variable for solver log control:

  • cuOptSetLogCallback(settings, callback, user_data) — registers a callback invoked once per standard solver log line (in addition to any console/file sink). Pass NULL to clear.
  • CUOPT_LOG_LEVEL environment variable — overrides log verbosity at runtime (TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, CRITICAL, OFF, case-insensitive). Bounded by the compile-time LIBCUOPT_LOGGING_LEVEL (default INFO): lowering verbosity always works, raising it above the build level has no effect since those statements are compiled out.

No log level is exposed through the API (per @chris-maes's review). There is no cuOptSetLogLevel, no level enum, and the callback carries no severity:

typedef void (*cuOptLogCallback)(const char* message, void* user_data);

Callers receive the lines the solver would print to the console and nothing else — debug and trace are filtered in the log bridge, so internal diagnostics cannot reach user code even in a build with a lower LIBCUOPT_LOGGING_LEVEL. Verbosity is controlled by the env var rather than a setter.

Design: the callback is stored in solver_settings_handle_t and installed as a rapids_logger::callback_sink_mt via a RAII scope guard in cuOptSolve, so init_logger_t picks it up without changes to the C++ internal solver-settings structs. Registration is thread-local, so the bridge reads state owned by the solving thread.

Scope note: cuOpt's standard solver output is emitted at info (CUOPT_LOG_INFO covers "Solve status", "PDLP finished" and the progress table, ~153 call sites), so the cut is at info — filtering it out would leave the callback with nothing to deliver. Separating user-facing output from internal info diagnostics would mean auditing those call sites and is not attempted here.

Testing

  • C_API_TEST covers callback delivery, clearing (NULL), user-data forwarding, and multiple settings objects.
  • Built and tested locally in a repo-local conda env on an RTX 8000: C_API_TEST passes, ci/check_symbols.sh clean, cuOptSetLogCallback verified exported.
  • C_API_TEST asserts the callback fires at least once during a solve and stops after clearing, so thread-local routing still delivers real solver output.
  • CpuOnlyWithServerTest.log_callback_remote forks a real cuopt_grpc_server and asserts a line from the server's solver log reaches the callback — a bare call-count check would pass even with no forwarding, since the client emits its own lines.
  • Not covered: concurrent solves with different callbacks, which need two threads solving at once.

Docs

No user-guide changes. The header documents the callback contract, including that message formatting is not a stable API.

Concurrency

Closes #1752. Registration is thread-local, held for the duration of cuOptSolve, and the bridge sink is always installed (it no-ops unless the logging thread has a registration). Delivery depends only on which thread is logging, so concurrent solves cannot capture each other's callback and a solve that reuses an existing logger guard still gets its own callback.

Log lines emitted on internal worker threads are not delivered, since those threads carry no registration.

Remote solves

With CUOPT_REMOTE_HOST/CUOPT_REMOTE_PORT set, the solve runs on a cuopt_grpc_server and the server's log is streamed back to the callback, so registration behaves the same locally and remotely. Previously the streamed log went only to stdout/log file and the callback saw just the local lines.

Covered by CpuOnlyWithServerTest.log_callback_remote. Reverting the forwarding makes it fail with "delivered 1 lines but none from the server's solver log".

The callback runs on the calling thread for a local solve and on the log-streaming thread for a remote one; this is documented on cuOptLogCallback.

Adds two new C API functions to address #1536 and #184:

- cuOptSetLogCallback(settings, callback, user_data): registers a
  per-line log callback. Invoked once per log line in addition to any
  console/file sink already enabled. Pass NULL to clear.
- cuOptSetLogLevel(settings, level): overrides log verbosity using the
  new CUOPT_LOG_LEVEL_* constants (TRACE…OFF) in constants.h.

Internally, the callback is stored in solver_settings_handle_t and
installed as a rapids_logger::callback_sink_mt via a RAII scope guard
in cuOptSolve, so init_logger_t picks it up without any changes to the
C++ internal solver-settings structs. The pending globals are protected
by the existing g_guard_mutex that already serialises init_logger_t
construction.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The C API callback now receives only log messages and user data. Solver log-level overrides are removed. Logger initialization manages callback state across solves, parses CUOPT_LOG_LEVEL, and updates callback tests.

