SIMPABLEXPR(3)

💖 SIMPABLEXPR — from the ABL FUNCTIONS girlies 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to simpablexpr(3), a lil member of the ABL FUNCTIONS manual family. this one is short, sweet, and honestly? a bop. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

simpablexpr — simplies an expression. 💅

---

🌸 ORIGIN 🌸

bestie this software is not just Some Code, it belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM, developed by the ASIM team at the LIP6 laboratory of Université Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France 🇫🇷✨

like… iconic academic institution energy, we love to see it 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include "abl101.h"
chain_list ∗simpablexpr( Expr )
  chain_list ∗Expr;

she takes one thing and she takes it directly. no argc, no argv, no drama. 😌

---

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• Expr — the Expression to simplfy. yes literally just hand her the expression and she'll do her thing 💜

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so simpablexpr simplifies Expr. that's the whole job description, she's efficient like that ✨

🚨 BESTIE LISTEN TO ME. The expression pointer Expr MUSTN'T be used after the call to this function. like, not even a lil peek. not even a vibe check. the pointer is done, she's moved on, you need to move on too. this is not a drill, this is a hard requirement 😭

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

simpablexpr returns a pointer to the simplied expression. that's your new bestie now. cherish her. 🥹

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

here's the whole thing in action, copy it exactly, no edits, we don't freestyle here:

#include "abl101.h"
  chain_list ∗Expr;
  Expr = createablbinexpr( ABL_AND,
                           createablatom( "'0'" ),
                           createablatom( "'1'" ) );
  Expr = simpablexpr( Expr );
  /* displays '0' */
  viewablexpr( Expr, ABL_VIEW_VHDL );

okay the way that '0' AND '1' gets simplified down to just '0'?? the math is mathing, the logic is logic-ing, she ATE and left no crumbs 🔥
