Detailed Description

The GlsBoolExpression provides a string-based boolean expression parser and evaluator for use with simulation meta-data variables. The expressions can be read in from an input stream so that boolean simulation meta-data can be set as a boolean expression rather than just literal boolean values (true and false).

Variables in the expression are also meta-data items from an associated evaluation data dictionary. Variables should be enclosed in the variable delimiters $( and ), eg Literals and variable comparisons will always be done on a string basis, so care must be taken to achieve the desired results. This could be improved later if the need ever arises. So far, string comparisons have been sufficient.

One limitation is that an expression must be contained all on a single line. There is currently no support for a multiline expression. This can be changed by modifying the stream extraction operator.

virtual bool GlsBoolExpression::IsTrue ( const std::string &  word) const
protectedvirtual

Determines if the string represents a boolean value of true.

bool GlsBoolExpression::operator() ( ) const

This operator evaluates the boolean expression and returns true or false.

GlsBoolExpression& GlsBoolExpression::operator= ( const GlsBoolExpression r)
inline

Assignment operator.

virtual void GlsBoolExpression::Set ( const std::string &  val)
virtual

Sets the boolean expression. This changes the entire expression.

static void GlsBoolExpression::Tokenize ( const std::string &  expr,
TokenCont_t tokens 
)

Returns the uppercase version of a string.

static bool GlsBoolExpression::ValidInfix ( const TokenCont_t infixTokens)
staticprotected

Determines if the infix expression is syntactically correct.

static std::string::size_type GlsBoolExpression::VarLength ( const std::string &  input,
std::string::size_type  start 
)
staticprotected

Determines the length of the variable starting at start position in the input string.
