[00 - INTRODUCTION]
The C++ Mathematical Expression  Toolkit Library (ExprTk) is  a simple
to  use,   easy  to   integrate  and   extremely  efficient   run-time
mathematical  expression parsing  and evaluation  engine. The  parsing
engine  supports numerous  forms  of  functional and  logic processing
semantics and is easily extendible.

|  !=, <>  | to strings and are applied in a case sensitive manner.  |
|  <=, >=  | In the following example x, y and z are of type string. |
|  < , >   | (eg: not((x <= 'AbC') and ('1x2y3z' <> y)) or (z == x)  |
+----------+---------------------------------------------------------+

+----------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| like     | True only if the string x matches the pattern y.        |
|          | Available wildcard characters are '*' and '?' denoting  |

| switch   | The first true case condition that is encountered will  |

|          | a multi-way branch mechanism.                           |

Note: In  the  above  tables, the  symbols x, y, z, w, u  and v  where
appropriate may represent any of one the following:

   1. Literal numeric/string value
   2. A variable
   3. A vector element
   4. A vector
   5. A string
   6. An expression comprised of [1], [2] or [3] (eg: 2 + x / vec[3])



[09 - Fundamental Types]
ExprTk supports three fundamental types which can be used freely in
expressions. The types are as follows:

   1. Scalar
   2. Vector
   3. String


(1) Scalar Type
The scalar type  is a singular  numeric value. The  underlying type is
that used  to specialize  the ExprTk  components (float,  double, long
double MPFR et al).


(2) Vector Type
The vector type is  a fixed size sequence  of scalar values. A  vector
can  be indexed  resulting in  a scalar  value. Operations  between a
vector and scalar will result in a vector with a size equal to that of
the original vector, whereas operations between vectors will result in
a vector of size equal to that of the smaller of the two.


(3) String Type
The string type is a variable length sequence of 8-bit chars.  Strings
can be  assigned and  concatenated to  one another,  they can  also be
manipulated via sub-ranges using the range definition syntax.  Strings
however can not interact with scalar or vector types.



[10 - COMPONENTS]
There are three primary components, that are specialized upon a  given
numeric type, which make up the core of ExprTk. The components are  as
follows:

   1. Symbol Table  exprtk::symbol_table<NumericType>
   2. Expression    exprtk::expression<NumericType>
   3. Parser        exprtk::parser<NumericType>


(1) Symbol Table
A structure that is used  to store references to variables,  constants
and functions that are to  be used within expressions. Furthermore  in
the context  of composited  recursive functions  the symbol  table can
also be thought of as a simple representation of a stack specific  for
the expression(s) that reference it. The following is a list of the
types a symbol table can handle:

   (a) Numeric variables
   (b) Numeric constants
   (c) Numeric vector elements
   (d) String variables
   (e) String constants
   (f) Functions
   (g) Vararg functions

During the compilation  process if an  expression is found  to require
any  of  the  elements   noted  above,  the  expression's   associated
symbol_table  will  be  queried  for  the  element  and  if  present a
reference to the element will be embedded within the expression's AST.
This allows for the original  element to be modified independently  of
the  expression  instance  and  to also  allow  the  expression  to be
evaluated using the current value of the element.

The  example  below demonstrates  the  relationship between variables,
symbol_table and expression. Note  the variables are modified  as they
normally would in a program, and when the expression is  evaluated the
current values assigned to the variables will be used.

   typedef exprtk::symbol_table<double> symbol_table_t;
   typedef exprtk::expression<double>     expression_t;
   typedef exprtk::parser<double>             parser_t;

   symbol_table_t symbol_table;
   expression_t   expression;
   parser_t       parser;

   double x = 0;
   double y = 0;

   std::string expression_string = "x * y + 3";
   symbol_table.add_variable("x",x);
   symbol_table.add_variable("y",y);

   expression.register_symbol_table(symbol_table);

   parser.compile(expression_string,expression);

   x = 1.0;
   y = 2.0;
   expression.value(); // 1 * 2 + 3

   x = 3.7;
   expression.value(); // 3.7 * 2 + 3

   y = -9.0;
   expression.value(); // 3.7 * -9 + 3

   // 'x * -9 + 3' for x in range of [0,100) in steps of 0.0001
   for (var x = 0; x < 100; x += 0.0001)
   {
      expression.value(); // x * -9 + 3
   }


(2) Expression
A structure that holds an abstract syntax tree or AST for a  specified
expression and is used to evaluate said expression. Evaluation of  the
expression is accomplished by performing a post-order traversal of the
AST.  If  a  compiled  Expression  uses  variables  or  user   defined
functions, it will have an associated Symbol Table, which will contain
references  to said  variables, functions  or string.  An example  AST
structure for the denoted expression is as follows:

Expression:  z := (x + y^-2.345) * sin(pi / min(w - 7.3,v))

                  [Root]
                    |
               [Assignment]
        ________/        \_____
       /                       \
 Variable(z)            [Multiplication]
                ____________/      \___________
               /                               \
              /                          [Unary-Func(sin)]
         [Addition]                            |
      ____/      \____                    [Division]
     /                \                 ___/      \___
 Variable(x)   [Exponentiation]        /              \
              ______/   \______  Constant(pi)  [Binary-Func(min)]
             /                 \                ____/    \____
        Variable(y)        [Negation]          /              \
                               |              /           Variable(v)
                        Constant(2.345)      /
                                            /
                                     [Subtraction]
                                   ____/      \____
                                  /                \
                             Variable(w)      Constant(7.3)


(3) Parser
A structure which takes as input a string representation of  an
expression and attempts to  compile said input with  the result
being an  instance of  Expression. If  an error  is encountered
during the compilation process, the parser will stop  compiling
and  return  an  error  status  code,  with  a  more   detailed
description of the error(s)  and its location within  the input
provided by the 'get_error' interface.



