EC_PNODE_GET_STRVEC(3)

💖 EC_PNODE_GET_STRVEC 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about ec_pnode_get_strvec from the Libecoli Programmer's Manual — she's a little function that hands you back the string vector chillin' inside a parsing node 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ec_pnode_get_strvec — bestie, this one literally gets the string vector associated with a parsing node. that's the whole job. icon behavior 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ecoli/parse.h>

const struct ec_strvec * ec_pnode_get_strvec(
    /*
     * The parsing node. If NULL, the function returns NULL.
     */
    const struct ec_pnode   *pnode
);

like, look at her. one parameter. no drama 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe 🌸

when an input gets parsed successfully — meaning the input string vector matches the grammar tree — the matching string vector gets copied inside the associated parsing node. it's giving "your results are stored right where you'd expect them" 💖

for instance, say you're parsing the input ["foo", "bar"] on a grammar which is a sequence of strings. the attached string vector will be:

• ["foo", "bar"] on the root pnode 👑
• ["foo"] on the first leaf 🍓
• ["bar"] on the second leaf 🧚

everybody gets a slice, no cap.

🫶 and if the parsing tree does not match (peep ec_pnode_matches() for that situation), the associated string vector is just NULL. nothing there. empty. ghosted 😭

---

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

she returns the string vector associated with the parsing node 💜

or NULL if:

• the node is not yet parsed — this happens when you're building the parsing tree, so like, she's still under construction bestie 🚧
• the parsing tree does not match the input 💀
