For * instance, if a series of adjacent multiplies are being reduced, the * prec_limit will be the precedence for multiply. If the next operator is * add, the merge will be cancelled. */ bool expr_stack::merge_top(int prec_limit) { // Get the first operand. if(!top()->is_operand()) throw bad_expression("Missing operand."); auto rt_opnd = std::dynamic_pointer_cast<Operand>(pop()); // Stack well-formed, but combine is canceled. if(empty() || top()->is_left() || (prec_limit != -1 && top()->is_operator() && std::dynamic_pointer_cast<Operator>(top())->prec() < prec_limit)) { // Not going to merge.
