Members

---

Expression ( string src, int scope = 0 ) #

Creates the expression from the specified source buffer.

Arguments

• string src - Source buffer pointer.
• int scope - 1 to treat the expression namespace as the global; otherwise, 0 (by default).

int isCompiled ( ) #

Returns a value indicating if the given expression has been compiled.

Return value

1 if the expression has been compiled; otherwise, 0.

int getFunction ( string name, int num_args ) #

Returns the ID of the function from the expression namespace. It can be used to call a function by its ID instead of the name (speeds up the function call; it is almost as fast the direct call).

Arguments

• string name - Name of the function.
• int num_args - Number of function arguments.

Return value

Function ID.

int isFunction ( string name, int num_args ) #

Checks if a given user-defined function exists in the expression namespace.

Arguments

• string name - Full name of the target function.
• int num_args - Number of arguments of the target function.

Return value

1 if the function exists; otherwise, 0.

void setName ( string name ) #

Sets a namespace name for the expression that can be used when calling expression methods.

Arguments

• string name - Namespace name.

string getName ( ) #

Get a name used as a namespace name when calling expression methods.

Return value

Namespace name.

void setVariable ( string name, variable value ) #

Set the value of the variable from the expression namespace by its name.

Arguments

• string name - Variable name.
• variable value - Variable value to set.

variable getVariable ( string name ) #

Returns ID of the variable from the expression namespace. It can be used to pass a variable by its ID instead of the name. It speeds up passing of the variable and can be used when performance is crucial.

Arguments

• string name - Variable name.

Return value

Variable, if it exists; otherwise, 0.

int isVariable ( string name ) #

Checks if a given user-defined variable exists in the expression namespace.

Arguments

• string name - Name of the target variable.

Return value

1 if the variable exists; otherwise, 0.

variable run ( ) #

Runs the given expression.

Return value

Argument value.

int saveState ( Stream stream ) #

Saves the expression data (all its parameters) to the specified binary stream.

Arguments

• Stream stream - Stream to which the expression data will be saved.

Return value

1 if the expression data is saved successfully; otherwise, 0.

int restoreState ( Stream stream ) #

Restores the data of the expression (all its parameters) from the specified binary stream.

Arguments

• Stream stream - Stream in which the saved expression data is stored.

Return value

1 if the expression data is restored successfully; otherwise, 0.
