For now, just dot product, trig, and min/max/bound, but it works well as
a proof of concept. The main goal was actually min. Only the list of
symbols is provided, it is the user's responsibility to set up the
symbol table and context.
cexpr's symbol tables currently aren't readily extended, and dynamic
scoping is usually a good thing anyway. The chain of contexts is walked
when a symbol is not found in the current context's symtab, but minor
efforts are made to avoid checking the same symtab twice (usually cased
by cloning a context but not updating the symtab).
This allows plist objects to be accessed directly from cexpr expressions
using struct.field syntax for dictionary objects and array[index] syntax
for array objects.
The way I wound up using the field meant that exprctx should not "own"
the hashlinks chain, but rather just point to it. This fixes the nasty
access errors I had.
It is capable of parsing single expressions with fairly simple
operations. It current supports ints, enums, cvars and (external) data
structs. It is also thread-safe (in theory, needs proper testing) and
the memory it uses can be mass-freed.
