Subject: Re: [radare] Order of operations supported?


Yep. The r_num_math calculates the operations as in a flow. I know it's ugly as 
long as its not math compliant. But it works faster than constructing a tree in 
memory and walk over it. And its ok for most situations.. Maybe this should be 
documented somewhere or use a complete ast to do the math.

The code is in libr/util/num.c and there's a test suite for it in t/.

If you want to contribute with a better implementation i'm open to suggestions 
and patches :)
