What is coinor-libflopc++0v5

coinor-libflopc++0v5 is:

An open source algebraic modelling language implemented as a C++ class library. Using FLOPC++, linear optimization models can be specified in a declarative style, similar to algebraic modelling languages such as GAMS and AMPL, within a C++ program. As a result the traditional strengths of algebraic modelling languages are preserved, while embedding linear optimization models in software applications is facilitated.

Coinor-flopc++ is part of the larger COIN-OR initiative (Computational Infrastructure for Operations Research).
