engine.h

An instance of Engine is instantiated in main.cpp. Engine has as its member an instance of BasicSearch. The search is then initialized and run.

#include "Heuristics/simulated_anneal.cpp"

template<class T>
void Engine<T>::initialize_search()
{
  // Other irrelevant codes omitted
  switch(heuristic_type){

  case h_simulated_annealing:
    the_search = 
     new SimulatedAnneal<T>(running_time, r_interval, cp_interval);
    break;

  }
}
