-<h2>What's new</h2>
-
-<p>What's new in v4.5.1
- <ul>
- <li>Reverted the automatic C++11 detection to a precompiler macro setting
- (<code>FP_SUPPORT_CPLUSPLUS11_MATH_FUNCS</code>) because not all
- compilers yet fully support the C++11 math functions.
- <li>Fixed a potential duplicate symbol problem that happens with explicit
- template instantiations.
- </ul>
-
-<p>What's new in v4.5
- <ul>
- <li>Removed support for the <code>"eval()"</code> function from the
- supported syntax. (This function was too dangerous, too difficult to
- maintain internally, not very useful, and more or less a gimmick in
- the first place.)
- <li>Removed several of the conditional compiling macro definitions, namely
- <code>FP_SUPPORT_TR1_MATH</code>, <code>FP_ENABLE_EVAL</code>,
- <code>FP_EVAL_MAX_REC_LEVEL</code>, <code>FP_NO_EVALUATION_CHECKS</code>
- and <code>FP_EPSILON</code>.
- <li>The epsilon value used in comparisons is now set with a member function
- of FunctionParser (which allows setting different values for different
- versions of the parser).
- <li>The math functions previously turned on with
- <code>FP_SUPPORT_TR1_MATH</code> are now automatically used if
- <code>__cplusplus</code> indicates that C++11 is in use.
- <li>Fixed some compilation problems with clang++.
- </ul>

