DELABLEXPR(3)

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

πŸ’… delablexpr β€” deletes an expression (yes, that's the whole job)

okay so welcome to the ABL FUNCTIONS corner of the manual, bestie πŸŽ€ today's main character is delablexpr(3), and honestly? she's an icon of minimalism. she deletes stuff. that's it. that's the whole vibe.


🌸 ORIGIN 🌸

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₯–βœ¨ (yes, that Paris).

like, they literally built a whole CAD system, no cap πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include "abl101.h"
  void delablexpr( Expr )
   chain_list βˆ—Expr;

that's it. short and slay πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ PARAMETERS πŸ¦‹

  • Expr β€” the expression to delete. the one getting uninvited from the group chat 🫢

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

delablexpr deletes the expression Expr.

fr fr, that's the whole description. she's not complicated, she's not doing the most, she just shows up and deletes the thing. main character energy but make it lowkey 🌈


⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

delablexpr returns nothing.

literally nothing. not a value, not a status, not a little nod. void vibes πŸ’€ (and if you were expecting a return value, that's on you bestie, the synopsis literally says void)


πŸŽ€ EXAMPLE πŸŽ€

here's how it looks in the wild πŸ‘‡

#include "abl101.h"
   chain_list βˆ—ExprA;
   chain_list βˆ—ExprB;
   chain_list βˆ—ExprAorB;
   ExprA = createablatom( "a" );
   ExprB = createablatom( "b" );
   ExprAorB  = createablbinexpr( ABL_OR, ExprA, ExprB );
   ...
   delablexpr( ExprAorB );
   ExprAorB = (chain_list βˆ—)0;
   ...

see how after the delete she sets ExprAorB to (chain_list βˆ—)0? that's the self-care, that's the setting-your-ex-to-null energy πŸ™ˆβœ¨