[11 - COMPILATION OPTIONS]
The exprtk::parser  when being  instantiated takes  as input  a set of
options  to be  used during  the compilation  process of  expressions.
An  example instantiation  of exprtk::parser  where only  the  joiner,
commutative and strength reduction options are enabled is as  follows:

   typedef exprtk::parser<NumericType> parser_t;

   std::size_t compile_options = parser_t::e_joiner            +
                                 parser_t::e_commutative_check +
                                 parser_t::e_strength_reduction;

   parser_t parser(compile_options);


Currently  seven  types of  compile  time options  are  supported, and
enabled by default. The options and their explanations are as follows:

(1) Replacer (e_replacer)
Enable replacement of specific  tokens with other tokens.  For example
the token  "true" of  type symbol  will be  replaced with  the numeric
token of value one.

   (a) (x < y) == true   --->  (x < y) == 1
   (b) false == (x > y)  --->  0 == (x > y)


(2) Joiner (e_joiner)
Enable  joining  of  multi-character  operators  that  may  have  been
incorrectly  disjoint in the  string  representation  of the specified
expression. For example the consecutive tokens of ">" "=" will  become
">=" representing  the "greater  than or  equal to"  operator. If  not
properly resolved the  original form will  cause a compilation  error.
The  following  is  a listing  of the  scenarios that  the joiner  can
handle:

   (a) '>' '='  --->  '>='  (gte)
   (b) '<' '='  --->  '<='  (lte)
   (c) '=' '='  --->  '=='  (equal)
   (d) '!' '='  --->  '!='  (not-equal)
   (e) '<' '>'  --->  '<>'  (not-equal)
   (f) ':' '='  --->  ':='  (assignment)
   (g) '+' '='  --->  '+='  (addition assignment)
   (h) '-' '='  --->  '-='  (subtraction assignment)
   (i) '*' '='  --->  '*='  (multiplication assignment)
   (j) '/' '='  --->  '/='  (division assignment)
   (k) '%' '='  --->  '%='  (modulo assignment)
   (l) '<=' '>' --->  '<=>' (swap)


An example of the transformation that takes place is as follows:

   (a) (x > = y) and (z ! = w)  --->  (x >= y) and (z != w)


(3) Numeric Check (e_numeric_check)
Enable validation of tokens representing numeric types so as to  catch
any errors prior  to the costly  process of the  main compilation step
commencing.


(4) Bracket Check (e_bracket_check)
Enable  the  check for  validating  the ordering  of  brackets in  the
specified expression.


(5) Sequence Check (e_sequence_check)
Enable the  check for  validating that  sequences of  either pairs  or
triplets of tokens make sense.  For example the following sequence  of
tokens when encountered will raise an error:

   (a) (x + * 3)  --->  sequence error


(6) Commutative Check (e_commutative_check)
Enable the check that will transform sequences of pairs of tokens that
imply a multiplication operation.  The following are some  examples of
such transformations:

   (a) 2x             --->  2 * x
   (b) 25x^3          --->  25 * x^3
   (c) 3(x + 1)       --->  3 * (x + 1)
   (d) (x + 1)4       --->  (x + 1) * 4
   (e) 5foo(x,y)      --->  5 * foo(x,y)
   (f) foo(x,y)6 + 1  --->  foo(x,y) * 6 + 1
   (g) (4((2x)3))     --->  4 * ((2 * x) * 3)


(7) Strength Reduction Check (e_strength_reduction)
Enable  the  use  of  strength  reduction  optimisations  during   the
compilation  process.  In  ExprTk  strength  reduction   optimisations
predominantly involve  transforming sub-expressions  into other  forms
that  are algebraically  equivalent yet  less costly  to compute.  The
following are examples of the various transformations that can occur:

   (a) (x / y) / z        --->  x / (y * z)
   (b) (x / y) / (z / w)  --->  (x * w) / (y * z)
   (c) (2 * x) - (2 * y)  --->  2 * (x - y)
   (d) (2 / x) / (3 / y)  --->  (2 / 3) / (x * y)
   (e) (2 * x) * (3 * y)  --->  (2 * 3) * (x * y)

Note:
When using  strength reduction  in conjunction  with expressions whose
inputs or sub-expressions may result  in values nearing either of  the
bounds of the underlying numeric  type (eg: double), there may  be the
possibility of a decrease in the precision of results.

In  the following  example the  given expression  which represents  an
attempt at computing the average  between x and y will  be transformed
as follows:

   (x * 0.5) + (y * 0.5) ---> 0.5 * (x + y)

There  may be  situations where  the above  transformation will  cause
numerical overflows and  that the original  form of the  expression is
desired over the strength reduced form. In these situations it is best
to turn off strength reduction optimisations  or to use a type with  a
larger numerical bound.



