CREATEABLOPER(3)

💅 CREATEABLOPER(3) — the createabloper glow-up

ok so bestie, buckle in, because we're talking about createabloper from the ABL FUNCTIONS manual section, and honestly? it's giving "small function, big main character energy." ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

createabloper — literally just creates the head of an operator expression. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🎀

---

🧚 ORIGIN 🧚

ok so this software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM, developed by the ASIM team at the LIP6 laboratory of Université Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France. très iconic. 🥐💖

like, they gave us the link AND the email, we love a transparent king 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include "abl101.h"
 chain_list ∗createabloper( Oper )
  long Oper;

---

🍓 PARAMETERS 🍓

• Oper — the operator number. that's it. that's the whole parameter. she's low maintenance. 💅

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

ok so createabloper creates the head of an operator expression. simple as that. ✨

you can then add arguments to this expression with the addablhexpr and addablqexpr functions — like, the operator is the skeleton and those functions give it a body, iykyk 🫶

so the operator can take the following values, and bestie, there are a LOT of them, so here's the full lineup, no skipping, we respect every single one:

ABL_AND, ABL_OR, ABL_AND, ABL_XOR, ABL_NOT, ABL_NOR, ABL_NAND, ABL_NXOR, ABL_STABLE, ABL_AF, ABL_AG, ABL_AX, ABL_AU, ABL_EF, ABL_EG, ABL_EX, ABL_EU

(yes ABL_AND is in there twice, that's literally what the manpage says, don't come for me 😭💀)

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

createabloper returns a pointer to the new operator expression. fresh out of the oven, ready to be decorated. 🎀

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

• "ablcreate: bad operator xx !" — the operator number must be defined. so like... if you hand it a number that isn't one of the kids listed above, it WILL read you to filth with this error message. define your operator, bestie. 🙈

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

here's the whole slay in action:

#include "abl101.h"
  chain_list ∗Expr;
  Expr = createabloper( ABL_OR );
  addablhexpr( Expr, createablatom( "a" ) );
  addablhexpr( Expr, createablatom( "b" ) );
  /* displays (a or b) */
  viewablexpr( Expr, ABL_VIEW_VHDL );

look at that. we made (a or b) happen. ate and left no crumbs 🔥

🫶 BUG REPORT 🫶

ngl, this tool is under development at the ASIM department of the LIP6 laboratory. they need your feedback to improve documentation and tools — so like, if something's weird, TELL THEM. it's a group project and you're part of the group now. 😌💖