-<a name="preface"></a>
-<h2>Preface</h2>
-
-<p>This C++ library offers a class which can be used to parse and evaluate a
-mathematical function from a string (which might be eg. requested from the
-user). The syntax of the function string is similar to mathematical expressions
-written in C/C++ (the exact syntax is specified later in this document).
-The function can then be evaluated with different values of variables.
-
-<p>For example, a function like "<code>sin(sqrt(x*x+y*y))</code>" can be
-parsed from a string (either <code>std::string</code> or a C-style string)
-and then evaluated with different values of <code>x</code> and <code>y</code>.
-This library can be useful for evaluating user-inputted functions, or in
-some cases interpreting mathematical expressions in a scripting language.
-
-<p>This library aims for maximum speed in both parsing and evaluation, while
-keeping maximum portability. The library should compile and work with any
-standard-conforming C++ compiler.
-
-<p>Different numerical types are supported: <code>double</code>,
- <code>float</code>, <code>long double</code>, <code>long int</code>,
- <code>std::complex</code> (of types <code>double</code>,
- <code>float</code> and <code>long double</code>),
- multiple-precision floating point numbers using the MPFR library, and
- arbitrary precision integers using the GMP library. (Note that it's
- not necessary for these two libraries to exist in the system in order
- to use the Function Parser library with the other numerical types. Support
- for these libraries is optionally compiled in using preprocessor settings.)
-
-
-<!-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-<a name="usage"></a>
-<h2>Usage</h2>
-
-<p>To use the <code>FunctionParser</code> class, you have to include
-<code>"fparser.hh"</code> in your source code files which use the
-<code>FunctionParser</code> class.
-
-<p>If you are going to use the MPFR version of the library, you need to
-include <code>"fparser_mpfr.hh"</code>. If you are going to use the GMP
-version of the library, you need to include <code>"fparser_gmpint.hh"</code>.
-(Note that support for these special parser versions needs to be specified
-with preprocessor macros. See the <a href="#parsertypes">documentation
-below</a> for details.)
-
-<p>When compiling, you have to compile <code>fparser.cc</code> and
-<code>fpoptimizer.cc</code> and link them to the main program. In many
-developement environments it's enough to add those two files to your
-current project (usually header files don't have to be added to the
-project for the compilation to work).
-
-<p>If you are going to use the MPFR or the GMP versions of the library,
-you also need to add <code>mpfr/MpfrFloat.cc</code> or
-<code>mpfr/GmpInt.cc</code> files to your project, respectively. Otherwise
-they should not be added to the project.
-
-<p>Note that part of the library source code is inside several
-<code>.inc</code> files inside the <code>extrasrc</code> subdirectory
-(these files contain auto-generated C++ code), provided in the library
-package. These files are used by <code>fparser.cc</code> and don't need
-to be added explicitly to the project in most IDEs (such as Visual Studio).
-Basically, you don't need to do anything with these files, other than keep
-them in the <code>extrasrc</code> subdirectory.
-
-<p>Simple usage example of the library:
-
-<pre>
- FunctionParser fp;
- fp.Parse("sqrt(x*x + y*y)", "x,y");
- double variables[2] = { 1.5, 2.9 };
- double result = fp.Eval(variables);
-</pre>
-
-<!-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-<a name="parsertypes"></a>
-<h3>Parser types</h3>
-
-<p>Different versions of the function parser class are supported, using
- different floating point or integral types for function evaluation.
-
-<p>All the classes other than the default one, <code>FunctionParser</code>,
- need to be enabled at compile time by defining a preprocessor macro
- (specified below) either in the <code>fpconfig.hh</code> file or your
- compiler settings. (The reason for this is that every parser that is
- included in the compilation process will make the compilation slower
- and increase the size of the executable, so they are compiled only on
- demand. Also, the GMP and MPFR versions of the parser require for those
- libraries to be available, which is often not the case.)
-
-<p>Note that if you try to use the other class types without enabling them
- with the correspondent preprocessor macro, you will get a linker error
- (rather than a compiler error) because those classes will not have been
- instantiated when the library was compiled.
-
-<p>Currently the <code>Optimize()</code> method works only for the
- <code>FunctionParser</code>, <code>FunctionParser_f</code> and
- <code>FunctionParser_ld</code> classes. For the other types it can be
- called but it does nothing.
-
-<p>
-<dl>
- <dt><p><code>FunctionParser</code></dt>
- <dd>
- <p>This is the default class, which uses <code>double</code> as its
- numerical type. This is the only class enabled by default.
- <p>If you use some other type than this one, and you don't want this
- version of the class compiled into the library, you can define the
- preprocessor macro <code>FP_DISABLE_DOUBLE_TYPE</code>.
- </dd>
-
- <dt><p><code>FunctionParser_f</code></dt>
- <dd>
- <p>This parser uses <code>float</code> as its numerical type.
- <p>The <code>FP_SUPPORT_FLOAT_TYPE</code> preprocessor macro needs to be
- defined for this class to be enabled.
- </dd>
-
- <dt><p><code>FunctionParser_ld</code></dt>
- <dd>
- <p>This parser uses <code>long&nbsp;double</code> as its numerical type.
- <p>The <code>FP_SUPPORT_LONG_DOUBLE_TYPE</code> preprocessor macro needs
- to be defined for this class to be enabled.
- <p>Note that the <code>FP_USE_STRTOLD</code> preprocessor macro should
- also be defined when using this version of the parser if the compiler
- supports the (C99) function <code>strtold()</code>. (See
- <a href="#configuring">documentation</a> below.)
- </dd>
-
- <dt><p><code>FunctionParser_li</code></dt>
- <dd>
- <p>This parser uses <code>long&nbsp;int</code> as its numerical type.
- <p>The <code>FP_SUPPORT_LONG_INT_TYPE</code> preprocessor macro needs
- to be defined for this class to be enabled.
- <p>Note that this version of the class uses a reduced function syntax
- with support only for functions which are feasible to be used with
- integral types (namely <code>abs()</code>, <code>eval()</code>,
- <code>if()</code>, <code>min()</code> and <code>max()</code>, besides
- basic arithmetic operators, except for the power operator).
- </dd>
-
- <dt><p><code>FunctionParser_cd</code>, <code>FunctionParser_cf</code>,
- <code>FunctionParser_cld</code></dt>
- <dd>
- <p>These parsers use <code>std::complex&lt;double&gt;</code>,
- <code>std::complex&lt;float&gt;</code> and
- <code>std::complex&lt;long&nbsp;double&gt;</code> as their numerical type,
- respectively.
- <p>The preprocessor macros to enable them are
- <code>FP_SUPPORT_COMPLEX_DOUBLE_TYPE</code>,
- <code>FP_SUPPORT_COMPLEX_FLOAT_TYPE</code> and
- <code>FP_SUPPORT_COMPLEX_LONG_DOUBLE_TYPE</code>.
- <p>If <code>FunctionParser_cld</code> is used, the
- <code>FP_USE_STRTOLD</code> macro should also be defined if the compiler
- supports the <code>strtold()</code> function.
- </dd>
-
- <dt><p><code>FunctionParser_mpfr</code></dt>
- <dd>
- <p>This parser uses <code>MpfrFloat</code> as its numerical type.
- <p>The <code>FP_SUPPORT_MPFR_FLOAT_TYPE</code> preprocessor macro needs
- to be defined for this class to be enabled.
- <p>Note that to use this version of the parser,
- <code>"fparser_mpfr.hh"</code> needs to be included.
- <p><code>MpfrFloat</code> is an auxiliary class which uses the MPFR
- library for multiple-precision floating point numbers. The class
- behaves largely like a floating point type, and is declared in the
- <code>mpfr/MpfrFloat.hh</code> file (see that file for info about
- the public interface of the class).
- <p>If this class is enabled, <code>mpfr/MpfrFloat.cc</code>
- needs to be compiled into the project, as well as the GMP and MPFR
- libraries. (With the gcc compiler this means using the linker options
- "<code>-lgmp -lmpfr</code>".)
- </dd>
-
- <dt><p><code>FunctionParser_gmpint</code></dt>
- <dd>
- <p>This parser uses <code>GmpInt</code> as its numerical type.
- <p>The <code>FP_SUPPORT_GMP_INT_TYPE</code> preprocessor macro needs
- to be defined for this class to be enabled.
- <p>Note that to use this version of the parser,
- <code>"fparser_gmpint.hh"</code> needs to be included.
- <p><code>GmpInt</code> is an auxiliary class which uses the GMP
- library for arbitrary-precision integer numbers. The class
- behaves largely like an integer type, and is declared in the
- <code>mpfr/GmpInt.hh</code> file (see that file for info about
- the public interface of the class).
- <p>If this class is enabled, <code>mpfr/GmpInt.cc</code>
- needs to be compiled into the project, as well as the GMP library.
- <p>This version of the class also uses a reduced version of the syntax,
- like the <code>long int</code> version.
- <p><b>Note:</b> Since there's no upper limit to the size of GMP
- integers, this version of the class should be used with care in
- situations where malicious users might be able to exploit it to
- make the program run out of memory. An example of this would be
- a server-side application usable through the WWW.
- </dd>
-</dl>
-
-<p>Note that these different classes are completely independent and
- instances of different classes cannot be given to each other using the
- <code>AddFunction()</code> method. Only objects of the same type can
- be given to that method.
-
-<p>The rest of the documentation assumes that <code>FunctionParser</code>
- (which uses the <code>double</code> type) is used. The usage of the other
- classes is identical except that <code>double</code> is replaced with the
- correspondent type used by that class. (In other words, whenever the
- rest of this documentation uses the type keyword '<code>double</code>',
- the correspondent type should be used instead, when using another version
- of the class.)
-
-<!-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-<a name="configuring"></a>
-<h3>Configuring the compilation</h3>
-
-<p>There is a set of precompiler options in the <code>fpconfig.hh</code> file
-which can be used for setting certain features on or off. All of these options
-can also be specified from the outside, using precompiler settings (eg. the
-<code>-D</code> option in gcc), and thus it's not necessary to modify this
-file.
-
-<dl>
- <dt><p><code>FP_USE_STRTOLD</code> : (Default off)</dt>
- <dd><p>If <code>FunctionParser_ld</code> or <code>FunctionParser_cld</code>
- are used, this preprocessor macro should be defined if the compiler
- supports the (C99) function <code>strtold()</code>. If not, then numeric
- literals will be parsed with double precision only, which in most
- systems is less accurate than long double precision, which will cause
- small rounding errors. (This setting has no effect on the other parser
- types.) Note that <code>strtold()</code> will also be automatically used
- if <code>__cplusplus</code> indicates that C++11 is in use.
- </dd>
-
- <dt><p><code>FP_SUPPORT_CPLUSPLUS11_MATH_FUNCS</code> : (Default off)</dt>
- <dd><p>Use C++11 math functions where applicable. (These are ostensibly
- faster than the equivalent formulas using C++98 math functions.) Note
- that not all compilers support these functions (even if they otherwise
- support C++11.)
-
- <dt><p><code>FP_SUPPORT_OPTIMIZER</code> : (Default on)</dt>
- <dd><p>If you are not going to use the <code>Optimize()</code> method, you
- can comment this line out to speed-up the compilation a bit, as
- well as making the binary a bit smaller. (<code>Optimize()</code> can
- still be called, but it will not do anything.)
-
- <p>You can also disable the optimizer by specifying the
- <code>FP_NO_SUPPORT_OPTIMIZER</code> precompiler constant in your
- compiler settings.
- </dd>
-
- <dt><p><code>FP_USE_THREAD_SAFE_EVAL</code> : (Default off)</dt>
- <dd><p>Define this precompiler constant to make <code>Eval()</code>
- thread-safe. Refer to the <a href="#threadsafety">thread safety
- section</a> later in this document for more information.
- Note that defining this may make <code>Eval()</code> slightly slower.
- <p>Also note that the MPFR and GMP versions of the library cannot be
- made thread-safe, and thus this setting has no effect on them.
- </dd>
-
- <dt><p><code>FP_USE_THREAD_SAFE_EVAL_WITH_ALLOCA</code> : (Default off)</dt>
- <dd><p>This is like the previous, but makes <code>Eval()</code> use the
- <code>alloca()</code> function (instead of <code>std::vector</code>).
- This will make it faster, but the <code>alloca()</code>
- function is not standard and thus not supported by all compilers.
- </dd>
-</dl>
-
-
-<!-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-<a name="copyassignment"></a>
-<h3>Copying and assignment</h3>
-
-<p>The class implements a safe copy constructor and assignment operator.
-
-<p>It uses the copy-on-write technique for efficiency. This means that
- when copying or assigning a FunctionParser instance, the internal data
- (which in some cases can be quite lengthy) is not immediately copied
- but only when the contents of the copy (or the original) are changed.
-
-<p>This means that copying/assigning is a very fast operation, and if
- the copies are never modified then actual data copying never happens
- either.
-
-<p>The <code>Eval()</code> and <code>EvalError()</code> methods of the
-copy can be called without the internal data being copied.
-
-<p>Calling <code>Parse()</code>, <code>Optimize()</code> or the user-defined
-constant/function adding methods will cause a deep-copy.
-

