 *  method should process the useful constraints first. The other nconss - nusefulconss constraints should only

 *
 *  If the pseudo solution's objective value is lower than the lower bound of the node, it cannot be feasible

 *  
 *  The check methods of the active constraint handlers are called in decreasing order of their check

 *  check priority greater than zero (e.g. if the check is much faster than testing all variables for
 *  integrality).

 *  feasibility is already checked or implicitly given. In these cases, 'checkintegrality' or

 *  representation in the LP relaxation, if any such rows exist.
 *  As a convenience method, SCIPupdateSolLPConsViolation() can be used if the constraint

/** propagation conflict resolving method of constraint handler
 *
 *  This method is called during conflict analysis. If the constraint handler wants to support conflict analysis,
 *  it should call SCIPinferVarLbCons() or SCIPinferVarUbCons() in domain propagation instead of SCIPchgVarLb() or
 *  SCIPchgVarUb() in order to deduce bound changes on variables.
 *  In the SCIPinferVarLbCons() and SCIPinferVarUbCons() calls, the handler provides the constraint, that deduced the
 *  variable's bound change, and an integer value "inferinfo" that can be arbitrarily chosen.
 *  The propagation conflict resolving method can then be implemented, to provide a "reason" for the bound
 *  changes, i.e., the bounds of variables at the time of the propagation, that forced the constraint to set the
 *  conflict variable's bound to its current value. It can use the "inferinfo" tag to identify its own propagation
 *  rule and thus identify the "reason" bounds. The bounds that form the reason of the assignment must then be provided
 *  by calls to SCIPaddConflictLb(), SCIPaddConflictUb(), SCIPaddConflictBd(), SCIPaddConflictRelaxedLb(),
 *  SCIPaddConflictRelaxedUb(), SCIPaddConflictRelaxedBd(), and/or SCIPaddConflictBinvar() in the propagation conflict
 *  resolving method.
 *
 *  For example, the logicor constraint c = "x or y or z" fixes variable z to TRUE (i.e. changes the lower bound of z
 *  to 1.0), if both, x and y, are assigned to FALSE (i.e. if the upper bounds of these variables are 0.0). It uses
 *  SCIPinferVarLbCons(scip, z, 1.0, c, 0) to apply this assignment (an inference information tag is not needed by the
 *  constraint handler and is set to 0).
 *  In the conflict analysis, the constraint handler may be asked to resolve the lower bound change on z with
 *  constraint c, that was applied at a time given by a bound change index "bdchgidx".
 *  With a call to SCIPgetVarLbAtIndex(scip, z, bdchgidx, TRUE), the handler can find out, that the lower bound of
 *  variable z was set to 1.0 at the given point of time, and should call SCIPaddConflictUb(scip, x, bdchgidx) and
 *  SCIPaddConflictUb(scip, y, bdchgidx) to tell SCIP, that the upper bounds of x and y at this point of time were
 *  the reason for the deduction of the lower bound of z.

