GETABLEXPRMAX(3)

✨ GETABLEXPRMAX ✨

okay bestie, welcome to a page from the ABL FUNCTIONS manual — it's GETABLEXPRMAX(3) and it's literally about finding the ✨most✨ extra operand in your expression. 💅

🌸 ORIGIN 🌸

This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM, developed by the ASIM team at the LIP6 laboratory of Université Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France. 🥖🇫🇷 iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include "abl101.h"
chain_list ∗getablexprmax( Function, Expr )
  int       (∗Function)();
  chain_list ∗Expr;

like. look at her. she's serving function-pointer-and-expression realness. no cap. 💖

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• Function — the cost function. your little judge-y scoring machine. she rates things. 🔥
• Expr — the expression to scan. this is the thing we're snooping through, respectfully. 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

getablexprmax applies the cost function Function to all operands of Expr. every single one. she's thorough, she's committed, she's giving main character energy. 🌈

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

getablexprmax returns the operand for which Function gives the maximum cost. she picks the winner. the one with the highest score. slay. 👑

🚨 okay this is the important part, don't scroll past: the expression pointer returned MUSTN'T be modified after the call to this function. like, hands off. do not touch. do not edit. it's giving fragile glass sculpture, not giving playground. 😭

💀 ERRORS 💀

getablexprmax error ... 🫠 that's genuinely all the original says bestie, I'm not gonna invent lore for it.

🌟 EXAMPLE 🌟

#include "abl101.h"
    int MapFunction( MapExpr )
      chain_list ∗MapExpr;
    {
      return( getabldepthexpr( MapExpr ) );
    }
    ...
    chain_list ∗Expr;
    chain_list ∗Expr1;
    Expr = createablbinexpr( ABL_AND,
                             createablatom( "a" ),
                             createablatom( "b" ) );
   Expr1 = getablexprmax( MapFunction, Expr );

not her building an ABL_AND of "a" and "b" and then asking which one has the deepest expression. obsessed. 🧚