-int Parse(const std::string&amp; Function, const std::string&amp; Vars,
- bool useDegrees = false);
-
-int Parse(const char* Function, const std::string&amp; Vars,
- bool useDegrees = false);
-</pre>
-
-<p>Parses the given function (and compiles it to internal format).
-Destroys previous function. Following calls to <code>Eval()</code> will evaluate
-the given function.
-
-<p>The strings given as parameters are not needed anymore after parsing.
-
-<p>Parameters:
-
-<table border=2>
- <tr>
- <td><code>Function</code></td>
- <td>String containing the function to parse.</td>
- </tr><tr>
- <td><code>Vars</code></td>
- <td>String containing the variable names, separated by commas.<br>
- Eg. <code>"x,y"</code>, <code>"VarX,VarY,VarZ,n"</code> or
- <code>"x1,x2,x3,x4,__VAR__"</code>.
- </tr><tr>
- <td><code>useDegrees</code></td>
- <td>(Optional.) Whether to use degrees or radians in
- trigonometric functions. (Default: radians)</td>
- </tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>If a <code>char*</code> is given as the <code>Function</code> parameter,
-it must be a null-terminated string.
-
-<p>Variables can have any size and they are case sensitive (ie.
-<code>"var"</code>, <code>"VAR"</code> and <code>"Var"</code> are
-<em>different</em> variable names). Letters, digits, underscores and
-UTF8-encoded characters can be used in variable names, but the name of
-a variable can't begin with a digit. Each variable name can appear only
-once in the '<code>Vars</code>' string. Function names are not legal
-variable names.
-
-<p>Using longer variable names causes no overhead whatsoever to the
-<code>Eval()</code> method, so it's completely safe to use variable names
-of any size.
-
-<p>The third, optional parameter specifies whether angles should be
- interpreted as radians or degrees in trigonometrical functions.
- If not specified, the default value is radians.
-
-<p>Return values:
-
-<ul>
- <li>On success the function returns <code>-1</code>.
- <li>On error the function returns an index to where the error was found
- (<code>0</code> is the first character, <code>1</code> the second, etc).
- If the error was not a parsing error returns an index to the end of the
- string.
-</ul>
-
-<p>Example: <code>parser.Parse("3*x+y", "x,y");</code>
-
-
-<hr>
-<a name="longdesc_setDelimiterChar"></a>
-<pre>
-void setDelimiterChar(char);
-</pre>
-
-<p>By default the parser expects the entire function string to be valid
-(ie. the entire contents of the given <code>std::string</code>, or a C string
-ending in the null character <code>'\0'</code>).
-
-<p>If a delimiter character is specified with this function, then if it's
-encountered at the outermost parsing level by the <code>Parse()</code>
-function, and the input function has been valid so far, <code>Parse()</code>
-will return an index to this character inside the input string, but rather
-than set an error code, <code>FP_NO_ERROR</code> will be set.
-
-<p>The idea is that this can be used to more easily parse functions which
-are embedded inside larger strings, containing surrounding data, without
-having to explicitly extract the function to a separate string.
-
-<p>For example, suppose you are writing an interpreter for a scripting
- language, which can have commands like this:
-
-<p><code>let MyFunction(x,y) = { sin(x*x+y*y) } // A 2-dimensional function</code>
-
-<p>Normally when parsing such a line you would have to extract the part
-inside the curly brackets into a separate string and parse it that way.
-With this feature what you can do instead is to set <code>'}'</code> as
-the delimiter character and then simply give a pointer to the character
-which comes after the <code>'{'</code>. If all goes well, the
-<code>Parse()</code> function will return an index to the <code>'}'</code>
-character (from the given starting point) and <code>GetParseErrorType()</code>
-will return <code>FP_NO_ERROR</code>. You can use the return
-value (if it's not <code>-1</code>) to jump forward in the string to the
-delimiter character.
-
-<p>Note that a null character (<code>'\0'</code>) or the end of the
-<code>std::string</code> (if one was given) will still be a valid end of
-the function string even if a delimiter character was specified. (In this
-case <code>Parse()</code> will return <code>-1</code> if there was no error,
-as usual.)
-
-<p>Also note that the delimiter character cannot be any valid operator
-or alphanumeric (including the underscore) character, nor the other
-characters defined in the function syntax. It must be a character not
-supported by the function parser (such as <code>'}'</code>,
-<code>'&quot;'</code>, <code>']'</code>, etc).

-<a name="longdesc_Eval"></a>
-<pre>
-double Eval(const double* Vars);
-</pre>
-
-<p>Evaluates the function given to <code>Parse()</code>.
-The array given as parameter must contain the same amount of values as

-to each variable, in the same order.
-

- <code>Parse()</code>.
- <li>On error (such as division by 0) the return value is unspecified,

-<a name="longdesc_Optimize"></a>
-<pre>
-void Optimize();
-</pre>
-
-<p>This method can be called after calling the <code>Parse()</code> method.
-It will try to simplify the internal bytecode so that it will evaluate faster
-(it tries to reduce the amount of opcodes in the bytecode).
-
-<p>For example, the bytecode for the function <code>"5+x*y-25*4/8"</code> will
-be reduced to a bytecode equivalent to the function <code>"x*y-7.5"</code> (the
-original 11 opcodes will be reduced to 5). Besides calculating constant
-expressions (like in the example), it also performs other types of
-simplifications with variable and function expressions.
-
-<p>This method is quite slow and the decision of whether to use it or
-not should depend on the type of application. If a function is parsed
-once and evaluated millions of times, then calling <code>Optimize()</code>
-may speed-up noticeably. However, if there are tons of functions to parse
-and each one is evaluated once or just a few times, then calling
-<code>Optimize()</code> will only slow down the program.
-
-<p>Also, if the original function is expected to be optimal, then calling
-<code>Optimize()</code> would be useless.
-
-<p>Note: Currently this method does not make any checks (like
-<code>Eval()</code> does) and thus things like <code>"1/0"</code> will cause
-undefined behaviour. (On the other hand, if such expression is given to the
-parser, <code>Eval()</code> will always give an error code, no matter what
-the parameters.) If caching this type of errors is important, a work-around
-is to call <code>Eval()</code> once before calling <code>Optimize()</code>
-and checking <code>EvalError()</code>.
-
-<p>If the destination application is not going to use this method,
-the compiler constant <code>FP_SUPPORT_OPTIMIZER</code> can be undefined in
-<code>fpconfig.hh</code> to make the library smaller (<code>Optimize()</code>
-can still be called, but it will not do anything).
-
-<p>(If you are interested in seeing how this method optimizes the opcode,
-you can call the <code>PrintByteCode()</code> method before and after the
-call to <code>Optimize()</code> to see the difference.)
-

