GETABLEXPRMIN(3)

💖 GETABLEXPRMIN 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about getablexprmin from the ABL FUNCTIONS crew (that's section 3 of the manual, iykyk). she's a real one. she takes your expression, runs your little cost function over every single operand, and hands you back the winner. main character energy fr fr. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

🫶 PARAMETERS 🫶

• Function — the cost function. she's the one doing the judging, no pressure babe 💅
• Expr — the expression we're scanning. the subject of the vibe check. 🔍

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

getablexprmin applies the cost function Function to all the operands of Expr. like, every single one. nobody gets skipped. 💖

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

getablexprmin returns the operand for which the function gives the minimum cost. the cheapest one. the budget queen. 👑

🚨 BESTIE LISTEN 🚨 the expression pointer returned MUSTN'T be modified after the call to this function. not even a little. hands off. no cap. 😭

🌈 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 = getablexprmin( MapFunction, Expr );

look at her go. iconic behaviour honestly. 🔥

mwah 💋 that's the whole page. this one came from ASIM/LIP6, dated October 1, 1997, and it lives in section 3 of the manual as GETABLEXPRMIN(3). go forth and find your minimum. periodt. 💅✨
