💖 EC_NODE_CHECK_TYPE — it's giving "is this node THAT girl?" 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Libecoli Programmer's Manual section 3, where we answer the one question every grammar node has to face at some point: are you actually the type you say you are? ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

ec_node_check_type — literally just check the type of a node. that's it. that's the job. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ecoli/node.h>

int ec_node_check_type(
    const struct ec_node        *node,  /* The grammar node. */
    const struct ec_node_type   *type   /* The pointer to the type structure. */
);

so you roll up with a node and a type pointer, and it tells you if they match. main character energy honestly. 🦋

🧚 STRUCTURES 🧚

so there's a structure that describes a grammar node type, and it's usually defined as a static const structure in the code that defines a new grammar node type. if you wanna see real examples, go peek in the ecoli_node_<type>.c files — they're the blueprint besties. 👑

struct ec_node_type {
};

that's the whole thing, no cap. yes it's empty here, that's just how the page shows it. 🙈

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

  • 0 — slay, the node is of the specified type. 💖
  • -1 — nope, not that type. 💀

periodt.