Changes

Solver logging configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Logging API contracts
cpp/include/cuopt/mathematical_optimization/cuopt_c.h, cpp/src/utilities/logger.hpp
The callback signature and documentation now define message and user-data delivery without severity. C API declarations use default visibility.
Logger runtime configuration
cpp/src/utilities/logger.cpp, cpp/src/mip_heuristics/*.cu
The logger parses CUOPT_LOG_LEVEL, manages callback state and ownership, and uses RAPIDS logger level guards.
Solver settings and solve lifecycle
cpp/src/pdlp/cuopt_c.cpp
Solver settings store callback state. cuOptSolve installs and clears pending callback state.
C API callback validation
cpp/tests/linear_programming/c_api_tests/*
Tests update callback helpers, remove log-level tests, and verify callback delivery, clearing, user data, and isolation across solves.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 351de

The change adds solver log callbacks and environment-controlled verbosity, with a bounded compatibility concern because existing compiled clients may need migration guidance for the public callback API. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up on that guidance.

Possibly related issues

  • NVIDIA/cuopt issue 1752 — The changes update the shared pending-callback and logger lifecycle involved in callback leakage, but the provided context states that concurrent-solve clobbering remains unresolved.

CI Test Summary

✅ All 31 test job(s) passed.

Fix a data race flagged in PR review: user_log_bridge was reading
g_pending_callback (a mutable global) without any lock, creating a
potential race against clear_pending_log_callback() called from
cuOptSolve's RAII scope guard.

Fix: capture the callback + user_data immutably into the
logger_config_guard at init_logger_t construction time. The bridge now
reads g_active_log_callback, a stable pointer into the guard's owned
state. The pointer is only nulled after reset_default_logger() removes
the sink (which blocks until all in-flight bridge calls complete), so
there is no race window.

Also adds a @warning to cuOptLogCallback documenting that log message
formatting is not a stable API and the callback is intended for display
purposes, not for parsing solver events programmatically.

Tests added (c_api_test.c):
- log_callback: verifies callback is invoked and user_data is forwarded
- log_callback_cleared: verifies NULL callback produces no calls
- log_level_off: verifies CUOPT_LOG_LEVEL_OFF silences all messages
- log_level_invalid: verifies out-of-range levels are rejected

Addressed — no log level is exposed through the API at all now, per your Slack comments as well.

  • The constants.h level enum and cuOptSetLogLevel are gone; this PR no longer touches constants.h.
  • The callback itself no longer carries severity:
-typedef void (*cuOptLogCallback)(int level, const char* message, void* user_data);
+typedef void (*cuOptLogCallback)(const char* message, void* user_data);

There is now no enum, no numeric mapping, and nothing for callers to branch on. The previous version tried to handle this with a doc comment ("not a stable programmatic API"), which does not stop code being written against a value it can see.

  • The bridge also filters below info, so debug and trace never reach user code. That previously held only by accident of the build — CUOPT_LOG_ACTIVE_LEVEL defaults to INFO so those statements are compiled out, but a lower-level build, or CUOPT_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG against one, would have routed internal diagnostics into a user callback.

One judgement call worth your view. You said the callback should fire only on a standard log line and that no code should see our debug and info messages. Those cannot both hold literally here: cuOpt's standard solver output is emitted at infoCUOPT_LOG_INFO covers "Solve status", "PDLP finished" and the progress table, roughly 153 call sites (level census: TRACE 109, DEBUG 295, INFO 153, WARN 13, ERROR 46). Filtering info out would leave the callback with essentially nothing to deliver.

So I read "debug and info" as internal diagnostics and cut at info: callers get what the console would show, and nothing below it. If you meant something stricter — a dedicated user-log channel separate from info diagnostics — that means auditing those ~153 sites and splitting them, which I would rather do as a follow-up than fold in here. Happy to go that way if you prefer.

I think we should discuss before merging. I'm supportive of adding an API like
cuOptSetLogCallback. But I don't think we should expose the different log levels to the user. These log levels are really more for developers and debugging. I'm fine with having an environmental variable that can change the log level.

Updated, so removed set level and provided an option. in env to choose from existing levels.

