This lib takes a expression, split in tokens, convert it to a reverse polish notation and then eval it using user defined callback functions. It’s really simple but I’m happy it works and can be extended to way more complex situations.
it’s cool you are sharing using fpm! It was so easy to test your project, just three commands:
$ git clone https://github.com/14NGiestas/shunting-yard-fortran.git
$ cd shunting-yard-fortran
$ fpm run
It seems a nice project, probably some people here will be interested!
I remember my father was using reverse polish notation on his HP calculator at the beginning of the 80’s, and some years later with the Forth language. But I have myself never used it.
The RPN is a really weird notation to write (IMO), but is really simple to evaluate it’s expressions thus it simplifies a lot such algorithm. I was curious to integrate fpm in some of my projects already, since I’ve been following closely the stdlib and fpm projects. I really liked how easy it was to use and integrate the fpm (way easier than Makefiles ).
Thanks, I created that one to simplify the BLAS/LAPACK calls on my main project (which is rewrite a old electronic structure of semiconductors legacy code in Modern Fortran), so I’ve started with the subroutines I needed most. I hope to get back to that soon, and also integrate the CUDA / OpenACC stuff in it.