[12 - SPECIAL FUNCTIONS]
The purpose  of special  functions in  ExprTk is  to provide  compiler
generated equivalents of common mathematical expressions which can  be
invoked by  using the  'special function'  syntax (eg:  $f12(x,y,z) or
$f82(x,y,z,w)).

Special functions dramatically decrease  the total evaluation time  of
expressions which would otherwise  have been written using  the common
form by reducing the total number  of nodes in the evaluation tree  of
an  expression  and  by  also  leveraging  the  compiler's  ability to
correctly optimize such expressions for a given architecture.

   $f44(x,y,z) | x * sin(y)-z      $f92(x,y,z,w) | (x and y) ? z : w
   $f45(x,y,z) | x * cos(y)+z      $f93(x,y,z,w) | (x or  y) ? z : w
   $f46(x,y,z) | x * cos(y)-z      $f94(x,y,z,w) | (x <   y) ? z : w
   $f47(x,y,z) | x ? y : z         $f95(x,y,z,w) | (x <=  y) ? z : w
                                   $f96(x,y,z,w) | (x >   y) ? z : w
                                   $f97(x,y,z,w) | (x >=  y) ? z : w
                                   $f98(x,y,z,w) | (x ==  y) ? z : w
                                   $f99(x,y,z,w) | x*sin(y)+z*cos(w)



[13 - VARIABLE & VECTOR DEFINITION]
ExprTk  supports  the  definition of  expression  local  variables and
vectors. The definitions  must be unique  as shadowing is  not allowed
and  object  life-times  are  based  on  scope.  Definitions  use  the
following general form:

   var <name> := <initialiser>;

(1) Variable Definition
Variables are  of numeric  type denoting  a single  value. They can be
explicitly initialised to a value, otherwise they will be defaulted to
zero. The following are examples of variable definitions:

   (a) Initialise x to zero
       var x;

   (b) Initialise y to three
       var y := 3;

   (c) Initialise z to the expression
       var z := if(max(1,x + y) > 2,w,v);


(2) Vector Definition
Vectors are arrays of a common numeric type. The elements in a  vector
can be explicitly initialised, otherwise they will all be defaulted to
zero. The following are examples of vector definitions:

   (a) Initialise all values to zero
       var x[3];

   (b) Initialise all values to zero
       var x[3] := {};

   (c) Initialise all values to given expression
       var x[3] := [123 + 3y + sin(w/z)];

   (d) Initialise the first two values, all other elements to zero
       var x[3] := { 1 + x[2], sin(y[0] / x[]) + 3 };

   (e) Initialise the first three (all) values
       var x[3] := { 1, 2, 3 };

   (f) Error as there are too many initialisers
       var x[3] := { 1, 2, 3, 4 };

   (g) Error as a vector of size zero is not allowed.
       var x[0];


(3) Return Value
Variable and vector  definitions have a  return value. In  the case of
variable definitions, the value  to which the variable  is initialised
will be returned. Where as for vectors, the value of the first element
(eg: v[0]) will be returned.


(4) Variable/Vector Assignment
The value of a variable can be assigned to a vector and a vector or  a
vector expression can be assigned to a variable.

  (a) Variable To Vector:
      Every element of the vector is assigned the value of the variable
      or expression.
      var x    := 3;
      var y[3] := { 1, 2, 3 };
      y := x + 1;

  (b) Vector To Variable:
      The variable is assigned the value of the first element of the
      vector (aka vec[0])
      var x    := 3;
      var y[3] := { 1, 2, 3 };
      x := y + 1;



[14 - VECTOR PROCESSING]
ExprTk  provides  support  for   various  forms  of  vector   oriented
arithmetic, inequalities and  processing. The various  supported pairs
are as follows:

   (a) vector and vector (eg: v0 + v1)
   (b) vector and scalar (eg: v  + 33)
   (c) scalar and vector (eg: 22 *  v)

The following is a list of operations that can be used in  conjunction
with vectors:

   (a) Arithmetic:       +, -, *, /, %
   (b) Exponentiation:   vector ^ scalar
   (c) Assignment:       :=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, <=>
   (d) Inequalities:     <, <=, >, >=, ==, =
   (e) Unary operations:
       abs, acos, acosh, asin, asinh, atan, atanh, ceil, cos, cosh,
       cot, csc, deg2grad, deg2rad, erf, erfc, exp, expm1, floor,
       frac, grad2deg, log, log10, log1p, log2, rad2deg, round, sec,
       sgn, sin, sinc, sinh, sqrt, swap, tan, tanh, trunc
   (f) Aggregate and Reduce operations:
       avg, max, min, mul, sum

Note: When one of  the above  described operations  is being performed
between two  vectors, the  operation will  only span  the size  of the
smallest vector.  The elements  of the  larger vector  outside of  the
range will not be included.

