CLEARBDDSYSTEMREFEXT(3)

πŸ“¦ version 5.1.1-unstable-2025-02, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… CLEARBDDSYSTEMREFEXT(3) β€” like, the BDD FUNCTIONS girlies ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to clearbddsystemrefext β€” a page from the BDD FUNCTIONS manual, and honestly? she's a one-job icon and she does that job flawlessly πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

clearbddsystemrefext β€” clears the external references for all bdd nodes. that's it. that's the whole gig. periodt πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ORIGIN πŸ¦‹

so this software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM, developed by the ASIM team at the LIP6 laboratory of UniversitΓ© Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France πŸ‡«πŸ‡·βœ¨ like, trΓ¨s chic, no cap.


⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

#include "bdd101.h"
void clearbddsystemrefext( BddSystem )
  bddsystem Ξ’ddSystem;

(yes she's giving very tiny, very chic signature energy 🫢)


πŸ’– PARAMETERS πŸ’–

  • BddSystem β€” the bdd system. that's your girl. that's who we're operating on πŸ’«

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

so clearbddsystemrefext clears the external references of all the bdd nodes in the bdd system BddSystem. all of them. every single one. she is not doing a partial vibe check, she is doing a full reset 🧹✨

and here's the little plot twist: if a null pointer is given, the default bdd system is used instead. so you don't even have to name names β€” she'll just know πŸ˜ŒπŸ’…


🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

clearbddsystemrefext returns nothing. she gives, but she does not give back. iconic behavior, honestly πŸ’€


πŸ“ EXAMPLE πŸ“

#include "bdd101.h"
   bddsystem  βˆ—BddSystem;
   BddSystem  = createbddsystem( 100, 1000, 100, 50000 );
   ...
   clearbddsystemrefext( (bddsystem βˆ—)0 );
   ...
   destroybddsystem( (bddsystem βˆ—)0 );

see how she passes (bddsystem βˆ—)0? that's the null pointer moment β€” default system, main character energy πŸ‘‘ note that createbddsystem and destroybddsystem are doing their own thing around her; she's just the middle child slaying in between ✨
