When in_time_limit is infinity, multiplying by 1000 and casting to an integer causes undefined behavior / integer overflow (trapping under UBSan). Guard against infinity and use std::chrono::milliseconds::max().

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CPU feasibility jump solver now treats infinite time limits as unlimited durations. Finite time limits continue to use millisecond conversion and existing loop checks.

Changes

Feasibility jump time-limit handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Duration conversion
cpp/src/mip_heuristics/feasibility_jump/fj_cpu.cu
cpufj_solve uses milliseconds::max() for infinite limits and preserves finite-limit conversion and checks.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to cd25e

Infinite CPU feasibility-jump limits now avoid invalid integer conversion. The remaining finite-limit boundary concern is unchanged by this patch, so no merge-blocking risk introduced by this change is established.

Add regression tests for the duration boundary cases.

Add gtest coverage for the default positive-infinite limit, a normal finite limit, and an oversized finite limit. Set the iteration limit so the tests do not depend on wall-clock timing.

As per coding guidelines: “**/*.{cpp,cc,cxx,h,hpp,cu,cuh}: Add unit tests. Please refer to cpp/src/tests for examples of unit tests on C and C++ using gtest.”

Prevent finite time-limit overflow before the cast.

Line 1899 still converts every finite limit through static_cast<i_t>. The explicit instantiations use i_t = int, so a finite limit above std::numeric_limits<i_t>::max() / 1000.0 seconds makes the conversion out of range and undefined before std::chrono::milliseconds is constructed. Check the range before multiplying and casting, then clamp or reject oversized finite limits.

The new guard only special-cases positive infinity via in_time_limit < +infinity. -infinity still takes the floor(... * 1000) / integer-cast path and hits the same out-of-range conversion this PR is trying to remove, while NaN falls into the milliseconds::max() branch and is silently treated as unlimited. Could this use an explicit finiteness/non-finite policy (and validate NaN/negative infinity) with regressions for those inputs?
