minccalc.c

This is predominately a rehash of mincmath by Peter Neelin

 * $Log: minccalc.c,v $
 * Revision 1.19  2010-03-27 15:24:03  rotor
 *  * added outfile checks (with clobber) in minccalc
 *
 * Revision 1.18  2008/01/17 02:33:02  rotor
 *  * removed all rcsids
 *  * removed a bunch of ^L's that somehow crept in
 *  * removed old (and outdated) BUGS file
 *
 * Revision 1.17  2008/01/13 09:38:54  stever
 * Avoid compiler warnings about functions and variables that are defined
 * but not used.  Remove some such functions and variables,
 * conditionalize some, and move static declarations out of header files
 * into C files.
 *
 * Revision 1.16  2008/01/12 19:08:15  stever
 * Add __attribute__ ((unused)) to all rcsid variables.
 *
 * Revision 1.15  2008/01/11 04:24:16  rotor
 *  * updated all my email addresses
 *  * removed a (very) outdated TODO file
 *
 * Revision 1.14  2007/12/11 12:43:01  rotor
 *  * added static to all global variables in main programs to avoid linking
 *       problems with libraries (compress in mincconvert and libz for example)
 *
 * Revision 1.13  2005/08/26 21:07:16  bert
 * Use #if rather than #ifdef with MINC2 symbol, and be sure to include config.h whereever MINC2 is used
 *
 * Revision 1.12  2004/12/14 23:52:23  bert
 * Get rid of compilation warnings w/c99
 *
 * Revision 1.11  2004/11/01 22:38:38  bert
 * Eliminate all references to minc_def.h
 *
 * Revision 1.10  2004/06/11 20:55:37  bert
 * Fix for nasty bug which causes lots of bogus zero values to be inserted when minccalc is used with a file with a vector_dimension
 *
 * Revision 1.9  2004/04/27 15:37:52  bert
 * Added -2 option
 *
 * Revision 1.8  2001/05/24 15:08:40  neelin
 * Added support for comments so that minccalc scripts can be created.
 *
 * Revision 1.7  2001/05/04 15:40:33  neelin
 * Added -outfile option.
 * Changed syntax of for to use curlies around first part.
 * Changed syntax of for and if to evaluate an expression in the body, rather
 * than an expression list in curlies.
 *
 * Revision 1.6  2001/05/02 16:27:19  neelin
 * Fixed handling of invalid values. Added NaN constant. Force copy of
 * data when assigning to a symbol so that s1 = s2 = expr does the right
 * thing (s1 and s2 should be separate copies of the data). Updated man
 * page.
 *
 * Revision 1.5  2001/05/02 01:38:15  neelin
 * Major changes to allow parallel evaluations. Created scalar_t type
 * along the lines of vector_t (reference counting, etc.). Compiles
 * and runs on basic standard deviation calculation (with test for invalid
 * data). Gives over 3 times speedup compared to old version (on linux box).
 * SD calculation is slightly under half the speed of mincaverage.
 * Changes are significant enough and testing is little enough that there
 * are probably lots of bugs left.
 *
 * Revision 1.4  2001/04/30 19:16:43  neelin
 * Added assignment operator, made symbol table global, added expression lists,
 * for loops, if operators and changed range operator to colon.
 *
 * Revision 1.3  2001/04/26 19:12:39  neelin
 * Finished up addition of operators and handling of invalid values.
 * This version seems to work.
 *
 * Revision 1.2  2001/04/24 18:17:09  neelin
 * Added CVS logging.
 *