The  following  simple  example  demonstrates  the  vector  processing
capabilities by computing the dot-product of the vectors v0 and v1 and
then assigning it to the variable v0dotv1:

   var v0[3] := { 1, 2, 3 };
   var v1[3] := { 4, 5, 6 };
   var v0dotv1 := sum(v0 * v1);


The following is a for-loop based implementation that is equivalent to
the previously mentioned dot-product computation expression:

   var v0[3] := { 1, 2, 3 };
   var v1[3] := { 4, 5, 6 };
   var v0dotv1;

   for (var i := 0; i < min(v0[],v1[]); i += 1)
   {
     v0dotv1 += (v0[i] * v1[i]);
   }


Note: In the scenario of inequalities between two vectors, the  result
is not  a vector  but rather  a singular  variable denoting  a boolean
state  of either  'true' or  'false' depending  on the  nature of  the
inequality.

   var x[3] := { 1, 1, 1 };
   var y[3] := { 3, 2, 1 };

   y > x == false


Note:  When  the  aggregate  operations  denoted  above  are  used  in
conjunction with a  vector or vector  expression, the return  value is
not a vector but rather a single value.

   var x[3] := { 1, 2, 3 };

   sum(1 + 2x) == 15
   avg(3x + 1) ==  7
   min(1 / x)  == (1 / 3)
   max(x / 2)  == (3 / 2)



[15 - USER DEFINED FUNCTIONS]
ExprTk provides a means  whereby custom functions can  be defined  and
utilized within  expressions.  The   concept  requires  the  user   to
provide a reference  to the function  coupled with an  associated name
that will be invoked within expressions. Function can take in numerous
inputs but will always return a single value of the underlying numeric
type.

During  expression  compilation  when required  the  reference  to the
function  will be  obtained from  the associated  symbol_table and  be
embedded into the expression.

There are two types of function interface:

   (1) ifunction
   (2) ivararg_function
   (3) igeneric_function
   (4) igeneric_function II
   (5) function_compositor


(1) ifunction
This  interface  supports  zero  to  20  input  parameters.  The usage
requires a custom function be  derived from ifunction and to  override
one  of the  21 function  operators. As  part of  the constructor  the
custom function will define how many parameters it expects to  handle.
The following example defines a 3 parameter function called 'foo':

   template <typename T>
   struct foo : public exprtk::ifunction<T>
   {
      foo() : exprtk::ifunction<T>(3)
      {}

      T operator()(const T& v1, const T& v2, const T& v3)
      {
         return T(1) + (v1 * v2) / T(v3);
      }
   };


(2) ivararg_function
This interface supports a variable  number of arguments as input  into
the  function.  The  function operator  interface  uses  a std::vector
specialized upon type T to facilitate parameter passing. The following
example defines a vararg function called 'boo':

   template <typename T>
   struct boo : public exprtk::ivararg_function<T>
   {
      inline T operator()(const std::vector<T>& arglist)
      {
         T result = T(0);

         for (std::size_t i = 0; i < arglist.size(); ++i)
         {
            result += arglist[i] / arglist[i > 0 ? (i - 1) : 0];
         }

         return result;
      }
   };


(3) igeneric_function
This interface supports  a variable number  of arguments and  types as
input  into  the  function. The  function  operator  interface uses  a
std::vector  specialized  upon  the  type_store  type  to   facilitate
parameter passing.

    Scalar <-- function(i_0, i_1, i_2....., i_N)


The  fundamental  types  that  can  be  passed  into  the  function as
parameters and their views are as follows:

   (1) Scalar - scalar_view
   (2) Vector - vector_view
   (3) String - string_view

The above denoted type  views provide non-const reference-like  access
to each parameter, as such modifications made to the input  parameters
will  persist after  the function  call has  completed. The  following
example defines a generic function called 'too':

   template <typename T>
   struct too : public exprtk::igeneric_function<T>
   {
      typedef typename exprtk::igeneric_function<T>::parameter_list_t
                                                     parameter_list_t;

      too()
      {}

      inline T operator()(parameter_list_t parameters)
      {
         for (std::size_t i = 0; i < parameters.size(); ++i)
         {
            ...
         }
         return T(0);
      }
   };


In the above example, the input 'parameters' to the function operator,
parameter_list_t,  is  a  type  of  std::vector  of  type_store.  Each
type_store  instance  has  a  member  called  'type'  which  holds the
enumeration pertaining  the underlying  type of  the type_store. There
are three type enumerations:

   (1) e_scalar - literals, variables, vector elements, expressions
       eg: 123.456, x, vec[3x + 1], 2x + 3

   (2) e_vector - vectors, vector expressions
       eg: vec1, 2 * vec1 + vec2 / 3

   (3) e_string - strings, string literals and range variants of both
       eg: 'AString', s0, 'AString'[x:y], s1[1 + x:] + 'AString'


Each of the  parameters can be  accessed using its  designated view. A
typical loop for processing the parameters is as follows:

   inline T operator()(parameter_list_t parameters)
   {
      typedef typename exprtk::igeneric_function<T>::generic_type
                                                     generic_type;

      typedef typename generic_type::scalar_view scalar_t;
      typedef typename generic_type::vector_view vector_t;
      typedef typename generic_type::string_view string_t;

      for (std::size_t i = 0; i < parameters.size(); ++i)
      {
         generic_type& gt = parameters[i];

         if (generic_type::e_scalar == gt.type)
         {
            scalar_t x(gt);
            ...
         }
         else if (generic_type::e_vector == gt.type)
         {
            vector_t vector(gt);
            ...
         }
         else if (generic_type::e_string == gt.type)
         {
            string_t string(gt);
            ...
         }
      }

      return T(0);
   }


Most often than not a custom generic function will require a  specific
sequence of parameters, rather than some arbitrary sequence of  types.
In those situations, ExprTk can perform compile-time type checking  to
validate that function invocations  are carried out using  the correct
sequence of parameters. Furthermore  performing the checks at  compile
-time rather than at run-time (aka every time the function is invoked)
will result in expression evaluation performance gains.

