Detailed Description

The interface to MDL expressions.

Expressions can be created using the expression factory mi::neuraylib::IExpression_factory.

Member Enumeration Documentation

The possible kinds of expressions.

Enumerator
EK_CONSTANT	A constant expression. See mi::neuraylib::IExpression_constant.
EK_CALL	An indirect call expression. See mi::neuraylib::IExpression_call.
EK_PARAMETER	A parameter reference expression. See mi::neuraylib::IExpression_parameter.
EK_DIRECT_CALL	A direct call expression. See mi::neuraylib::IExpression_direct_call.
EK_TEMPORARY	A temporary reference expression. See mi::neuraylib::IExpression_temporary.
