Expression Evaluation

[ArchitAnant]

Main Task

The best thing about the GNU find is it's expression evaluation and multiples compound checking which can be passed like as arguments

Current Situation

ffind currently searches and finds the directory faster than GNU find but still doesn't have that complex expression evaluation.

Objective

So the next task is to code transplant the amazing work which is there in the GNU find for expression building and evaluation

Search and Found

GNU findutils main repo : findutils

There expression evaluation starts here

// find/ftsfind.c Line : 770

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
...
eval_tree = build_expression_tree (argc, argv, end_of_leading_options);
...
}

Which follows to this file

// find/tree Line : 1246

struct predicate*
build_expression_tree (int argc, char *argv[], int end_of_leading_options)
{
...
}

Final Follow up

The final objective is to build a function that does something like

int 
is_valid_path(char[] path, struct predicate* eval_tree)
{

// compare the path with the eval_tree to find if the path satisfies it

}
