Design Flag Patterns

The Design Flag Pattern provides a way to extend the specification of certain NOTE_CLASS_xxx types when searching for specific design notes. 

#define	DFLAGPAT_EXAMPLE "(+AB-C*DE"  /* This is an example of a Design Flag Pattern definition - see "stdnames.h" */ 

Each Design Flag Pattern definition follows a specific format.  This format consists of a series of Design Flag values and the logical operators used to interpret them.  When a combination of at least two logical operators is used, the combination operator "(" as well as placeholders for any unused logical operator must also be included.  If the need for only one logical operator is required for the complete Design Flag Pattern definition, neither the use of the combination operator "(", nor the use of placeholders for the unused operators is needed, but may be implemented for the sake of consistency and still conform to the specified format criteria.

The operators consist of the following:

"+" 	denotes ANY of the flags that follow.
"-" 	denotes NONE of the flags that follow.
"*" 	denotes ALL of the flags that follow.
"(" 	denotes use of any combination of the above, including "place holders" for unused logical operators.

Examples of how to interpret typical Design Flag Pattern values:

"(+AB-C*DE" would be interpreted as (A OR B) AND (NOT C) AND (D AND E) 

Where A, B, C, D and E are Design Flag values defined in the C API header file "stdnames.h".  This Design Flag Pattern uses the combination operator "(" and all of the logical operators "+, -, *".  In this example, each logical operator is followed by one or more Design Flag values. 

"(+AB-C*" would be interpreted as (A OR B) AND (NOT C)

When any combination of logical operators is used, the combination operator "(", as well as place holders for any unused logical operator must also be included.  In this example, since no Design Flags follow the logical operator "*", it is defined as a place holder and must be present in order for the Design Flag Pattern definition to be interpretable.  

"(+-Q*", is equivalent to "-Q", either would be interpreted as (NOT Q)

These two Design Flag Pattern definitions are identical and correct.  The first, "(+-Q*" uses the combination operator "(" and placeholders for the logical operators "+" and "*".  Again, the "+" and "*" are defined as place holders because no Design Flag values follow them.  If the definition of a Design Flag Pattern needs only one logical operator, as in the example above, neither the use of the combination operator "(", nor the use of place holders for the unused operators is required, therefore (NOT Q) can be correctly defined as "-Q" as well as "(+-Q*". 

The creation of any Design Flag Pattern definition that does not conform to this format criteria will not be interpretable.  A list of common Design Flag Patterns and Design Flags can be found in the file "stdnames.h".
