Macro Definition Documentation

◆ DEFALIAS

#define DEFALIAS	(	alias,
		name
	)

Macro to define an alias for another existing function name.

For detailed information, see Important Macros.

Parameters

alias	For another existing function name.
name	The name of the other existing function.

See also: DEFUN

Definition at line 214 of file defun.h.

◆ DEFCONSTFUN

#define DEFCONSTFUN	(	name,
		args_name,
		nargout_name,
		doc
	)	DECLARE_FUN (name, args_name, nargout_name)

Macro to define a builtin function that cannot be hidden by a variable.

Warning: Consider to use DEFUN, unless you have good reason.

For detailed information, see Important Macros.

The function gets installed to the 'octave::symbol_table' in a way, such that no variable is allowed to hide this function name.

Parameters

name	The unquoted name of the function that should be installed on the 'octave::symbol_table' and can be called by the interpreter. Internally, the function name is prepended by an 'F'.
args_name	The name of the octave_value_list variable used to pass the argument list to this function. If this value is omitted, the function cannot access the argument list.
nargout_name	The name of the 'int' variable used to pass the number of output arguments this function is expected to produce from the caller. If this value is omitted, the function cannot access this number.
doc	Texinfo help text (docstring) for the function.

◆ DEFCONSTMETHOD

#define DEFCONSTMETHOD	(	name,
		interp_name,
		args_name,
		nargout_name,
		doc
	)	DECLARE_METHOD (name, interp_name, args_name, nargout_name)

Macro to define a builtin method that cannot be hidden by a variable.

Warning: Consider to use DEFMETHOD, unless you have good reason.

For detailed information, see Important Macros.

The method gets installed to the 'octave::symbol_table' in a way, such that no variable is allowed to hide this method name.

Parameters

name	The unquoted name of the method that should be installed on the 'octave::symbol_table' and can be called by the interpreter. Internally, the method name is prepended by an 'F'.
interp_name	The name of the 'octave::interpreter' reference that can be used by this method. If this value is omitted, there is no access to the interpreter and one should use DEFCONSTFUN to define a function instead.
args_name	The name of the octave_value_list variable used to pass the argument list to this method. If this value is omitted, the method cannot access the argument list.
nargout_name	The name of the 'int' variable used to pass the number of output arguments this method is expected to produce from the caller. If this value is omitted, the method cannot access this number.
doc	Texinfo help text (docstring) for the method.

◆ DEFMETHOD

#define DEFMETHOD	(	name,
		interp_name,
		args_name,
		nargout_name,
		doc
	)	DECLARE_METHOD (name, interp_name, args_name, nargout_name)

Macro to define a builtin method.

For detailed information, see Important Macros.

Parameters

name	The unquoted name of the method that should be installed on the 'octave::symbol_table' and can be called by the interpreter. Internally, the method name is prepended by an 'F'.
interp_name	The name of the 'octave::interpreter' reference that can be used by this method. If this value is omitted, there is no access to the interpreter and one should use DEFUN to define a function instead.
args_name	The name of the octave_value_list variable used to pass the argument list to this method. If this value is omitted, the method cannot access the argument list.
nargout_name	The name of the 'int' variable used to pass the number of output arguments this method is expected to produce from the caller. If this value is omitted, the method cannot access this number.
doc	Texinfo help text (docstring) for the method.

◆ DEFMETHODX

#define DEFMETHODX	(	name,
		fname,
		interp_name,
		args_name,
		nargout_name,
		doc
	)	DECLARE_METHODX (fname, interp_name, args_name, nargout_name)

Macro to define a builtin method with certain internal name.

Warning: Consider to use DEFMETHOD, unless you have good reason.

For detailed information, see Important Macros.

This macro can be used when name cannot be used directly (for example if it is already defined as a macro). In that case, name is already a quoted string (thus unaffected by macros), and the internal name of the method is given by fname.

Parameters

name	The quoted name of the method that should be callable by the interpreter.
fname	The internal unquoted name of the method. This internal name is by convention prepended by an 'F'.
interp_name	The name of the 'octave::interpreter' reference that can be used by this method. If this value is omitted, there is no access to the interpreter and one should use DEFUNX to define a function instead.
args_name	The name of the octave_value_list variable used to pass the argument list to this method. If this value is omitted, the method cannot access the argument list.
nargout_name	The name of the 'int' variable used to pass the number of output arguments this method is expected to produce from the caller. If this value is omitted, the method cannot access this number.
doc	Texinfo help text (docstring) for the method.

		args_name,
		nargout_name,