Compile-time type  checking of  input parameters  can be  requested by
passing  a string  to the  constructor of  the igeneric_function  that
represents the required sequence of parameter types. When no parameter
sequence is provided, it is implied the function can accept a variable
number of parameters comprised of any of the fundamental types.

Each fundamental type has an  associated character. The following is a
listing of said characters and their meanings:

   (1) T - Scalar
   (2) V - Vector
   (3) S - String
   (4) ? - Any type (Scalar, Vector or String)
   (5) * - Wildcard operator
   (6) | - Parameter sequence delimiter


No other characters other than  the six denoted above may  be included
in the parameter sequence  definition. If any such  invalid characters
do exist, registration of the associated generic function to a  symbol
table ('add_function' method) will fail. If the parameter sequence  is
modified resulting in it becoming  invalid after having been added  to
the symbol table but before the compilation step, a compilation  error
will be incurred.

The  following   example  demonstrates   a  simple   generic  function
implementation with a user specified parameter sequence:

   template <typename T>
   struct moo : public exprtk::igeneric_function<T>
   {
      typedef typename exprtk::igeneric_function<T>::parameter_list_t
                                                     parameter_list_t;

      moo()
      : exprtk::igeneric_function<T>("SVTT")
      {}

      inline T operator()(parameter_list_t parameters)
      {
         ...
      }
   };


In the example above the  generic function 'moo' expects exactly  four
parameters in the following sequence:

   (1) String
   (2) Vector
   (3) Scalar
   (4) Scalar


(4) igeneric_function II
This interface is identical to  the igeneric_function, in that in  can
consume an  arbitrary number  of parameters  of varying  type, but the
difference being  that the  function returns  a string  and as such is
treated as a string when  invoked within expressions. As a  result the
function call can  alias a string  and interact with  other strings in
situations such as concatenation and equality operations.

    String <-- function(i_0, i_1, i_2....., i_N)


The following example defines an generic function named 'toupper' with
the string return type function operator being explicitly overridden:

   template <typename T>
   struct toupper : public exprtk::igeneric_function<T>
   {
      typedef exprtk::igeneric_function<T> igenfunct_t
      typedef typename igenfunct_t::generic_type generic_t;
      typedef typename igenfunct_t::parameter_list_t parameter_list_t;
      typedef typename generic_t::string_view string_t;

      toupper()
      : exprtk::igeneric_function<T>("S")
      {}

      inline T operator()(std::string& result,
                          parameter_list_t parameters)
      {
         result.clear();
         for (std::size_t i = 0; i < string.size(); ++i)
         {
            result += std::toupper(string[i]);
         }
         return T(0);
      }
   };


In the example above the  generic function 'toupper' expects only  one
input parameter  of type  string, as  noted by  the parameter sequence
string passed during the constructor. When executed, the function will
return as a result a copy  of the input string converted to  uppercase
form. An example expression  using the toupper function  registered as
the symbol 'toupper' is as follows:

   "'ABCDEF' == toupper('aBc') + toupper('DeF')"


Note: When adding a string type returning generic function to a symbol
table,  the  'add_function'  is   invoked  with  an  extra   parameter
(e_ft_strfunc) that denotes the function should be treated as a string
returning function type. The  following example demonstrates how  this
is done:

   toupper<T> tu;

   exprtk::symbol_table<T> symbol_table;

   symbol_table.add_function("toupper",
                             tu,
                             symbol_table_t::e_ft_strfunc);


Note: There are two further refinements to the type checking  facility
are the possibilities of a  variable number of common types  which can
be accomplished by using a wildcard '*' and a special 'any type' which
is done using the '?' character. It should be noted that the  wildcard
operator is  associated with  the previous  type in  the sequence  and
implies one or more of that type.

   template <typename T>
   struct zoo : public exprtk::igeneric_function<T>
   {
      typedef typename exprtk::igeneric_function<T>::parameter_list_t
                                                     parameter_list_t;

      zoo()
      : exprtk::igeneric_function<T>("SVT*V?")
      {}

      inline T operator()(parameter_list_t parameters)
      {
         ...
      }
   };


In the example above the generic function 'zoo' expects at least  five
parameters in the following sequence:

   (1) String
   (2) Vector
   (3) One or more Scalars
   (4) Vector
   (5) Any type (one type of either a scalar, vector or string)


A final  piece of  type checking  functionality is  available for  the
scenarios where  a single function name  is intended  to be  used for
multiple distinct parameter sequences.  Two specific overrides of  the
function operator are provided one for standard generic functions  and
one for string returning functions. The overrides are as follows:

      // f(psi,i_0,i_1,....,i_N) --> Scalar
      inline T operator()(const std::size_t& ps_index,
                          parameter_list_t parameters)
      {
         ...
      }

