CREATEABLUNARYEXPR(3)

💅 CREATEABLUNARYEXPR(3) — the abl functions era

ok so bestie, this one lives in the ABL FUNCTIONS section of the manual (section 3, the library-call girlies 🎀) and honestly? she's a little icon. let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

createablunaryexpr — say it with me: it creates an unary operator expression. that's the whole vibe. 💖

---

🌈 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. very "study abroad semester in Paris" of them, we love. 🗼✨

• Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
• E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr

like, literally go say hi. they want feedback (more on that at the bottom 👀).

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include "abl101.h"
chain_list ∗createablunaryexpr( Oper, Expr )
  long        Oper;
  chain_list ∗Expr;

yes the ∗ is that funky star character, not your regular *. copy it exactly, bestie, don't fight it. 💀

---

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

• Oper — the unary operator number. like which operator are we wrapping around the thing. that number. 🔢
• Expr — the expression. the little guy we're operating on. 🫶

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so createablunaryexpr creates the unary operator expression Operator Expr. iconic. no notes.

also, quick heads-up while we're here: createablbinexpr combines eventualy the operator of Expr with Operator. (that's what the manpage says, that's what you get — I don't make the rules 💅)

⚠️ THE BIG ONE, bestie, listen to me: the expression pointer Expr MUSTN'T be used after the call to this function. like, at all. it's giving "consumed", it's giving "she's gone". do not touch her afterwards. 😭🙈

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

createablunaryexpr returns a pointer to the new operator expression. fresh out the oven. new main character. 👑

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

• "ablcreate: bad operator xx !" — this pops off when the Operator must be defined and must be a unary operator. i.e. if it's not defined, or it's defined but it's not unary? boom. that error. fix your operator. 🔥

---

🧚 EXAMPLE 🧚

ok here's the whole little program-shaped snack, verbatim, slay:

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

so a and b get made, a OR b gets made, and then the whole a OR b gets negated with ABL_NOT. it's giving nor gate. it's giving circuits. ate. 💖

🐛 BUG REPORT 🐛

ok so this tool is under development at the ASIM department of the LIP6 laboratory. and honestly? they need your feedback to improve documentation and tools. so like… if something's weird, tell them. it's a group project fr fr. 🙈💜
