The basix package contains the usual data types, the language environments, the evaluators and the abstract language on which the Mathemagix language is actually based.

Installation notes and the most recent version of this package are to be found from the Mathemagix Internet home page available from www.mathemagix.org.

1.A simple example of use

Here follows a simple example named example.cpp:

#include "basix/string.hpp"
#include "basix/list.hpp"

using namespace mmx;

int main () {
  list<string> x ("a", "b", "c");
  list<int> y (1, 2, 3);

  mmout << "x = " << x << "\n";
  mmout << "y = " << y << "\n";
}

The following command can be used to compile file:

g++ ‘basix-config --cppflags --libs‘ example.cpp -o example

As a result you can now run example and obtain:

["a", "b", "c"]
[1, 2, 3]

Hereabove the command basix-config –cppflags –libs produces all the necessary include and library paths. More options are described though basix-config –help:

Usage: basix-config [OPTION]

Available values for OPTION include:

--cppflags    compiler preprocessor flags
