@c man begin EXPRESSION EVALUATION
4
When evaluating an arithemetic expression, Libav uses an internal
5
formula evaluator, implemented through the @file{libavutil/eval.h}
8
An expression may contain unary, binary operators, constants, and
11
Two expressions @var{expr1} and @var{expr2} can be combined to form
12
another expression "@var{expr1};@var{expr2}".
13
@var{expr1} and @var{expr2} are evaluated in turn, and the new
14
expression evaluates to the value of @var{expr2}.
16
The following binary operators are available: @code{+}, @code{-},
17
@code{*}, @code{/}, @code{^}.
19
The following unary operators are available: @code{+}, @code{-}.
21
The following functions are available:
38
Return 1.0 if @var{x} is NAN, 0.0 otherwise.
49
Allow to store the value of the expression @var{expr} in an internal
50
variable. @var{var} specifies the number of the variable where to
51
store the value, and it is a value ranging from 0 to 9. The function
52
returns the value stored in the internal variable.
55
Allow to load the value of the internal variable with number
56
@var{var}, which was previosly stored with st(@var{var}, @var{expr}).
57
The function returns the loaded value.
59
@item while(cond, expr)
60
Evaluate expression @var{expr} while the expression @var{cond} is
61
non-zero, and returns the value of the last @var{expr} evaluation, or
62
NAN if @var{cond} was always false.
65
Round the value of expression @var{expr} upwards to the nearest
66
integer. For example, "ceil(1.5)" is "2.0".
69
Round the value of expression @var{expr} downwards to the nearest
70
integer. For example, "floor(-1.5)" is "-2.0".
73
Round the value of expression @var{expr} towards zero to the nearest
74
integer. For example, "trunc(-1.5)" is "-1.0".
79
@code{*} works like AND
81
@code{+} works like OR
92
When A evaluates to either 1 or 0, that is the same as
97
In your C code, you can extend the list of unary and binary functions,
98
and define recognized constants, so that they are available for your
101
The evaluator also recognizes the International System number
102
postfixes. If 'i' is appended after the postfix, powers of 2 are used
103
instead of powers of 10. The 'B' postfix multiplies the value for 8,
104
and can be appended after another postfix or used alone. This allows
105
using for example 'KB', 'MiB', 'G' and 'B' as postfix.
107
Follows the list of available International System postfixes, with
108
indication of the corresponding powers of 10 and of 2.