Per review (chris-maes): log levels are developer/debug-facing and should
not be part of the public C API. Remove cuOptSetLogLevel and the public
CUOPT_LOG_LEVEL_* constants; keep cuOptSetLogCallback. Verbosity is now
controlled at runtime by the CUOPT_LOG_LEVEL environment variable
(TRACE..OFF, case-insensitive), read in default_level().

- Point two mip_heuristics #if guards at RAPIDS_LOGGER_LOG_LEVEL_* instead
  of the removed CUOPT_LOG_LEVEL_*, fixing a pre-existing latent bug where
  those undefined macros evaluated to 0.
- Replace the log-level unit tests with a cross-solve callback-lifecycle
  regression (CodeRabbit).

206-230: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Bind callback configuration to each solve, not global pending state.

A concurrent solve can overwrite g_pending_callback after another solve publishes it but before its init_logger_t consumes it. Also, a second init_logger_t reuses g_active_guard, so its logs can invoke the first solve’s callback/user data. This regresses the previously reported cross-solve configuration race.

  • cpp/src/utilities/logger.cpp#L206-L230: remove process-global pending callback ownership; capture configuration in a solve-scoped logger instance, or explicitly serialize logger configuration for the full solve lifetime.
  • cpp/src/pdlp/cuopt_c.cpp#L1162-L1177: pass the callback configuration directly into that solve’s logger lifecycle rather than publishing it before initialization; add an overlapping-solves regression test.

As per path instructions, “watch for thread-safety issues introduced by module-level/static pending callback storage (HIGH concurrency).”

…utput only

Addresses review feedback from @chris-maes: log levels should not be
exposed through the API, and the callback should fire only on a standard
log line.

The level parameter is gone from cuOptLogCallback:

  -typedef void (*cuOptLogCallback)(int level, const char* message, void* user_data);
  +typedef void (*cuOptLogCallback)(const char* message, void* user_data);

There is now no severity anywhere in the C surface -- no enum, no numeric
mapping, nothing for callers to branch on. The previous signature tried to
solve this with a doc comment ("not a stable programmatic API"), but a
disclaimer does not stop code from being written against a value it can
see.

The bridge also filters below info, so debug and trace never reach user
code. That previously held only by accident of the build:
CUOPT_LOG_ACTIVE_LEVEL defaults to INFO so those statements are compiled
out, but a lower-level build -- or CUOPT_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG against one --
would have routed internal diagnostics straight into a user callback.
Filtering in the bridge makes it a property of the API instead.

Note on scope: cuOpt's standard solver output is emitted at info
(CUOPT_LOG_INFO covers "Solve status", "PDLP finished" and the progress
table, ~153 call sites), so "no info messages" cannot be taken literally
without silencing the solver log entirely. The cut is therefore at
info: users receive what the console would show, and nothing below it.
Splitting info into user-facing output vs internal diagnostics would be a
larger change across those call sites.

Document the breaking callback ABI change.

cuOptLogCallback changed from three parameters to two. Existing binaries must be rebuilt and update their callback definitions. Confirm the intentional ABI break and add migration guidance to the release documentation.

Not an ABI break — cuOptLogCallback has never shipped. It is introduced by this PR, so there is no released signature to migrate from:

$ git show origin/main:cpp/include/cuopt/mathematical_optimization/cuopt_c.h | grep -c cuOptLogCallback
0
$ git show v26.10.00a:cpp/include/cuopt/mathematical_optimization/cuopt_c.h | grep -c cuOptLogCallback
0

The three-parameter form existed only in this branch's earlier commit (3756aaf), and the two-parameter form (dc14e3b) replaced it before merge. The diff you compared is intra-PR churn, not a change to a public API.

No release-note migration guidance is needed. The signature narrowing was made in response to @chris-maes's review — dropping the level parameter so no severity is exposed through the C API.

init_logger_t returns early when a guard is already alive, so a callback
registered for that solve was never installed -- but stayed in the
process-global pending slot. A later solve that did build a guard would
then adopt it, invoking the function pointer with user_data belonging to
a solve that may already have returned and freed it.

Clear the slot on both paths: on the early return (the registration can
never be installed) and after capture (the guard owns a copy).

This removes the stale-pointer hazard. It does not make callbacks
solve-local: a concurrent solve's callback is now reliably dropped rather
than misrouted. Per-solve delivery needs solve identity threaded through
the logging path, tracked in #1752.
Closes #1752.

