Hello:
I'm new to CPLEX. I'm trying to use setnames for about one million variables. And
it takes for a long time. The code is following:

IloNumVarArray z(env,1,000,000,-IloInfinity,IloInfinity);
z.setNames("z");

I'm wondering if this is normal? Is there some way to speed this up?

Thanks!

Thanks for pointing this out. This will be fixed in the next CPLEX release.

Meanwhile, the only work-around that we know is to set names for all variables manually.

As you can see in the reference documentation for function setNames() checks for duplicates.
If you know that you don't have duplicates in the array then you can bypass this test by setting the names manually.
