Warm start for GLOP_LINEAR_PROGRAMMING?

[gdowdy3]

What language and solver does this apply to?
Python, GLOP

Describe the problem you are trying to solve.
I would like to "warm-start" the GLOP linear programming solver when applied to multiple similar LPs. In particular, I would like to

1. Solve an LP with GLOP.
2. Add a decision variable to that LP.
3. Solve the LP again, starting from the optimal basis found in the previous solution.

I know how to do steps 1 and 2, but I have't yet figured out how to achieve step 3. @lperron, @Mizux, Does this feature exist in OR-Tools? If not, does it exist in OR-Tools for other open source solvers?

So, you can on c++ with MPsolver.

On MPsolver: Setstartinglpbasis is not wrapped in python. You can patch the swig file and recompile the python module.

You can use math_opt (c++ and python) on the main branch with bazel only (see my post on or-tools 10.0)
