Tcl_CreateMathFunc(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_CreateMathFunc(3)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tcl_CreateMathFunc, Tcl_GetMathFuncInfo, Tcl_ListMathFuncs - Define, query and enumerate
math functions for expressions
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
void
Tcl_CreateMathFunc(interp, name, numArgs, argTypes, proc, clientData)
int
Tcl_GetMathFuncInfo(interp, name, numArgsPtr, argTypesPtr, procPtr,
clientDataPtr)
Tcl_Obj *
Tcl_ListMathFuncs(interp, pattern)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter in which new function will be
defined.
const char *name (in) Name for new function.
int numArgs (in) Number of arguments to new function; also
gives size of argTypes array.
Tcl_ValueType *argTypes (in) Points to an array giving the permissible types
for each argument to function.
Tcl_MathProc *proc (in) Procedure that implements the function.
ClientData clientData (in) Arbitrary one-word value to pass to proc when
it is invoked.
int *numArgsPtr (out) Points to a variable that will be set to con-
tain the number of arguments to the function.
Tcl_ValueType **argTypesPtr (out) Points to a variable that will be set to con-
tain a pointer to an array giving the permissi-
ble types for each argument to the function
which will need to be freed up using Tcl_Free.
Tcl_MathProc **procPtr (out) Points to a variable that will be set to con-
tain a pointer to the implementation code for
the function (or NULL if the function is imple-
mented directly in bytecode).
ClientData *clientDataPtr (out) Points to a variable that will be set to con-
tain the clientData argument passed to Tcl_Cre-
ateMathFunc when the function was created if
the function is not implemented directly in
bytecode.
const char *pattern (in) Pattern to match against function names so as
to filter them (by passing to Tcl_StringMatch),
or NULL to not apply any filter.

DESCRIPTION
Tcl allows a number of mathematical functions to be used in expressions, such as sin, cos,
and hypot. These functions are represented by commands in the namespace, tcl::mathfunc.
The Tcl_CreateMathFunc function is an obsolete way for applications to add additional
functions to those already provided by Tcl or to replace existing functions. It should
not be used by new applications, which should create math functions using Tcl_CreateObj-
Command to create a command in the tcl::mathfunc namespace.
In the Tcl_CreateMathFunc interface, Name is the name of the function as it will appear in
expressions. If name does not already exist in the ::tcl::mathfunc namespace, then a new
command is created in that namespace. If name does exist, then the existing function is
replaced. NumArgs and argTypes describe the arguments to the function. Each entry in the
argTypes array must be one of TCL_INT, TCL_DOUBLE, TCL_WIDE_INT, or TCL_EITHER to indicate
whether the corresponding argument must be an integer, a double-precision floating value,
a wide (64-bit) integer, or any, respectively.
Whenever the function is invoked in an expression Tcl will invoke proc. Proc should have
arguments and result that match the type Tcl_MathProc:
typedef int Tcl_MathProc(
ClientData clientData,
Tcl_Interp *interp,
Tcl_Value *args,
Tcl_Value *resultPtr);
When proc is invoked the clientData and interp arguments will be the same as those passed
to Tcl_CreateMathFunc. Args will point to an array of numArgs Tcl_Value structures, which
describe the actual arguments to the function:
typedef struct Tcl_Value {
Tcl_ValueType type;
long intValue;
double doubleValue;
Tcl_WideInt wideValue;
} Tcl_Value;
The type field indicates the type of the argument and is one of TCL_INT, TCL_DOUBLE or
TCL_WIDE_INT. It will match the argTypes value specified for the function unless the
argTypes value was TCL_EITHER. Tcl converts the argument supplied in the expression to the
type requested in argTypes, if that is necessary. Depending on the value of the type
field, the intValue, doubleValue or wideValue field will contain the actual value of the
argument.
Proc should compute its result and store it either as an integer in resultPtr->intValue or
as a floating value in resultPtr->doubleValue. It should set also resultPtr->type to one
of TCL_INT, TCL_DOUBLE or TCL_WIDE_INT to indicate which value was set. Under normal cir-
cumstances proc should return TCL_OK. If an error occurs while executing the function,
proc should return TCL_ERROR and leave an error message in the interpreter's result.
Tcl_GetMathFuncInfo retrieves the values associated with function name that were passed to
a preceding Tcl_CreateMathFunc call. Normally, the return code is TCL_OK but if the named
function does not exist, TCL_ERROR is returned and an error message is placed in the
interpreter's result.
If an error did not occur, the array reference placed in the variable pointed to by
argTypesPtr is newly allocated, and should be released by passing it to Tcl_Free. Some
functions (the standard set implemented in the core, and those defined by placing commands
in the tcl::mathfunc namespace) do not have argument type information; attempting to
retrieve values for them causes a NULL to be stored in the variable pointed to by procPtr
and the variable pointed to by clientDataPtr will not be modified. The variable pointed
to by numArgsPointer will contain -1, and no argument types will be stored in the variable
pointed to by argTypesPointer.
Tcl_ListMathFuncs returns a Tcl object containing a list of all the math functions defined
in the interpreter whose name matches pattern. The returned object has a reference count
of zero.