-<hr>
-<a name="longdesc_AddConstant"></a>
-<pre>
-bool AddConstant(const std::string&amp; name, double value);
-</pre>
-
-<p>This method can be used to add constants to the parser. Syntactically
- constants are identical to variables (ie. they follow the same naming
- rules and they can be used in the function string in the same way as
- variables), but internally constants are directly replaced with their
- value at parse time.
-
-<p>Constants used by a function must be added before calling
-<code>Parse()</code> for that function. Constants are preserved between
-<code>Parse()</code> calls in the current FunctionParser instance, so
-they don't need to be added but once. (If you use the same constant in
-several instances of FunctionParser, you will need to add it to all the
-instances separately.)
-
-<p>Constants can be added at any time and the value of old constants can
-be changed, but new additions and changes will only have effect the next
-time <code>Parse()</code> is called. (That is, changing the value of a constant
-after calling <code>Parse()</code> and before calling <code>Eval()</code>
-will have no effect.)
-
-<p>The return value will be <code>false</code> if the '<code>name</code>' of
-the constant was illegal, else <code>true</code>. If the name was illegal,
-the method does nothing.
-
-<p>Example: <code>parser.AddConstant("pi", 3.1415926535897932);</code>
-
-<p>Now for example <code>parser.Parse("x*pi", "x");</code> will be identical
-to the call <code>parser.Parse("x*3.1415926535897932", "x");</code>
-
-
-<hr>
-<a name="longdesc_AddUnit"></a>
-<pre>
-bool AddUnit(const std::string&amp; name, double value);
-</pre>
-
-<p>In some applications it is desirable to have units of measurement.
-A typical example is an application which creates a page layout to be
-printed. When printing, distances are usually measured in points
-(defined by the resolution of the printer). However, it is often more
-useful for the user to be able to specify measurements in other units
-such as centimeters or inches.
-
-<p>A unit is simply a value by which the preceding element is multiplied.
-For example, if the printing has been set up to 300 DPI, one inch is
-then 300 points (dots). Thus saying eg. <code>"5in"</code> is the same as saying
-<code>"5*300"</code> or <code>"1500"</code> (assuming <code>"in"</code> has
-been added as a unit with the value 300).
-
-<p>Note that units are slightly different from a multiplication in
-that they have a higher precedence than any other operator (except
-parentheses). Thus for example <code>"5/2in"</code> is parsed as
-<code>"5/(2*300)"</code>.
-(If 5/2 inches is what one wants, it has to be written <code>"(5/2)in"</code>.)
-
-<p>You can use the <code>AddUnit()</code> method to add a new unit. The
-unit can then be used after any element in the function (and will work as
-a multiplier for that element). An element is a float literal, a constant,
-a variable, a function or any expression in parentheses. When the element
-is not a float literal nor an expression in parentheses, there has to naturally
-be at least one whitespace between the element and the unit (eg.
-<code>"x in"</code>). To change the value of a unit, call
-<code>AddUnit()</code> again with the same unit name and the new value.
-
-<p>Unit names share the same namespace as constants, functions and
- variables, and thus should be distinct from those.
-
-<p>Example: <code>parser.AddUnit("in", 300);</code>
-
-<p>Now for example the function <code>"5in"</code> will be identical to
-<code>"(5*300)"</code>. Other usage examples include <code>"x in"</code>,
-<code>"3in+2"</code>, <code>"pow(x,2)in"</code>, <code>"(x+2)in"</code>.

-<a name="longdesc_AddFunction1"></a>
-<pre>
-bool AddFunction(const std::string&amp; name,
- double (*functionPtr)(const double*),
- unsigned paramsAmount);
-</pre>
-
-This method can be used to add new functions to the parser. For example,
-if you would like to add a function "<code>sqr(A)</code>" which squares the
-value of <code>A</code>, you can do it with this method (so that you don't
-need to touch the source code of the parser).
-
-<p>The method takes three parameters:
-
-<ul>
- <li>The name of the function. The name follows the same naming conventions
- as variable names.
-
- <li>A C++ function, which will be called when evaluating the function
- string (if the user-given function is called there). The C++ function
- must have the form:
- <p><code>double functionName(const double* params);</code>
-
- <li>The number of parameters the function takes. 0 is a valid value
- in which case the function takes no parameters (such function
- should simply ignore the <code>double*</code> it gets as a parameter).
-</ul>
-
-<p>The return value will be <code>false</code> if the given name was invalid
-(either it did not follow the variable naming conventions, or the name was
-already reserved), else <code>true</code>. If the return value is
-<code>false</code>, nothing is added.
-
-<p>Example: Suppose we have a C++ function like this:
-
-<p><code>double Square(const double* p)</code><br>
-<code>{</code><br>
-<code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;return p[0]*p[0];</code><br>
-<code>}</code>
-
-<p>Now we can add this function to the parser like this:
-
-<p><code>parser.AddFunction("sqr", Square, 1);</code><br>
-<code>parser.Parse("2*sqr(x)", "x");</code>
-
-<p>An example of a useful function taking no parameters is a function
- returning a random value. For example:
-
-<p><code>double Rand(const double*)</code><br>
-<code>{</code><br>
-<code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;return drand48();</code><br
-<code>}</code>
-
-<p><code>parser.AddFunction("rand", Rand, 0);</code>
-
-<p><em>Important note</em>: If you use the <code>Optimize()</code> method,
-it will assume that the user-given function has no side-effects, that is,
-it always returns the same value for the same parameters. The optimizer will
-optimize the function call away in some cases, making this assumption.
-(The <code>Rand()</code> function given as example above is one such
-problematic case.)
-

-<hr>
-<a name="longdesc_AddFunction2"></a>
-<pre>
-bool AddFunction(const std::string&amp; name, FunctionParser&amp;);
-</pre>
-
-<p>This method is almost identical to the previous <code>AddFunction()</code>,
-but instead of taking a C++ function, it takes another FunctionParser
-instance.
-
-<p>There are some important restrictions on making a FunctionParser instance
- call another:
-
-<ul>
- <li>The FunctionParser instance given as parameter must be initialized
- with a <code>Parse()</code> call before giving it as parameter. That
- is, if you want to use the parser <code>A</code> in the parser
- <code>B</code>, you must call <code>A.Parse()</code> before you can
- call <code>B.AddFunction("name", A)</code>.
-
- <li>The amount of variables in the FunctionParser instance given as
- parameter must not change after it has been given to the
- <code>AddFunction()</code>
- of another instance. Changing the number of variables will result in
- malfunction.
-
- <li><code>AddFunction()</code> will fail (ie. return <code>false</code>)
- if a recursive loop is
- formed. The method specifically checks that no such loop is built.
-
- <li>The FunctionParser instance given as parameter will <em>not</em> be
- copied internally, only referenced. Thus the FunctionParser instance
- given as parameter must exist for as long as the other FunctionParser
- instance uses it.
-</ul>
-
-<p>Example:
-
-<p><code>FunctionParser f1, f2;</code><br>
-<p><code>f1.Parse("x*x", "x");</code><br>
-<p><code>f2.AddFunction("sqr", f1);</code>
-
-<p>This version of the <code>AddFunction()</code> method can be useful to
-eg. chain user-given functions. For example, ask the user for a function F1,
- and then ask the user another function F2, but now the user can
- call F1 in this second function if he wants (and so on with a third
- function F3, where he can call F1 and F2, etc).