      // f(psi,i_0,i_1,....,i_N) --> String
      inline T operator()(const std::size_t& ps_index,
                          std::string& result,
                          parameter_list_t parameters)
      {
         ...
      }


When the function  operator is invoked  the 'ps_index' parameter  will
have as its value the index of the parameter sequence that matches the
specific invocation. This way complex and time consuming type checking
conditions need not  be executed in  the function itself  but rather a
simple and efficient  dispatch to a  specific implementation for  that
particular parameter sequence can be performed.

   template <typename T>
   struct roo : public exprtk::igeneric_function<T>
   {
      typedef typename exprtk::igeneric_function<T>::parameter_list_t
                                                     parameter_list_t;

      moo()
      : exprtk::igeneric_function<T>("SVTT|SS|TTV|S?V*S")
      {}

      inline T operator()(parameter_list_t parameters)
      {
         ...
      }
   };


In the above example there are four distinct parameter sequences  that
can be processed  by the generic  function 'roo'. Any  other parameter
sequences will cause a compilation error. The valid four sequences are
as follows:

    Sequence-0     Sequence-1     Sequence-2     Sequence-3
      'SVTT'          'SS'           'TTV'        'S?V*S'
   (1) String     (1) String     (1) Scalar     (1) String
   (2) Vector     (2) String     (2) Scalar     (2) Any Type
   (3) Scalar                    (3) Vector     (3) One or more Vectors
   (4) Scalar                                   (4) String


(5) function_compositor
The function compositor interface allows  a user to define a  function
using ExprTk syntax. The functions  are limited to returning a  single
scalar value and consuming up to six parameters as input.

All composited functions are registered with a symbol table,  allowing
them to call other functions that have been registered with the symbol
table instance, furthermore the functions can be recursive in  nature.
The following example defines, using two different methods, composited
functions then  implicitly registers  the functions  with the  denoted
symbol table.

   typedef exprtk::symbol_table<T>         symbol_table_t;
   typedef exprtk::function_compositor<T>    compositor_t;
   typedef typename compositor_t::function     function_t;

   symbol_table_t symbol_table;

   compositor_t compositor(symbol_table);

   // define function koo0(v1,v2) { ... }
   compositor
      .add("koo0",
           " 1 + cos(v1 * v2) / 3;",
           "v1","v2");

   // define function koo1(x,y,z) { ... }
   compositor
      .add(function_t()
         .name("koo1")
         .var("x").var("y").var("z")
         .expression("1 + cos(x * y) / z;"));


(4) Using Functions In Expressions
For the above denoted custom and composited functions to be used in an
expression, an instance of each function needs to be registered with a
symbol_table that  has been  associated with  the expression instance.
The following demonstrates how all the pieces are put together:

   typedef exprtk::symbol_table<double>    symbol_table_t;
   typedef exprtk::expression<double>        expression_t;
   typedef exprtk::parser<double>                parser_t;
   typedef exprtk::function_compositor<T>    compositor_t;
   typedef typename compositor_t::function     function_t;

   foo<double> f;
   boo<double> b;
   too<double> t;
   toupper<double> tu;

   symbol_table_t symbol_table;
   compositor_t   compositor(symbol_table);

   symbol_table.add_function("foo",f);
   symbol_table.add_function("boo",b);
   symbol_table.add_function("too",t);

   symbol_table.add_function("toupper",
                             tu,
                             symbol_table_t::e_ft_strfunc);

   compositor
      .add(function_t()
         .name("koo")
         .var("v1")
         .var("v2")
         .expression("1 + cos(v1 * v2) / 3;"));

   expression_t expression;
   expression.register_symbol_table(symbol_table);

   std::string expression_str =
                " if (foo(1,2,3) + boo(1) > boo(1/2,2/3,3/4,4/5)) "
                "   koo(3,4);                                     "
                " else                                            "
                "   too(2 * v1 + v2 / 3, 'abcdef'[2:4], 3.3);     "
                "                                                 ";

   parser_t parser;
   parser.compile(expression_str,expression);

   expression.value();


(5) Function Side-Effects
All function calls are assumed  to have side-effects by default.  This
assumption implicitly disables constant folding optimisations when all
parameters being passed to the function are deduced as being constants
at compile time.

If it is certain that the function being registered does not have  any
side effects and can  be correctly constant folded  where appropriate,
then  during the construction of the function a 'false' can be  passed
to the constructor to denote the lack of side-effects.

   template <typename T>
   struct foo : public exprtk::ifunction<T>
   {
      foo() : exprtk::ifunction<T>(3,false)
      {}

      T operator()(const T& v1, const T& v2, const T& v3)
      { ... }
   };


(6) Zero Parameter Functions
When either an ifunction  or ivararg_function derived type  is defined
with  zero number  of parameters,  there are  two calling  conventions
within expressions that are allowed.  For a function named 'foo'  with
zero input parameters the calling styles are as follows:

   (1)  x + sin(foo()- 2) / y
   (2)  x + sin(foo  - 2) / y



[16 - COMPILATION ERRORS]
When attempting to compile  a malformed or otherwise  erroneous ExprTk
expression, the  compilation process  will result  in an  error, as is
indicated  by  the  'compile'  method  returning  a  false  value.   A
diagnostic indicating the first error encountered and its cause can be
obtained by  invoking the  'error' method,  as is  demonstrated in the
following example:

   if (!parser.compile(expression_string,expression))
   {
      printf("Error: %s\n", parser.error().c_str());
      return 1;
   }


