Since these are not valid pointers, Julia cannot treat them like other GAP objects, which are simply Julia objects of type GAP.GapObj. Instead, a conversion is unavoidable, at least when immediate objects are passed as stand-alone arguments to a function.

    GAP.Obj

    This is an alias for Union{GapObj,FFE,Int64,Bool}. This type union covers all types a "native" GAP object may have from Julia's viewpoint.

    Moreover, it can be used as a constructor, in order to convert Julia objects to GAP objects, whenever a suitable conversion has been defined.

    Recursive conversion of nested Julia objects (arrays, tuples, dictionaries) can be forced either by a second argument true or by the keyword argument recursive with value true.

    GapInt

    Any GAP integer object is represented in Julia as either a GapObj (if it is a "large" integer) or as an Int (if it is a "small" integer). This type union can be used to express this conveniently, e.g. when one wants to help type stability.

    Note that also GAP's infinity and -infinity fit under this type (as do many other objects which are not numbers).

    Introduction

    GAP.jl is a low level interface from Julia to the computer algebra system GAP. The term "low level" means that the aim is to give Julia access to all GAP objects, to let Julia call GAP functions, and to provide conversions of low level data (integers, Booleans, strings, arrays/lists, dictionaries/records) between the two systems.

    In particular, it is not the aim of GAP.jl to provide Julia types for higher level GAP objects that represent algebraic structures, such as groups, rings, fields, etc., and mappings between such structures.

    The connection between GAP and Julia is in fact bidirectional, that is, GAP can access all Julia objects, call Julia functions, and perform conversions of low level data. This direction will become interesting on the Julia side as soon as GAP packages provide functionality that is based on using Julia code from the GAP side.

    The viewpoint of an interface from GAP to Julia is described in the manual of the GAP package JuliaInterface.

    This macro is intended to be applied to a method definition for a unary function called attr, say, where the argument has the type T, say, the code contains exactly one call of the form GAP.Globals.Something(X), where Something is a GAP attribute such as Centre or IsSolvableGroup, and attr returns the corresponding attribute value for its argument.

    The macro defines three functions attr, has_attr, and set_attr, where attr takes an argument of type T and returns what the given method definition says, has_attr takes an argument of type T and returns the result of GAP.Globals.HasSomething(X) (which is either true or false), set_attr takes an argument of type T and an object obj and calls GAP.Globals.SetSomething(X, obj).

    In order to avoid runtime access via GAP.Globals.Something etc., the same modifications are applied in the construction of the three functions that are applied by @gapwrap.

    GAP.@wrapMacro
    @wrap funcdecl

    When applied to a function declaration of the form NAME(a::T) or NAME(a::T)::S, this macro generates a function which behaves equivalently to NAME(a::T) = GAP.Globals.NAME(a) resp. NAME(a::T) = GAP.Globals.NAME(a)::S, assuming that GAP.Globals.NAME references a GAP function. Function declarations with more than one argument or zero arguments are also supported.

    However, the generated function actually caches the GAP object GAP.Globals.NAME. This minimizes the call overhead. So @wrap typically is used to provide an optimized way to call certain GAP functions.

    If an argument is annotated as ::GapObj (respectively ::GAP.Obj or ::GapInt), the resulting function accepts arguments of any type and attempts to convert them to GapObj (respectively GAP.Obj or GapInt) before passing them to the GAP function.

    Another use case for this macro is to improve type stability of code calling into GAP, via the type annotations for the arguments and return value contained in the function declaration.

    Be advised, though, that if the value of GAP.Globals.NAME is changed later on, the function generated by this macro will not be updated, i.e., it will still reference the original GAP object.

    This section describes how one can manipulate GAP objects from the Julia side, using Julia syntax features.

    In particular, the following is available on the Julia side in order to support special GAP syntax beyond function calls with arguments.

    • Call functions with global options via call_gap_func or using Julia's keyword argument syntax. For example, Cyc(1.41421356 : bits:=20) in GAP translates to GAP.Globals.Cyc(GAP.Obj(1.41421356); bits=20) in Julia.

    • Access list/matrix entries via getindex and setindex! respectively the corresponding Julia syntax (described there).

    • Access record components via getproperty and setproperty! respectively the corresponding Julia syntax (described there).

    • Check for bound record components via hasproperty.

    • Access entries of a positional object via getbangindex, equivalent to GAP's ![] operator.

    • Access components of a component object via getbangproperty, equivalent to GAP's !. operator.

    GAP.call_gap_funcFunction
    call_gap_func(func::GapObj, args...; kwargs...)

    Call the GAP object func as a function, with arguments args... and global GAP options kwargs..., and return the result if there is one, and nothing otherwise.

    There is no argument number checking here, all checks on the arguments are done by GAP itself.

    For convenience, one can use the syntax func(args...; kwargs...).

    If install is set to true or to a string and (the desired version of) the required GAP package is not yet installed and spec is the package name then install is called first, in order to install the package; if no version is prescribed then the newest released version of the package will be installed. A string value of install can be the URL of an archive or repository containing a package, or the URL of a PackageInfo.g file, like the first argument of install.

    The function calls GAP's LoadPackage function. If quiet is set to false then package banners are shown for all packages being loaded. The quiet value is also passed on to install.

    source
    GAP.Packages.installFunction
    install(spec::String, version::String = "";
                           interactive::Bool = true, quiet::Bool = false,
                           debug::Bool = false,
    -                      pkgdir::AbstractString = GAP.Packages.DEFAULT_PKGDIR[])

    Download and install the GAP package given by spec into the pkgdir directory.

    spec can be either the name of a package or the URL of an archive or repository containing a package, or the URL of a PackageInfo.g file.

    If spec is the name of a package then the package version can be specified by version, in the format described for GAP's CompareVersionNumbers function. In all other cases the newest released version of the package will get installed.

    Return true if the installation is successful or if (a version compatible with version) of the package was already installed, and false otherwise.

    The function uses the function InstallPackage from GAP's package PackageManager. The info messages shown by this function can be suppressed by passing true as the value of quiet. Specifying interactive = false will prevent PackageManager from prompting the user for input interactively. For details, please refer to its documentation.

    update(spec::String; interactive::Bool = true, quiet::Bool = false,

    Update the GAP package given by spec that is installed in the pkgdir directory, to the latest version. Return true if a newer version was installed successfully, or if no newer version is available, and false otherwise.
