Vehicle Routing Problem Solver Built on 'PyVRP'
Overview
A 'tidyverse'-style interface to high-performance vehicle routing problem (VRP) solving. Vendors the C++ core of the 'PyVRP' solver (https://github.com/PyVRP/PyVRP) and rewires it through 'cpp11', with no 'Python' runtime dependency. Supports the capacitated VRP, time windows, multiple depots, heterogeneous fleets, prize-collecting and multi-trip variants, driven by an iterated local search metaheuristic.
- Fixes the installation failure in CRAN's additional
clang23checks (LLVM 23 libc++, which no longer provides<algorithm>transitively): the vendoredClient.cppandVehicleType.cppusestd::any_ofwithout including it.tools/vendor.Rnow adds the include, as it already did for<iterator>.