- function. The variable names will be sorted using the <code>&lt;</code>
- operator of <code>std::string</code>.
- <li><code>resultVars</code>: The found variables will be written to this
- vector, each element being one variable name. They will be sorted using

-<!-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-<a name="functionobjects"></a>
-<h3>Specialized function objects</h3>
-
-<p>The <code>AddFunction()</code> method can be used to add a new user-defined
-function to the parser, its implementation being called through a C++ function
-pointer. Sometimes this might not be enough, though. For example, one might
-want to use <code>boost::function</code> or other similar specialized stateful
-function objects instead of raw function pointers. This library provides a
-mechanism to achieve this.
-
-<h4>Creating and adding a specialized function object</h4>
-
-<p>In order to create a specialized function object, create a class derived
-from the <code>FunctionParser::FunctionWrapper</code> class. This class
-declares a virtual function named <code>callFunction</code> that the derived
-class must implement. For example:
-
-<pre>
-class MyFunctionWrapper:
- public FunctionParser::FunctionWrapper
-{
- public:
- virtual double callFunction(const double* values)
- {
- // Perform the actual function call here, like:
- return someFunctionSomewhere(values);
-
- // In principle the result could also be
- // calculated here, like for example:
- return values[0] * values[0];
- }
-};
-</pre>
-
-<p>You can then add an instance of this class to <code>FunctionParser</code>
-using the <code>AddFunctionWrapper()</code> method, which works like
-<code>AddFunction()</code>, but takes a wrapper object instead of a function
-pointer as parameter. For example:
-
-<pre>
-MyFunctionWrapper wrapper;
-parser.AddFunctionWrapper("funcName", wrapper, 1);
-</pre>
-
-<p>Note that <code>FunctionParser</code> will internally create a copy of
-the wrapper object, managing the lifetime of this copy, and thus the object
-given as parameter does not need to exist for as long as the
-<code>FunctionParser</code> instance. Hence the above could also be written as:
-
-<pre>
-parser.AddFunctionWrapper("funcName", MyFunctionWrapper(), 1);
-</pre>
-
-<p>Note that this also means that the wrapper class must have a working
-copy constructor.
-
-<p>Also note that if the <code>FunctionParser</code> instance is copied, all
-the copies will share the same function wrapper objects given to the original.
-
-<h4>Retrieving specialized function objects</h4>
-
-<p>As noted, the library will internally make a copy of the wrapper object,
-and thus it will be separate from the one which was given as parameter to
-<code>AddFunctionWrapper()</code>. In some cases it may be necessary to
-retrieve this wrapper object (for example to read or change its state).
-This can be done with the <code>GetFunctionWrapper()</code> method, which
-takes the name of the function and returns a pointer to the wrapper object,
-or null if no such object exists with that name.
-
-<p>Note that the returned pointer will be of type
-<code>FunctionParser::FunctionWrapper</code>. In order to get a pointer to
-the actual derived type, the calling code should perform a
-<code>dynamic_cast</code>, for example like this:
-
-<pre>
-MyFunctionWrapper* wrapper =
- dynamic_cast&lt;MyFunctionWrapper*&gt;
- (parser.GetFunctionWrapper("funcName"));
-
-if(!wrapper) { /* oops, the retrieval failed */ }
-else ...
-</pre>
-
-<p>(Using dynamic cast rather than a static cast adds safety because if you
-accidentally try to downcast to the wrong type, the pointer will become null.)
-
-<p>The calling code is free to modify the object in any way it wants, but it
-must not delete it (because <code>FunctionParser</code> itself handles this).
-
-
-<!-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-<a name="base"></a>
-<h3>FunctionParserBase</h3>
-
-<p>All the different parser types are derived from a templated base class
-named <code>FunctionParserBase</code>. In normal use it's not necessary to
-directly refer to this base class in the calling code. However, if the calling
-code also needs to be templated (with respect to the numerical type), then
-using <code>FunctionParserBase</code> directly is the easiest way to achieve
-this.
-
-<p>For example, if you want to make a function that handles more than one
-type of parser, it can be done like this:
-
-<pre>
-template&lt;typename Value_t&gt;
-void someFunction(FunctionParserBase&lt;Value_t&gt& parser)
-{
- // do something with 'parser' here
-}
-</pre>
-
-<p>Now it's convenient to call that function with more than one type of
-parser, for example:
-
-<pre>
-FunctionParser realParser;
-FunctionParser_cd complexParser;
-
-someFunction(realParser);
-someFunction(complexParser);
-</pre>
-
-<p>Another example is a class that inherits from <code>FunctionParser</code>
-which also wants to support different numerical types. Such class can be
-declared as:
-
-<pre>
-template&lt;typename Value_t&gt;
-class SpecializedParser: public FunctionParserBase&lt;Value_t&gt;
-{
- ...
-};
-</pre>
-
-
-<!-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-<h2>Syntax</h2>
-
-<a name="literals"></a>
-<h3>Numeric literals</h3>
-
-<p>A numeric literal is a fixed numerical value in the input function string
- (either a floating point value or an integer value, depending on the parser
- type).
-
-<p>An integer literal can consist solely of numerical digits (possibly with
- a preceding unary minus). For example, "<code>12345</code>".
-
-<p>If the literal is preceded by the characters "<code>0x</code>", it
- will be interpreted as a hexadecimal literal, where digits can also include
- the letters from '<code>A</code>' to '<code>F</code>' (in either uppercase
- or lowercase). For example, "<code>0x89ABC</code>" (which corresponds to the
- value 563900).
-
-<p>A floating point literal (only supported by the floating point type parsers)
- may additionally include a decimal point followed by the decimal part of the
- value, such as for example "<code>12.34</code>", optionally followed by a
- decimal exponent.
-
-<p>A decimal exponent consists of an '<code>E</code>' or '<code>e</code>',
- followed by an optional plus or minus sign, followed by decimal digits, and
- indicates multiplication by a power of 10. For example, "<code>1.2e5</code>"
- (which is equivalent to the value 120000).
-
-<p>If a floating point literal is preceded by the characters "<code>0x</code>"
- it will be interpreted in hexadecimal. A hexadecimal floating point
- literal consists of a hexadecimal value, with an optional decimal point,
- followed optionally by a binary exponent in base 10 (in other words, the
- exponent is not in hexadecimal).
-
-<p>A binary exponent has the same format as a decimal exponent, except that
- '<code>P</code>' or '<code>p</code>' is used. A binary exponent indicates
- multiplication by a power of 2. For example, "<code>0xA.Bp10</code>"
- (which is equivalent to the value 10944).
-
-<p>With the complex versions of the library, the imaginary part of a numeric
- literal is written as a regular numeric literal with an '<code>i</code>'
- appended, for example "<code>5i</code>". Note that when also specifying
- the real part of a complex literal, parentheses should be used to avoid
- precedence problems. (For example, "<code>(2+5i)&nbsp;*&nbsp;x</code>"
- is not the same thing as "<code>2+5i&nbsp;*&nbsp;x</code>". The latter
- would be equivalent to "<code>2 + (5i&nbsp;*&nbsp;x)</code>".)

-<h3>Identifier names</h3>
-
-<p>An identifier is the name of a function (internal or user-defined),
- variable, constant or unit. New identifiers can be specified with the
- functions described in the earlier subsections in this document.
-
-<p>The name of an identifier can use any alphanumeric characters, the
- underscore character and any UTF8-encoded unicode character, excluding
- those denoting whitespace.
- The first character of the name cannot be a numeric digit, though.
-
-<p>All functions, variables, constants and units must use unique names.
- It's not possible to add two different identifiers with the same name.

