BEH_MAKGEX(3)

πŸ“¦ version 5.1.1, in fedora 43, fedora 44

πŸ’– beh_makgex(3) β€” the BHL functions era πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this little icon is beh_makgex, and it lives in the BHL functions manual, section 3. she makes GEXs. one for every expression in a description. periodt.


🌸 ORIGIN 🌸

so this software is part of the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM, and it was built by the ASIM team over at the LIP6 laboratory of UniversitΓ© Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France πŸ‡«πŸ‡·βœ¨

like, they made it. respect. πŸ‘‘


✨ NAME ✨

beh_makgex β€” create a GEX for each expression in a description. yes that's the whole job description and she does it flawlessly πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void beh_makgex (fig_pnt)
struct befig *fig_pnt;

πŸŽ€ PARAMETERS πŸŽ€

  • fig_pnt β€” the pointer of the BEFIG structure. that's the thing you hand her. don't forget it. πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

okay so here's the vibe: beh_makgex() reads a whole behavioral description (a BEFIG, yup) and creates a GEX for each expression present in the description.

and what even is a GEX, you ask? bestie, a GEX is a structure able to represents binary expressions. it has almost the same organization as an ABL but β€” like a BDD β€” it uses an index to represent variables. lowkey genius, no cap. 🧠✨

for simple signals (that's simple outputs β€” BEOUT, simple iternal signals β€” BEAUX, and simple internal delayed signals β€” BEDLY), one GEX is created, and it corresponds to the expression that drives the signal. that GEX gets stored into a specific field in the corresponding structure (NODE). 🫢

for signals that have multiple expressions (registers, internal busses, bussed ports), one GEX is created for each expression, and each one is stored in the corresponding field of the structure β€” CNDNODE for conditions, or VALNODE for the value. slay, organized queen. πŸ‘‘

and fig_pnt? that represents the pointer of the description. that's it. that's the tea. πŸ“


🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

#include <beh109.h>
struct befig *befig_pnt;

beh_makgex (befig_pnt);

look at her go. iconic behaviour honestly. πŸ¦‹

πŸ’€ BUG REPORT πŸ’€

ngl, this tool is under development at the ASIM department of the LIP6 laboratory. so yeah. it's giving "work in progress" and we're all just living in it. 😭

and fr fr, they need your feedback to improve documentation and tools β€” so if something's weird, say something. they're asking. it's not a trap. πŸ™


that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that reading session πŸ’…βœ¨

this one came from ASIM/LIP6, dated October 1, 1997 β€” yeah, she's an elder but she still serves πŸ‘‘πŸ«Ά
