Next: Valuator reference counting, Previous: Maintaining the stack, Up: Value methods [Contents][Index]
Creates a new valuator. The parent object of the new valuator will be the tree iterator t, and the reference count of the new valuator will be 1. The reference count of t is increased by 1.
The parent tree iterator is “paused”, so that the tree iterator cannot move on to a new parse tree until the valuator is destroyed. Many valuators of the same parse tree can exist at once. A tree iterator is “unpaused” when all of the valuators of that tree iterator are destroyed.
Return value: On success, the newly created valuator.
On failure, NULL