Any error(s) resulting from a failed compilation will be stored in the
parser instance until the next time a compilation is performed. Before
then errors can be enumerated  in the order they occurred  by invoking
the 'get_error' method which itself will return a 'parser_error' type.
A parser_error object will contain an error diagnostic, an error  mode
(or class), and the character position of the error in the  expression
string. The following example demonstrates the enumeration of error(s)
in the event of a failed compilation.

   if (!parser.compile(expression_string,expression))
   {
      for (std::size_t i = 0; i < parser.error_count(); ++i)
      {
         typedef exprtk::parser_error::type error_t;

         error_t error = parser.get_error(i);

         printf("Error[%02d] Position: %02d Type: [%14s] Msg: %s\n",
                i,
                error.token.position,
                exprtk::parser_error::to_str(error.mode).c_str(),
                error.diagnostic.c_str());
      }

      return 1;
   }


For  expressions  comprised  of  multiple  lines,  the  error position
provided in the  parser_error object can  be converted into  a pair of
line and column numbers by invoking the 'update_error' function as  is
demonstrated by the following example:

   if (!parser.compile(program_str,expression))
   {
      for (std::size_t i = 0; i < parser.error_count(); ++i)
      {
         typedef exprtk::parser_error::type error_t;

         error_t error = parser.get_error(i);

         exprtk::parser_error::update_error(error,program_str);

         printf("Error[%02d] at line: %d column: %d\n",
                i,
                error.line_no,
                error.column_no);
      }

      return 1;
   }


Note: There are five  distinct error modes in  ExprTk which denote the
class of an error. These classes are as follows:

   (a) Syntax
   (b) Token
   (c) Numeric
   (d) Symbol Table
   (e) Lexer


(a) Syntax Errors
These are errors  related to invalid  syntax found within  the denoted
expression. Examples are invalid sequences of operators and variables,
incorrect number  of parameters  to functions,  invalid conditional or
loop structures and invalid use of keywords.

   eg:  'for := sin(x,y,z) + 2 * equal > until[2 - x,3]'


(b) Token Errors
Errors in this class relate to  token level errors detected by one  or
more of the following checkers:

   (1) Bracket Checker
   (2) Numeric Checker
   (3) Sequence Checker

(c) Numeric Errors
This class of  error is related  to conversion of  numeric values from
their  string form  to the  underlying numerical  type (float,  double
etc).

(d) Symbol Table Errors
This is the class of errors related to failures when interacting  with
the registered symbol_table instance. Errors such as not being able to
find,  within  the  symbol_table,  symbols  representing  variables or
functions, to being unable to create new variables in the symbol_table
via the 'unknown symbol resolver' mechanism.



[17 - EXPRTK NOTES]
The following is a list of facts and suggestions one may want to take
into account when using Exprtk:

 (00) Precision  and performance  of expression  evaluations are  the
      dominant principles of the ExprTk library.

 (01) ExprTk  uses a  rudimentary imperative  programming model  with
      syntax based  on languages  such as  Pascal and  C. Furthermore
      ExprTk  is  an LL(2)  type  grammar and  is  processed using  a
      recursive descent parsing algorithm.

 (02) Supported types are float, double, long double and MPFR/GMP.

 (03) Standard mathematical operator precedence is applied (BEDMAS).

 (04) Results of expressions that are deemed as being 'valid' are  to
      exist within the set of Real numbers. All other results will be
      of the value: Not-A-Number (NaN).

 (05) Supported   user  defined   types   are   numeric  and   string
      variables, numeric vectors and functions.

 (06) All  reserved words,  keywords, variable,  vector, string   and
      function names are case-insensitive.

 (07) Variable, vector and  function names must  begin with a  letter
      (A-Z  or a-z),  then  can  be comprised  of any  combination of
      letters, digits and underscores. (eg: x, var1 or power_func99)

 (08) Expression lengths and sub-expression lists are limited only by
      storage capacity.

 (09) The  life-time of  objects registered  with or  created from  a
      specific symbol-table must span  at least the life-time  of the
      compiled expressions which utilize objects, such as  variables,
      of that  symbol-table, otherwise  the result  will be undefined
      behavior.

 (10) Equal  and  Nequal  are  normalised-epsilon  equality routines,
      which use epsilons of 0.0000000001 and 0.000001 for double  and
      float types respectively.

 (11) All trigonometric functions  assume radian input  unless stated
      otherwise.

 (12) Expressions may contain  white-space characters such  as space,
      tabs, new-lines, control-feed et al.
      ('\n', '\r', '\t', '\b', '\v', '\f')

 (13) Strings may be comprised of any combination of letters, digits
      or special characters including (~!@#$%^&*()[]|=+ ,./?<>;:"`~_),
      and must be enclosed with single-quotes.
      eg: 'Frankly my dear, 1 do n0t give a damn!'

 (14) User defined  normal functions  can have  up to  20 parameters,
      where as  user defined  generic-functions and  vararg-functions
      can have an unlimited number of parameters.