/** variable rounding lock method of constraint handler
 *
 *  This method is called, after a constraint is added or removed from the transformed problem.
 *  It should update the rounding locks of the given type of all associated variables with calls to
 *  SCIPaddVarLocksType(), depending on the way, the variable is involved in the constraint:
 *  - If the constraint may get violated by decreasing the value of a variable, it should call
 *    SCIPaddVarLocksType(scip, var, locktype, nlockspos, nlocksneg), saying that rounding down is
 *    potentially rendering the (positive) constraint infeasible and rounding up is potentially rendering the
 *    negation of the constraint infeasible.
 *  - If the constraint may get violated by increasing the value of a variable, it should call
 *    SCIPaddVarLocksType(scip, var, locktype, nlocksneg, nlockspos), saying that rounding up is
 *    potentially rendering the constraint's negation infeasible and rounding up is potentially rendering the
 *    constraint itself infeasible.
 *  - If the constraint may get violated by changing the variable in any direction, it should call
 *    SCIPaddVarLocksType(scip, var, locktype, nlockspos + nlocksneg, nlockspos + nlocksneg).
 *
 *  Consider the linear constraint "3x -5y +2z <= 7" as an example. The variable rounding lock method of the
 *  linear constraint handler should call SCIPaddVarLocksType(scip, x, locktype, nlocksneg, nlockspos),
 *  SCIPaddVarLocksType(scip, y, locktype, nlockspos, nlocksneg) and
 *  SCIPaddVarLocksType(scip, z, type, nlocksneg, nlockspos) to tell SCIP, that rounding up of x and z and rounding
 *  down of y can destroy the feasibility of the constraint, while rounding down of x and z and rounding up of y can
 *  destroy the feasibility of the constraint's negation "3x -5y +2z > 7".
 *  A linear constraint "2 <= 3x -5y +2z <= 7" should call
 *  SCIPaddVarLocksType(scip, ..., nlockspos + nlocksneg, nlockspos + nlocksneg) on all variables, since rounding in both
 *  directions of each variable can destroy both the feasibility of the constraint and it's negation
 *  "3x -5y +2z < 2  or  3x -5y +2z > 7".
 *
 *  If the constraint itself contains other constraints as sub constraints (e.g. the "or" constraint concatenation
 *  "c(x) or d(x)"), the rounding lock methods of these constraints should be called in a proper way.
 *  - If the constraint may get violated by the violation of the sub constraint c, it should call
 *    SCIPaddConsLocksType(scip, c, locktype, nlockspos, nlocksneg), saying that infeasibility of c may lead to
 *    infeasibility of the (positive) constraint, and infeasibility of c's negation (i.e. feasibility of c) may lead
 *    to infeasibility of the constraint's negation (i.e. feasibility of the constraint).
 *  - If the constraint may get violated by the feasibility of the sub constraint c, it should call
 *    SCIPaddConsLocksType(scip, c, locktype, nlocksneg, nlockspos), saying that infeasibility of c may lead to
 *    infeasibility of the constraint's negation (i.e. feasibility of the constraint), and infeasibility of c's negation
 *    (i.e. feasibility of c) may lead to infeasibility of the (positive) constraint.
 *  - If the constraint may get violated by any change in the feasibility of the sub constraint c, it should call
 *    SCIPaddConsLocksType(scip, c, locktype, nlockspos + nlocksneg, nlockspos + nlocksneg).
 *
 *  Consider the or concatenation "c(x) or d(x)". The variable rounding lock method of the or constraint handler
 *  should call SCIPaddConsLocksType(scip, c, locktype, nlockspos, nlocksneg) and
 *  SCIPaddConsLocksType(scip, d, locktype, nlockspos, nlocksneg) to tell SCIP, that infeasibility of c and d can lead
 *  to infeasibility of "c(x) or d(x)".
 *
 *  As a second example, consider the equivalence constraint "y <-> c(x)" with variable y and constraint c. The
 *  constraint demands, that y == 1 if and only if c(x) is satisfied. The variable lock method of the corresponding
 *  constraint handler should call SCIPaddVarLocksType(scip, y, locktype, nlockspos + nlocksneg, nlockspos + nlocksneg) and
 *  SCIPaddConsLocksType(scip, c, locktype, nlockspos + nlocksneg, nlockspos + nlocksneg), because any modification to the
 *  value of y or to the feasibility of c can alter the feasibility of the equivalence constraint.

/** constraint handler method to suggest dive bound changes during the generic diving algorithm
 *
 *  This callback is used inside the various diving heuristics of SCIP and does not affect the normal branching of the
 *  actual search. The constraint handler can provide this callback to render the current solution (even more)
 *  infeasible by suggesting one or several variable bound changes. In fact, since diving heuristics do not necessarily
 *  solve LP relaxations at every probing depth, some of the variable local bounds might already be conflicting with the
 *  solution values.  The solution is rendered infeasible by determining bound changes that should be applied to the
 *  next explored search node via SCIPaddDiveBoundChange().  An alternative in case that the preferred bound change(s)
 *  were detected infeasible must be provided.
 *
 *  The constraint handler must take care to only add bound changes that further shrink the variable domain.
 *
 *  The success pointer must be used to indicate whether the constraint handler succeeded in selecting diving bound
 *  changes. The infeasible pointer should be set to TRUE if the constraint handler found a local infeasibility.  If the
 *  constraint handler needs to select between several candidates, it may use the scoring mechanism of the diveset
 *  argument to control its choice.
 *
 *  This callback is optional.
 *
 *  @note: @p sol is usually the LP relaxation solution unless the caller of the method, usually a diving heuristic,
 *         does not solve LP relaxations at every depth

 *  - infeasible      : pointer to store whether the constraint handler detected an infeasibility in the local node
