[GiNaC-list] parse own function

[Jens Vollinga]

Hi Jan,

what you see is a bug in GiNaC (or at least in the documentation because 
it doesn't describe a possible though ugly work-around), your code is fine.

A working version would be:

#include <iostream>
#include <ginac/ginac.h>

using namespace std;
using namespace GiNaC;

DECLARE_FUNCTION_3P(myfct)
REGISTER_FUNCTION(myfct,dummy())
ex myfct_reader(const exvector& ev)
{
     return myfct(ev[0], ev[1], ev[2]);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
     symbol x("x"),y("y");
     symtab table;
     table["x"] = x;
     table["y"] = y;
     prototype_table funcs = get_default_reader();
     funcs[make_pair("myfct", 3)] = myfct_reader;
     parser reader(table, false, funcs);
     string str = "myfct(x,y,2)";
     ex e = reader(str);
     cout  << e << endl;
     return 0;
}

Anyway, thanks for the "bug"-report. We'll try to fix it.

Regards,
Jens