-<h3>The function string syntax</h3>
-
-<p>The function string understood by the class is very similar (but not
-completely identical in all aspects) to mathematical expressions in the
-C/C++ languages.
-Arithmetic float expressions can be created from float literals, variables
-or functions using the following operators in this order of precedence:
-
-<p><table border=2>
- <tr>
- <td><code>()</code></td>
- <td>expressions in parentheses first</td>
- </tr><tr>
- <td><code>A unit</code></td>
- <td>a unit multiplier (if one has been added)</td>
- </tr><tr>
- <td><code>A^B</code></td>
- <td>exponentiation (A raised to the power B)</td>
- </tr><tr>
- <td><code>-A</code></td>
- <td>unary minus</td>
- </tr><tr>
- <td><code>!A</code></td>
- <td>unary logical not (result is 1 if <code>int(A)</code> is 0, else 0)</td>
- </tr><tr>
- <td><code>A*B A/B A%B</code></td>
- <td>multiplication, division and modulo</td>
- </tr><tr>
- <td><code>A+B A-B</code></td>
- <td>addition and subtraction</td>
- </tr><tr>
- <td><code>A=B A&lt;B A&lt;=B<br>A!=B A&gt;B A&gt;=B</code></td>
- <td>comparison between A and B (result is either 0 or 1)</td>
- </tr><tr>
- <td><code>A&amp;B</code></td>
- <td>result is 1 if <code>int(A)</code> and <code>int(B)</code> differ from
- 0, else 0.<br>
- Note: Regardless of the values, both operands are always
- evaluated. However, if the expression is optimized, it may
- be changed such that only one of the operands is evaluated,
- according to standard shortcut logical operation semantics.</td>
- </tr><tr>
- <td><code>A|B</code></td>
- <td>result is 1 if <code>int(A)</code> or <code>int(B)</code> differ from 0,
- else 0.<br>
- Note: Regardless of the values, both operands are always
- evaluated. However, if the expression is optimized, it may
- be changed such that only one of the operands is evaluated,
- according to standard shortcut logical operation semantics.</td>
- </tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>(Note that currently the exponentiation operator is not supported for
- <code>FunctionParser_li</code> nor <code>FunctionParser_gmpint</code>.
- With the former the result would very easily overflow, making its
- usefulness questionable. With the latter it could be easily abused to
- make the program run out of memory; think of a function like
- "10^10^10^100000".)
-
-<p>Since the unary minus has higher precedence than any other operator, for
- example the following expression is valid: <code>x*-y</code>
-
-<p>The comparison operators use an epsilon value, so expressions which may
-differ in very least-significant digits should work correctly. For example,
-<code>"0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1 = 1"</code> should always
-return 1, and the same comparison done with "<code>&gt;</code>" or
-"<code>&lt;</code>" should always return 0. (The epsilon value can be
-configured in the <code>fpconfig.hh</code> file.)
-Without epsilon this comparison probably returns the wrong value.
-
-<p>The class supports these functions:

-
-<p>(Note that for <code>FunctionParser_li</code> and
- <code>FunctionParser_gmpint</code> only the functions
- <code>abs()</code>, <code>eval()</code>, <code>if()</code>,
- <code>min()</code> and <code>max()</code> are supported.)
-
-<p>Examples of function string understood by the class:
-
-<p><code>"1+2"</code><br>
-<code>"x-1"</code><br>
-<code>"-sin(sqrt(x^2+y^2))"</code><br>
-<code>"sqrt(XCoord*XCoord + YCoord*YCoord)"</code><br>
-
-<p>An example of a recursive function is the factorial function:
-
-<code>"if(n>1, n*eval(n-1), 1)"</code>
-
-<p>Note that a recursive call has some overhead, which makes it a bit slower
- than any other operation. It may be a good idea to avoid recursive functions
- in very time-critical applications. Recursion also takes some memory, so
- extremely deep recursions should be avoided (eg. millions of nested recursive
- calls).
-
-<p>Also note that even though the maximum recursion level of
-<code>eval()</code> is limited, it is possible to write functions which
-never reach that level but still take enormous amounts of time to evaluate.
-This can sometimes be undesirable because it is prone to exploitation,
-which is why <code>eval()</code> is disabled by default. It can be enabled
-in the <code>fpconfig.hh</code> file.

-
-<!-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-<a name="inlinevars"></a>
-<h3>Inline variables</h3>
-
-<p>The function syntax supports defining new variables inside the function
-string itself. This can be done with the following syntax:
-
-<p><code>"&lt;variable name&gt; := &lt;expression&gt;; &lt;function&gt;"</code>
-
-<p>For example:
-
-<p><code>"length := sqrt(x*x+y*y); 2*length*sin(length)"</code>
-
-<p>(Spaces around the '<code>:=</code>' operator are optional.)
-
-<p>The obvious benefit of this is that if a long expression needs to be
-used in the function several times, this allows writing it only once and
-using a named variable from that point forward.
-
-<p>The variable name must be an unused identifier (in other words, not an
-existing function, variable or unit name).
-
-<p>The <code>&lt;function&gt;</code> part can have further inline variable
-definitions, and thus it's possible to have any amount of them, for example:
-
-<p><code>"A := x^2; B := y^2; C := z^2; sqrt(A+B+C)"</code>
-
-<p>The expressions in subsequent inline variable definitions can use any
-of the previous inline variables. It is also possible to redefine an inline
-variable. For example:
-
-<p><code>"A := x^2; A := 2*A; sqrt(A)"</code>
-
-
-<!-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-<a name="whitespace"></a>
-<h3>Whitespace</h3>
-
-<p>Arbitrary amounts of whitespace can optionally be included between
- elements in the function string.

