INCBDDREFEXT(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet incbddrefext — she increments the external reference of a bdd node. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly, no cap. 💅

---

🌸 ORIGIN 🌸

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

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include "bdd101.h"
bddnode ∗incbddrefext( BddNode )
  bddnode ∗BddNode;

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• BddNode — the bdd node. just the node. the one and only. she's the main character here 👑

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, incbddrefext increments the number of external reference of the bdd node BddNode. that's the vibe. one node goes in, its external ref count goes up by one, and honestly? iconic. ✨

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

incbddrefext returns the BddNode pointer. same pointer you handed her, she just hands it right back, glowing and slightly more referenced than before 🫶

---

💜 EXAMPLE 💜

#include "bdd101.h"
   bddsystem  ∗BddSystem;
   bddcircuit ∗BddCircuit;
   bddnode    ∗BddNode;
   chain_list ∗Expr;
   BddSystem  = createbddsystem( 100, 1000, 100, 50000 );
   BddCircuit = createbddcircuit( "hello_world", 10, 10, BddSystem );
   BddNode = addbddcircuitin( (bddcircuit ∗)0, "i0", 0, BDD_IN_MODE_FIRST );
   BddNode = addbddnode( (bddsystem ∗)0, BddNode->INDEX, BddNode->LOW, BddNode->HIGH );
   Expr = convertbddcircuitabl( (bddcircuit ∗)0, BddNode );
   incbddrefext( BddNode );
   /* displays Node VAR: 0  INDEX: 2  MARK: 0  REF_EXT: 2  REF_INT: 0 */
   viewbddnode( (bddsystem ∗)0, BddNode );
   /* displays (not i0) */
   viewablexpr( Expr, ABL_VIEW_VHDL );
   freeablexpr( Expr );
   destroybddsystem( (bddsystem ∗)0 );
   destroybddcircuit( (bddcircuit ∗)0 );

see that REF_EXT: 2?? yeah. that's her. she ate. 🔥 (and shoutout to "hello_world" being the circuit name, we love a humble queen 🍓)

💀 BUG REPORT 💀

this tool is under development at the ASIM department of the LIP6 laboratory. we need your feedback to improve documentation and tools. 🥺👉👈

like pls, they're literally asking. send the feedback. be the bestie they deserve. 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this one came from the ASIM/LIP6 girlies, dated October 1, 1997, and it lives in the BDD FUNCTIONS manual as INCBDDREFEXT(3). stay referenced, stay external, ily 💖✨🎀🦋