 (15) The inbuilt polynomial functions can be at most of degree 12.

 (16) Where appropriate constant folding optimisations may be applied.
      (eg: The expression '2 + (3 - (x / y))' becomes '5 - (x / y)')

 (17) If the strength reduction compilation option has been enabled,
      then where applicable strength reduction optimisations may be
      applied.

 (18) String  processing capabilities  are available  by default.  To
      turn them  off, the  following needs  to be  defined at compile
      time: exprtk_disable_string_capabilities

 (19) Composited functions can call themselves or any other functions
      that have been defined prior to their own definition.

 (20) Recursive calls made from within composited functions will have
      a stack size bound by the stack of the executing architecture.

 (21) User  defined functions  by default  are assumed  to have  side
      effects. As such an "all constant parameter" invocation of such
      functions wont result in constant folding. If the function  has
      no side effects then that  can be noted during the  constructor
      of  the  ifunction  allowing it  to  be  constant folded  where
      appropriate.

 (22) The entity relationship between symbol_table and an  expression
      is one-to-many. Hence the  intended use case where  possible is
      to have a single symbol table manage the variable and  function
      requirements of multiple expressions.

 (23) The common use-case  for an expression  is to have  it compiled
      only  ONCE  and  then subsequently  have it  evaluated multiple
      times. An extremely  inefficient and suboptimal  approach would
      be to recompile an expression  from its string form every  time
      it requires evaluating.

 (24) The following are examples of compliant floating point value
      representations:

      (a) 12345        (e) -123.456
      (b) +123.456e+12 (f) 123.456E-12
      (c) +012.045e+07 (g) .1234
      (d) 123.456f     (h) -321.654E+3L

 (25) Expressions may contain any of the following comment styles:

      1. // .... \n
      2. #  .... \n
      3. /* .... */

 (26) The  'null'  value  type  is  a  special  non-zero  type   that
      incorporates specific semantics when undergoing operations with
      the standard numeric type. The following is a list of type  and
      boolean results associated with the use of 'null':

      1. null  +,-,*,/,%  x    --> x
      2. x     +,-,*,/,%  null --> x
      3. null  +,-,*,/,%  null --> null
      4. null     ==      null --> true
      5. null     ==      x    --> true
      6. x        ==      null --> true
      7. x        !=      null --> false
      8. null     !=      null --> false
      9. null     !=      x    --> false

 (27) The following is a list  of reserved words and symbols  used by
      ExprTk. Attempting to  add a variable  or custom function  to a
      symbol table using any of  the reserved words will result  in a
      failure.

      abs, acos, acosh, and, asin, asinh, atan, atan2, atanh, avg,
      break, case,  ceil, clamp,  continue, cosh,  cos, cot,  csc,
      default,  deg2grad, deg2rad,  else, equal,  erfc, erf,  exp,
      expm1, false, floor, for, frac, grad2deg, hypot, iclamp, if,
      ilike, in, inrange, in, like, log, log10, log1p, log2, logn,
      mand,  max,  min,  mod,  mor,  mul,  nand,  ncdf,  nor, not,
      not_equal,  not,  null,  or,  pow,  rad2deg,  repeat,  root,
      roundn, round, sec,  sgn, shl, shr,  sinc, sinh, sin,  sqrt,
      sum,  swap,  switch,  tanh, tan,  true,  trunc,  until, var,
      while, xnor, xor, xor

 (28) Every valid ExprTk statement is a "value returning" expression.
      Unlike some languages that limit the types of expressions  that
      can be  performed in  certain situations,  in ExprTk  any valid
      expression can be used in any "value consuming" context. eg:

      var y := 3;
      for (var x := switch
                    {
                      case 1 :  7;
                      case 2 : -1 + ~{var x{};};
                      default:  y > 2 ? 3 : 4;
                    };
           x != while (y > 0) { y -= 1; };
           x -= {if(min(x,y) < 2 * max(x,y))
                  x + 2;
                 else
                  x + y - 3;}
          )
      {
        (x + y) / (x - y);
      }

[19 - BUILD OPTIONS]
When building ExprTk there are a number of defines that will enable or
disable certain features and  capabilities. The defines can  either be
part of a compiler command line switch or scoped around the include to
the ExprTk header.

(1) exprtk_enable_debugging
This define will enable printing of debug information to stdout during
the compilation process.

(2) exprtk_disable_comments
This define will disable the ability for expressions to have comments.
Expressions that have comments when parsed with a build that has  this
option, will result in a compilation failure.

(3) exprtk_disable_break_continue
This  define  will  disable  the  loop-wise  'break'  and   'continue'
capabilities. Any expression that contains those keywords will  result
in a compilation failure.

(4) exprtk_disable_sc_andor
This define  will disable  the short-circuit  '&' (and)  and '|'  (or)
operators

(5) exprtk_disable_enhanced_features
This  define  will  disable all  enhanced  features  such as  strength
reduction and special  function optimisations and  expression specific
type instantiations.  This feature  will reduce  compilation times and
binary sizes but will  also result in massive  performance degradation
of expression evaluations.

(6) exprtk_disable_string_capabilities
This  define  will  disable all  string  processing  capabilities. Any
expression that contains a string or string related syntax will result
in a compilation failure.
