ADDABLHEXPR(3)

✨ ADDABLHEXPR(3) — the ABL FUNCTIONS glow-up ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about addablhexpr 💖 this one lives in the ABL FUNCTIONS section of the manual (third section, the library girlies), and it's literally just "put a new argument at the head of an expression." that's it. that's the whole vibe. but the way it does it? chef's kiss. no cap.

🌸 ORIGIN 🌸

so this software? it belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM, which was developed by the ASIM team at the LIP6 laboratory of Université Pierre and Marie CURIE, in Paris, France 🥐🗼

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the incantation, copy it exactly or it will not work, i don't make the rules:

#include "abl101.h"
void addablhexpr( Expr1, Expr2 )
  chain_list *Expr1;
  chain_list *Expr2;

---

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• Expr1 — the first expression. the one getting a lil something added to its head 💅
• Expr2 — the second expression. the something in question.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

addablhexpr adds Expr2 in head of Expr1. that's the whole function. it's giving "prepend but make it expressions" and honestly? iconic.

🚨 BIG ONE, DO NOT SKIP THIS: the expression pointers Expr2 MUSTN'T be used after the call to this function. like, not once. not casually. not "just to peek." it's consumed, bestie, it's gone, it's living its new life inside Expr1 now. using it afterwards is a one-way ticket to undefined-behavior-ville and we are NOT going there 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

addablhexpr returns nothing. zero. void. the void is voiding. it does the thing and then it simply leaves 🫶

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

here's how the girlies actually use it:

#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. a goes in the head, then b goes in the head, and boom — (a or b) ✨ it ate and left no crumbs.

and that's the page, bestie 🎀 this one came out of ASIM/LIP6 and it's dated October 1, 1997 — yes, a 90s baddie, and it still slays. mwah 💅✨
