The number of variables reserved in the solver is accessible through the ISolver.realNumberOfVariables() method.

Specified by:

nextFreeVarId in interface ISolver

Parameters:

reserve - if true, the maxVarId is updated in the solver, i.e. successive calls to nextFreeVarId(true) will return increasing variable id while successive calls to nextFreeVarId(false) will always answer the same.