Registration went through a process-global slot that init_logger_t
consumed when it built the logger guard. Two problems followed: a second
solve registering between cuOptSolve and init_logger_t made the first
capture the second's callback, and a solve reusing an already-active
guard never got its callback installed at all.

Both came from tying delivery to who registered last, and to which solve
happened to build the guard. Registration is now thread-local, held by a
scoped_log_callback_t for the duration of cuOptSolve, and the bridge sink
is always installed -- it no-ops unless the logging thread has a
registration. Delivery therefore depends only on who is logging.

This removes the global slot, the captured-callback state on the guard,
and set/clear_pending_log_callback.

Log lines emitted on internal worker threads are not delivered, since
those threads carry no registration. C_API_TEST asserts the callback
fires at least once during a solve and that it stops after clearing, so
standard solver output still arrives on the calling thread.

Good catch — it wasn't, and it is now (30632ca).

With CUOPT_REMOTE_HOST/CUOPT_REMOTE_PORT set, cuOptSolve dispatches through solve_lp_remote / solve_mip_remote, and the callback saw almost nothing. Two reasons:

  1. The streamed server log was written straight to std::cout and the log file, bypassing default_logger() and therefore the callback sink.
  2. config.stream_logs was only enabled when log_to_console or log_file was set, so a registered callback alone did not even request streaming.

Both remote paths now forward each streamed line to the user callback, and request streaming when a callback is present. The registration is captured at call time rather than read inside the lambda, because grpc_client_t invokes log_callback from its own log_thread_, which carries no thread-local registration (registration is per-thread as of 6562dda, so concurrent solves cannot capture each other's callback).

Verified against a live cuopt_grpc_server with a small C probe — the same LP delivers the same number of callback lines either way:

local :  solve rc=0 callback_calls=16
remote:  solve rc=0 callback_calls=16

and the remote lines are the server's own solver log (Using PSLP presolver, PSLP Presolved problem: ..., Status: Optimal), cross-checked against the server-side log.

One behavioural note now documented in the header: the callback runs on the calling thread for a local solve, and on the log-streaming thread for a remote one.

Follow-up: this is now covered by a test as well (31e6c10).

CpuOnlyWithServerTest.log_callback_remote reuses the existing fixture that forks a real cuopt_grpc_server and points CUOPT_REMOTE_HOST/PORT at it.

Worth noting why the assertion is what it is: the client emits its own Using remote GPU backend line locally, so a bare "callback fired at least once" check passes even when no server output is forwarded at all. The test therefore asserts that a line from the server's solver log arrives. Reverting the forwarding in solve_remote.cpp makes it fail with:

Remote solve delivered 1 lines but none from the server's solver log
[  FAILED  ] CpuOnlyWithServerTest.log_callback_remote

Answers @rg20's question on the PR: with CUOPT_REMOTE_HOST/PORT set,
cuOptSolve dispatches to solve_lp_remote/solve_mip_remote, and the
callback saw almost nothing.

Two reasons. The streamed server log was written straight to std::cout
and the log file, bypassing default_logger() and therefore the callback
sink. And streaming was only requested when log_to_console or log_file
was set, so a registered callback alone did not turn it on.

Both paths now capture the calling thread's registration and forward each
streamed line to it, and request streaming when a callback is present.
The registration is captured at call time rather than read inside the
lambda, because the gRPC client invokes log_callback from its own
log_thread_, which carries no thread-local registration.

Verified against a live cuopt_grpc_server: the same LP delivers 16
callback lines locally and 16 remotely, and the remote ones are the
server's solver log (PSLP presolve, status).

The header note is updated: the callback runs on the calling thread for a
local solve and on the streaming thread for a remote one.

ramakrishnap-nv requested a review from a team as a code owner August 31, 2026 19:05
Adds CpuOnlyWithServerTest.log_callback_remote, reusing the fixture that
forks a real cuopt_grpc_server and points CUOPT_REMOTE_HOST/PORT at it.

The assertion is that a line from the server's own solver log arrives,
not merely that the callback fired: the client emits "Using remote GPU
backend" locally, so a bare call-count check passes even when no server
output is forwarded. Confirmed by reverting the forwarding in
solve_remote.cpp, where the test fails with "delivered 1 lines but none
from the server's solver log".