-<h2>Miscellaneous</h2>
-
-<a name="fpaccuracy"></a>
-<h3>About floating point accuracy</h3>
-
-<p>Note that if you are using <code>FunctionParser_ld</code> or
-<code>FunctionParser_cld</code> and you want calculations to be as accurate
-as the <code>long double</code> type allows, you should pay special attention
-to floating point literals in your own code. For example, this is a very
-typical mistake:
-
-<pre>FunctionParser_ld parser;
-parser.AddConstant("pi", 3.14159265358979323846);</pre>
-
-<p>The mistake might not be immediately apparent. The mistake is that a
-literal of type <code>double</code> is passed to the <code>AddConstant()</code>
-function even though it expects a value of type <code>long&nbsp;double</code>.
-In most systems the latter has more bits of precision than the former, which
-means that the value will have its least-significant bits clipped,
-introducing a rounding error. The proper way of making the above calls is:
-
-<pre>FunctionParser_ld parser;
-parser.AddConstant("pi", 3.14159265358979323846L);</pre>
-
-<p>The same principle should be used everywhere in your own code, if you are
-using the <code>long&nbsp;double</code> type.
-
-<p>This is especially important if you are using the <code>MpfrFloat</code>
-type (in which case its string-parsing constructor or its
-<code>ParseValue()</code> or <code>parseString()</code> member functions
-should be used instead of using numerical literals).
-
-<a name="evaluationchecks"></a>
-<h3>About evaluation-time checks</h3>
-
-<p><code>FunctionParser::Eval()</code> will perform certain sanity
-checks before performing certain operations. For example, before calling the
-<code>sqrt</code> function, it will check if the parameter is negative, and
-if so, it will set the proper error code instead of calling the function.
-These checks include:
-
-<ul>
- <li>Division by (the exact value of) zero.
- <li>Square root of a negative value.
- <li>Logarithm of a non-positive value.
- <li>Arcsine or arccosine of a value not in the range [-1, 1]. (This includes
- hyperbolic versions of the functions.)
-</ul>
-
-<p>However, the library <em>can not</em> guarantee that it will catch all
-possible floating point errors before performing them, because this is
-impossible to do with standard C++. For example, dividing a very large
-value by a value which is very close to zero, or calculating the logarithm
-of a very small value may overflow the result, as well as multiplying two
-very large values. Raising a negative number to a non-integral power may
-cause a <em>NaN</em> result, etc.
-
-<p>As a rule of thumb, the library will (by default) detect invalid operations
-if they are invalid for a range of values. For example, square root is undefined
-for all negative values, and arc sine is undefined only values outside the range
-[-1, 1]. In general, operations which are invalid for only one single value
-(rather than a contiguous range of values) will not be detected (division by
-the exact value of zero is an exception to this rule) nor will
-overflow/underflow situations.
-
-<p>The library cannot guarantee that floating point
-errors will never happen during evaluation. This can make the library to
-return the floating point values <em>inf</em> and <em>NaN</em>. Moreover,
-if floating point errors cause an interrupt in the target computer
-architecture and/or when using certain compiler settings, this library
-cannot guarantee that it will never happen.
-
-<p>Note that the optimizer never performs any sanity checks.
-
-
-<!-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-<a name="threadsafety"></a>
-<h3>About thread safety</h3>
-
-<p>None of the member functions of the FunctionParser class are thread-safe.
-Most prominently, the <code>Eval()</code> function is not thread-safe.
-(In other words, the <code>Eval()</code> function of a single FunctionParser
-instance cannot be safely called simultaneously by two threads.)
-
-<p>There are ways to use this library in a thread-safe way, though. If each
-thread uses its own FunctionParser instance, no problems will obviously
-happen. Note, however, that if these instances need to be a copy of a given
-FunctionParser instance (eg. one where the user has entered a function),
-a deep copy of this instance has to be performed for each thread. By
-default FunctionParser uses shallow-copying (copy-on-write), which means
-that a simple assignment of copy construction will not copy the data itself.
-To force a deep copy you can all the <code>ForceDeepCopy()</code> function on
-each of the instances of each thread after the assignment or copying has been
-done.
-
-<p>Another possibility is to compile the FunctionParser library so that
-its <code>Eval()</code> function will be thread-safe. (This can be done by
-defining the <code>FP_USE_THREAD_SAFE_EVAL</code> or the
-<code>FP_USE_THREAD_SAFE_EVAL_WITH_ALLOCA</code>
-precompiler constant.) As long as only one thread calls the other functions
-of FunctionParser, the other threads can safely call the <code>Eval()</code>
-of this one instance.
-
-<p>Note, however, that compiling the library like this can make
-<code>Eval()</code> slightly slower. (The <code>alloca</code> version, if
-supported by the compiler, will not be as slow.)
-
-<p>Also note that the MPFR and GMP versions of the library cannot be
- made thread-safe, and thus this setting has no effect on them.
-
-
-<!-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-<a name="tipsandtricks"></a>
-<h3>Tips and tricks</h3>
-
-<h4>Add constants automatically to all parser objects</h4>
-
-<p>Often the same constants (such as <em>pi</em> and <em>e</em>) and other
-user-defined identifiers (such as units) are always used in all the
-<code>FunctionParser</code> objects throughout the program. It would be
-troublesome to always have to manually add these constants every time a
-new parser object is created.
-
-<p>There is, however, a simple way to always add these user-defined identifiers
-to all instances. Write a class like this:
-
-<pre>
- class ParserWithConsts: public FunctionParser
- {
- public:
- ParserWithConsts()
- {
- AddConstant("pi", 3.14159265358979323846);
- AddConstant("e", 2.71828182845904523536);
- }
- };
-</pre>
-
-<p>Now instead of using <code>FunctionParser</code>, always use
-<code>ParserWithConsts</code>. It will behave identically except that the
-constants (and possibly other user-defined identifiers) will always be
-automatically defined. (Objects of this type even survive
-<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_slicing">slicing</a>, so
-they are completely safe to use anywhere.)

-<a name="algorithm"></a>
-<h2>The algorithm used in the library</h2>
-
-<p>The whole idea behind the algorithm is to convert the regular infix
-format (the regular syntax for mathematical operations in most languages,
-like C and the input of the library) to postfix format. The postfix format
-is also called stack arithmetic since an expression in postfix format
-can be evaluated using a stack and operating with the top of the stack.
-
-<p>For example:
-
-<p><table border=2>
-<tr><th>infix</th> <th>postfix</th></tr>
-<tr><td><code>2+3</code></td><td><code>2 3 +</code></td></tr>
-<tr><td><code>1+2+3</code></td><td><code>1 2 + 3 +</code></td></tr>
-<tr><td><code>5*2+8/2</code></td><td><code>5 2 * 8 2 / +</code></td></tr>
-<tr><td><code>(5+9)*3</code></td><td><code>5 9 + 3 *</code></td></tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>The postfix notation should be read in this way:
-
-<p>Let's take for example the expression: <code>5 2 * 8 2 / +</code>
-<ul>
- <li>Put 5 on the stack
- <li>Put 2 on the stack
- <li>Multiply the two values on the top of the stack and put the result on
- the stack (removing the two old values)
- <li>Put 8 on the stack
- <li>Put 2 on the stack
- <li>Divide the two values on the top of the stack
- <li>Add the two values on the top of the stack (which are in this case
- the result of 5*2 and 8/2, that is, 10 and 4).
-</ul>
-
-<p>At the end there's only one value in the stack, and that value is the
-result of the expression.
-
-<p>Why stack arithmetic?
-
-<p>The last example above can give you a hint.
- In infix format operators have precedence and we have to use parentheses to
-group operations with lower precedence to be calculated before operations
-with higher precedence.
- This causes a problem when evaluating an infix expression, specially
-when converting it to byte code. For example in this kind of expression:
- <code>(x+1)/(y+2)</code>
-we have to calculate first the two additions before we can calculate the
-division. We have to also keep counting parentheses, since there can be
-a countless amount of nested parentheses. This usually means that you
-have to do some type of recursion.
-
-<p>The simplest and mostefficient way of calculating this is to convert it
-to postfix notation.
- The postfix notation has the advantage that you can make all operations
-in a straightforward way. You just evaluate the expression from left to
-right, applying each operation directly and that's it. There are no
-parentheses to worry about. You don't need recursion anywhere.
- You have to keep a stack, of course, but that's extremely easily done.
-Also you just operate with the top of the stack, which makes it very easy.
-You never have to go deeper than 2 items in the stack.
- And even better: Evaluating an expression in postfix format is never
-slower than in infix format. All the contrary, in many cases it's a lot
-faster (eg. because all parentheses are optimized away).
- The above example could be expressed in postfix format:
- <code>x 1 + y 2 + /</code>
-
-<p>The good thing about the postfix notation is also the fact that it can
-be extremely easily expressed in bytecode form.
- You only need a byte value for each operation, for each variable and
-to push a constant to the stack.
- Then you can interpret this bytecode straightforwardly. You just interpret
-it byte by byte, from the beginning to the end. You never have to go back,
-make loops or anything.
-
-<p>This is what makes byte-coded stack arithmetic so fast.

- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
- Preamble
-
- The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
-software and other kinds of works.
-
- The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
-to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
-the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
-share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
-software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
-GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
-any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
- When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
-want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
-free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
-
- To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
-these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
-certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
-you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
-
- For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
-freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
-or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
-know their rights.
-
- Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
-(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
-giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
-
- For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
-that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
-authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
-changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
-authors of previous versions.
-
- Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
-modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
-can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
-protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
-pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
-use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
-have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
-products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
-stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
-of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
-
- Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
-States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
-software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
-avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
-make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
-patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
-
- The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
- TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
- 0. Definitions.
-
- "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
-
- "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
-works, such as semiconductor masks.
-
- "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
-License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
-"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
-
- To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
-in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
-exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
-earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
-
- A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
-on the Program.
-
- To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
-permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
-infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
-computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
-distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
-public, and in some countries other activities as well.
-
- To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
-parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
-a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
-
- An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
-to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
-feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
-tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
-extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
-work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
-the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
-menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
-
- 1. Source Code.
-
- The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
-for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
-form of a work.
-
- A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
-standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
-interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
-is widely used among developers working in that language.
-
- The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
-than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
-packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
-Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
-Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
-implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
-"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
-(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
-(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
-produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
-
- The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
-the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
-work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
-control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
-System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
-programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
-which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
-includes interface definition files associated with source files for
-the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
-linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
-such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
-subprograms and other parts of the work.
-
- The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
-can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
-Source.
-
- The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
-same work.
-
- 2. Basic Permissions.
-
- All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
-copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
-conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
-permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
-covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
-content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
-rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
-
- You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
-convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
-in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
-of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
-with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
-the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
-not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
-for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
-and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
-your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
-
- Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
-the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
-makes it unnecessary.
-
- 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
-
- No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
-measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
-11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
-similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
-measures.
-
- When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
-circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
-is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
-the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
-modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
-users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
-technological measures.
-
- 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
-
- You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
-receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
-appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
-keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
-non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
-keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
-recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
-
- You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
-and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
-
- 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
-
- You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
-produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
-terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
- a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
- it, and giving a relevant date.
-
- b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
- released under this License and any conditions added under section
- 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
- "keep intact all notices".
-
- c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
- License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
- License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
- additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
- regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
- permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
- invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
-
- d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
- Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
- interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
- work need not make them do so.
-
- A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
-works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
-and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
-in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
-"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
-used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
-beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
-in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
-parts of the aggregate.
-
- 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
-
- You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
-of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
-machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
-in one of these ways:
-
- a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
- (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
- Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
- customarily used for software interchange.
-
- b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
- (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
- written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
- long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
- model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
- copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
- product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
- medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
- more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
- conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
- Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
-
- c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
- written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
- alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
- only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
- with subsection 6b.
-
- d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
- place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
- Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
- further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
- Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
- copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
- may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
- that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
- clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
- Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
- Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
- available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
-
- e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
- you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
- Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
- charge under subsection 6d.
-
- A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
-from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
-included in conveying the object code work.
-
- A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
-tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
-or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
-into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
-doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
-product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
-typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
-of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
-actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
-is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
-commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
-the only significant mode of use of the product.
-
- "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
-procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
-and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
-a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
-suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
-code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
-modification has been made.
-
- If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
-specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
-part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
-User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
-fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
-Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
-by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
-if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
-modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
-been installed in ROM).
-
- The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
-requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
-for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
-the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
-network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
-adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
-protocols for communication across the network.
-
- Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
-in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
-documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
-source code form), and must require no special password or key for
-unpacking, reading or copying.
-
- 7. Additional Terms.
-
- "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
-License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
-Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
-be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
-that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
-apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
-under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
-this License without regard to the additional permissions.
-
- When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
-remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
-it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
-removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
-additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
-for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
-
- Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
-add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
-that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
-
- a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
- terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
-
- b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
- author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
- Notices displayed by works containing it; or
-
- c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
- requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
- reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
-
- d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
- authors of the material; or
-
- e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
- trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
-
- f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
- material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
- it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
- any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
- those licensors and authors.
-
- All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
-restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
-received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
-governed by this License along with a term that is a further
-restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
-a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
-License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
-of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
-not survive such relicensing or conveying.
-
- If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
-must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
-additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
-where to find the applicable terms.
-
- Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
-form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
-the above requirements apply either way.
-
- 8. Termination.
-
- You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
-provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
-modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
-this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
-paragraph of section 11).
-
- However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
-license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
-provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
-finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
-holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
-prior to 60 days after the cessation.
-
- Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
-reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
-violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
-received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
-copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
-your receipt of the notice.
-
- Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
-licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
-this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
-reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
-material under section 10.
-
- 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
-
- You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
-run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
-occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
-to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
-nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
-modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
-not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
-covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
-
- 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
-
- Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
-receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
-propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
-for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
-
- An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
-organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
-organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
-work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
-transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
-licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
-give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
-Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
-the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
-
- You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
-rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
-not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
-rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
-(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
-any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
-sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
-
- 11. Patents.
-
- A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
-License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
-work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
-
- A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
-owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
-hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
-by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
-but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
-consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
-purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
-patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
-this License.
-
- Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
-patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
-make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
-propagate the contents of its contributor version.
-
- In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
-agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
-(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
-sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
-party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
-patent against the party.
-
- If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
-and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
-to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
-publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
-then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
-available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
-patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
-consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
-license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
-actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
-covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
-in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
-country that you have reason to believe are valid.
-
- If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
-arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
-covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
-receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
-or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
-you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
-work and works based on it.
-
- A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
-the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
-conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
-specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
-work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
-in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
-to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
-the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
-parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
-patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
-conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
-for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
-contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
-or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
-
- Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
-any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
-otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
-
- 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
-
- If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
-covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
-not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
-to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
-the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
-License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
-
- 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
-
- Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
-permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
-under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
-combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
-License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
-but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
-section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
-combination as such.
-
- 14. Revised Versions of this License.
-
- The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
-the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
- Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
-Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
-Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
-option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
-version or of any later version published by the Free Software
-Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
-GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
-by the Free Software Foundation.
-
- If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
-versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
-public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
-to choose that version for the Program.
-
- Later license versions may give you additional or different
-permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
-author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
-later version.
-
- 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
-
- THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
-APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
-HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
-OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
-THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
-PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
-IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
-ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
- 16. Limitation of Liability.
-
- IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
-THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
-GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
-USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
-DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
-PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
-EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
-SUCH DAMAGES.
-
- 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
-
- If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
-above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
-reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
-an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
-Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
-copy of the Program in return for a fee.
-
- END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
- How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
- If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
- To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
- <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

- GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
- Version 3, 29 June 2007
-
- Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-
- This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
-the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
-License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
-
- 0. Additional Definitions.
-
- As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
-General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
-General Public License.
-
- "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
-other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
-
- An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
-by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
-Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
-of using an interface provided by the Library.
-
- A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
-Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
-with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
-Version".
-
- The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
-Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
-for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
-based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
-
- The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
-object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
-and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
-Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
-
- 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
-
- You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
-without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
-
- 2. Conveying Modified Versions.
-
- If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
-facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
-that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
-facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
-version:
-
- a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
- ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
- function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
- whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
-
- b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
- this License applicable to that copy.
-
- 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
-
- The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
-a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
-code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
-material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
-layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
-(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
-
- a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
- Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
- covered by this License.
-
- b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
- document.
-
- 4. Combined Works.
-
- You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
-taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
-portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
-engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
-the following:
-
- a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
- the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
- covered by this License.
-
- b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
- document.
-
- c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
- execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
- these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
- copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
-
- d) Do one of the following:
-
- 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
- License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
- suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
- recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
- the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
- manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
- Corresponding Source.
-
- 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
- Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
- a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
- system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
- of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
- Version.
-
- e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
- be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
- GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
- necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
- Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
- Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
- you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
- the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
- Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
- Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
- for conveying Corresponding Source.)
-
- 5. Combined Libraries.
-
- You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
-Library side by side in a single library together with other library
-facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
-License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
-choice, if you do both of the following:
-
- a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
- on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
- conveyed under the terms of this License.
-
- b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
- is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
- accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
-
- 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
-
- The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
-versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
-differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
-
- Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
-Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
-of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
-applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
-conditions either of that published version or of any later version
-published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
-received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
-General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
-General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
-
- If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
-whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
-apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
-permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
-Library.
