What I am basically trying to do is take a string that represents a mathematical function such as
"4x^2+3"
and parse it into a function my application can invoke later. In C# I know that I can do this using the Expression Library. Once its parsed I can combine the parsed pieces without having multiple if checks or switch statements in my code.
Is there some similar way to do this in C++. I would like to parse the string once and when I plug in parameters later it will not have to parse the tree again or follow a secondary description of the function to follow.
Also bonus points if the solution can work using C++ Amp library.
Found the answer. The Expression library equivalent is Boost.Proto
