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 validates time limits, safely converts finite values, handles infinite and oversized values, and checks elapsed milliseconds for finite limits. Unit tests cover valid and invalid boundary cases.

Changes

Feasibility jump time-limit handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Duration validation and conversion
cpp/src/mip_heuristics/feasibility_jump/fj_cpu.cu
cpufj_solve rejects negative and NaN limits. It converts representable finite limits to milliseconds and uses milliseconds::max() for non-finite or oversized limits.
Timeout enforcement and boundary tests
cpp/src/mip_heuristics/feasibility_jump/fj_cpu.cu, cpp/tests/mip/unit_test.cu
The loop compares elapsed milliseconds only for finite limits. Tests cover infinite, finite, oversized, negative, negative-infinite, and NaN limits.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3b49d

CPU feasibility-jump can run past exact finite time limits, including allowing work for a zero-millisecond limit. This is a bounded timeout-enforcement defect that should be corrected before relying on precise limits.

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.”

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?

…ersized limits

- Validate in_time_limit against NaN and negative values (including -infinity),
  throwing ValidationError.
- Clamp oversized finite limits (and infinite limits) to
  std::chrono::milliseconds::max(), avoiding integer overflow when multiplying
  by 1000.
- Use std::chrono::milliseconds::rep (int64_t) instead of i_t (int32_t) for
  millisecond duration representation.
- Compute elapsed time as std::chrono::milliseconds before comparing against
  time_limit, avoiding signed integer overflow when comparing against
  nanosecond clock duration.
- Add regression tests in cpp/tests/mip/unit_test.cu covering default infinity,
  explicit infinity, normal finite, oversized finite, negative finite,
  negative infinity, and NaN limits.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Stop when the millisecond limit is reached.

At Line 1926, elapsed is truncated to milliseconds. For a 1 ms limit, elapsed values from 1 ms through just below 2 ms compare equal to time_limit, so the solver starts another iteration after the requested limit. A 0 ms limit can also enter an iteration.

Use elapsed >= time_limit. Add a regression case for zero and exact millisecond limits.

Proposed fix
-    if (std::isfinite(in_time_limit) && elapsed > time_limit) {
+    if (std::isfinite(in_time_limit) && elapsed >= time_limit) {

As per path instructions, “Tests should assert both accepted boundary values and rejection of invalid limits, not merely successful execution.”
