Support for Apple M1

[lyinch]

I tried using Cbc and JuMP but get a double free error on an M1 macbook pro:

julia> using Cbc
julia> using JuMP
julia> model = Model(Cbc.Optimizer)
julia(6797,0x100a88580) malloc: *** error for object 0xe00000000000000: pointer being freed was not allocated
julia(6797,0x100a88580) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
signal (6): Abort trap: 6

zsh: abort      /Applications/Julia-1.7.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia

I use Julia Version 1.7.2 (2022-02-06)

The underlying issue is probably: jump-dev/Clp.jl#131.

M1 support in Julia is still Tier 3: https://julialang.org/downloads/#supported_platforms.

Use Rosetta, or use HiGHS.jl instead.

@odow do we have any plan to support Cbc on apple silicon? Thanks!

No plan. Problem also jump-dev/Clp.jl#131.

My long-term hope is that a new v2 release of https://github.com/coin-or/Clp is made. That will fix a number of bugs and simplify the build system. That might fix the issue.

Until then, use HiGHS. It is faster, works on M2, and is MIT licensed.
