/* math.h - interface to shell math "library" -- this allows shells to share
* the implementation of arithmetic $((...)) expansions.
*
* This aims to be a POSIX shell math library as documented here:
* http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_06_04
*
* See math.c for internal documentation.

/* The math library has just one function:
*
* arith_t arith(const char *expr, int *perrcode, arith_eval_hooks_t *hooks);
*
* The first argument is the math string to parse. All normal expansions must
* be done already. i.e. no dollar symbols should be present.
*
* The second argument is a semi-detailed error description in case something
* goes wrong in the parsing steps. Currently, those values are (for
* compatibility, you should assume all negative values are errors):
* 0 - no errors (yay!)
* -1 - unspecified problem
* -2 - divide by zero
* -3 - exponent less than 0
* -5 - expression recursion loop detected
*
* The third argument is a struct pointer of hooks for your shell (see below).
*
* The function returns the answer to the expression. So if you called it
* with the expression:
* "1 + 2 + 3"
* You would obviously get back 6.

/* To add support to a shell, you need to implement three functions:
*
* lookupvar() - look up and return the value of a variable
*
* If the shell does:
* foo=123
* Then the code:
* const char *val = lookupvar("foo");
* Will result in val pointing to "123"
*
* setvar() - set a variable to some value
*
* If the arithmetic expansion does something like:
* $(( i = 1))
* Then the math code will make a call like so:
* setvar("i", "1", 0);
* The storage for the first two parameters are not allocated, so your
* shell implementation will most likely need to strdup() them to save.
*
* endofname() - return the end of a variable name from input
*
* The arithmetic code does not know about variable naming conventions.
* So when it is given an experession, it knows something is not numeric,
* but it is up to the shell to dictate what is a valid identifiers.
* So when it encounters something like:
* $(( some_var + 123 ))
* It will make a call like so:
* end = endofname("some_var + 123");
* So the shell needs to scan the input string and return a pointer to the
* first non-identifier string. In this case, it should return the input
* pointer with an offset pointing to the first space. The typical
* implementation will return the offset of first char that does not match
* the regex (in C locale): ^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*
*/
/* To make your life easier when dealing with optional 64bit math support,
* rather than assume that the type is "signed long" and you can always
* use "%ld" to scan/print the value, use the arith_t helper defines. See
* below for the exact things that are available.
