______________________________________________________________________________

NAME
       Tcl_ExprLongObj,	 Tcl_ExprDoubleObj,  Tcl_ExprBooleanObj, Tcl_ExprObj -
       evaluate an expression

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tcl.h>

       int
       Tcl_ExprLongObj(interp, objPtr, longPtr)

       int
       Tcl_ExprDoubleObj(interp, objPtr, doublePtr)

       int
       Tcl_ExprBooleanObj(interp, objPtr, booleanPtr)

       int
       Tcl_ExprObj(interp, objPtr, resultPtrPtr)

ARGUMENTS
       Tcl_Interp   *interp	     (in)      Interpreter in whose context to
					       evaluate objPtr.

       Tcl_Obj	    *objPtr	     (in)      Pointer to an object containing
					       the expression to evaluate.

       long	    *longPtr	     (out)     Pointer to location in which to
					       store  the integer value of the
					       expression.

       int	    *doublePtr	     (out)     Pointer to location in which to
					       store  the floating-point value
					       of the expression.

       int	    *booleanPtr	     (out)     Pointer to location in which to
					       store  the 0/1 boolean value of
					       the expression.

       Tcl_Obj	    **resultPtrPtr   (out)     Pointer to location in which to
					       store  a	 pointer to the object
					       that  is	 the  result  of   the
					       expression.

DESCRIPTION
       These  four procedures all evaluate an expression, returning the result
       in one of four different forms.	The expression is given by the	objPtr
       argument,  and  it  can have any of the forms accepted by the expr com‐
       mand.

       The interp argument refers to  an  interpreter  used  to	 evaluate  the
       expression  (e.g.  for variables and nested Tcl commands) and to return
       error information.

       For all of these procedures the return value is a standard Tcl  result:
       TCL_OK  means  the expression was successfully evaluated, and TCL_ERROR
       means that an error  occurred  while  evaluating	 the  expression.   If
       TCL_ERROR  is  returned,	 then  a  message  describing the error can be
       retrieved using Tcl_GetObjResult.  If an error occurs while executing a
       Tcl  command  embedded  in  the	expression  then  that	error  will be
       returned.

       If the expression is successfully evaluated, then its value is returned
       in  one	of  four  forms,  depending  on	 which	procedure  is invoked.
       Tcl_ExprLongObj stores an integer value at *longPtr.   If  the  expres‐
       sion's actual value is a floating-point number, then it is truncated to
       an integer.  If the expression's actual value is a  non-numeric	string
       then an error is returned.

       Tcl_ExprDoubleObj  stores a floating-point value at *doublePtr.	If the
       expression's actual value is an integer, it is converted	 to  floating-
       point.	If  the expression's actual value is a non-numeric string then
       an error is returned.

       Tcl_ExprBooleanObj stores a 0/1 integer value at *booleanPtr.   If  the
       expression's  actual value is an integer or floating-point number, then
       they store 0 at *booleanPtr if the value was zero and 1 otherwise.   If
       the  expression's  actual value is a non-numeric string then it must be
       one of the values accepted by Tcl_GetBoolean such as ``yes'' or ``no'',
       or else an error occurs.

       If  Tcl_ExprObj	successfully  evaluates	 the  expression,  it stores a
       pointer	to  the	 Tcl  object  containing  the  expression's  value  at
       *resultPtrPtr.	In  this  case,	 the caller is responsible for calling
       Tcl_DecrRefCount to decrement the object's reference count when	it  is
       finished with the object.
