GAP.evalstr — Function

Note that screen outputs caused by evaluating cmd are not shown by evalstr; use evalstr_ex for accessing both the outputs and the return values of the command(s).

In general we recommend to avoid using evalstr, but it sometimes can be a useful escape hatch to access GAP functionality that is otherwise impossible to difficult to reach. But in most typical scenarios it should not be necessary to use it at all.

Instead, use GAP.GapObj or GAP.Obj for constructing GAP objects that correspond to given Julia objects, and call GAP functions directly in the Julia session. For example, executing GAP.evalstr( "x:= []; Add( x, 2 )" ) can be replaced by the Julia code x = GAP.GapObj([]); GAP.Globals.Add(x, 2). Note that the variable x in the former example lives in the GAP session, i.e., it can be accessed as GAP.Globals.x after the call of GAP.evalstr, whereas x in the latter example lives in the Julia session.

GAP.evalstr_ex — Function
evalstr_ex(cmd::String)

Assume that cmd consists of $n$ GAP statements, each terminated by ; or ;;. Let GAP execute these statements and return a GAP list of length $n$ that describes their results. Each entry of the return value is a GAP list of length 5, with the following meaning.

  • The first entry is true if the statement was executed successfully, and false otherwise.
  • If the first entry is true, then the second entry is bound to the result of the statement if there was one, and unbound otherwise.
  • The third entry is unbound if an error occured, true if the statement ends in a double semicolon, and false otherwise.
  • The fourth entry currently is always unbound.
  • The fifth entry contains the captured output of the statement as a string. If there was no double semicolon then also the output of GAP.Globals.ViewObj applied to the result value in the second entry, if any, is part of that string.

Examples

julia> GAP.evalstr_ex( "1+2" )        # error due to missing semicolon

GAP.prompt — Function

Start a GAP prompt where you can enter GAP commands as in a regular GAP session. This prompt can be left as any GAP prompt by either entering quit; or pressing ctrl-D, which returns to the Julia prompt.

GAP.jl

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.

GAP.@gapattribute — Macro
@gapattribute

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.

The variables that are created by the macro belong to the Julia module in whose scope the macro is called.

GAP.@wrap — Macro
@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.

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.

GAP.call_gap_func — Function
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 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.
