CREATEABLBINEXPR(3)

okay so bestie, welcome to the CREATEABLBINEXPR(3) manual page from the ABL FUNCTIONS corner of the universe ✨ we're gonna build a binary operator expression and keep every single detail intact, no cap.

💖 NAME 💖

createablbinexpr — creates a binary operator expression.

🦋 ORIGIN 🦋

This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universit� Pierre and Marie CURIE, in Paris, France.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       #include "abl101.h"
       chain_list ∗createablbinexpr( Oper, Expr1, Expr2 )
         long        Oper;
         chain_list ∗Expr1;
         chain_list ∗Expr2;

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• Oper — the operator number.
• Expr1 — the first expression.
• Expr2 — the second expression.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

createablbinexpr creates the binary operator expression Expr1 Operator Expr2. If the operator of Expr1 and/or Expr2, and Operator are identicals, createablbinexpr merges eventually the sub-expressions. The expression pointers Expr1 and Expr2 MUSTN'T be used after the call to this function.

⚠️ bestie, this is the dramatic part: after you call this function, Expr1 and Expr2 are done. do not keep using those pointers. like, at all. 😭

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

createablbinexpr returns a pointer to the new operator expression. iconic behavior, honestly 🫶

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

• "ablcreate: bad operator xx !" — the error string you get here; the rule is that Operator must be defined and must be a binary operator.

🧚 EXAMPLE 🧚

       #include "abl101.h"
          chain_list ∗ExprA;
          chain_list ∗ExprB;
          chain_list ∗ExprAorB;
          ExprA = createablatom( "a" );
          ExprB = createablatom( "b" );
          ExprAorB  = createablbinexpr( ABL_OR, ExprA, ExprB );
