.. py:module:: ida_expr
.. autoapi-nested-parse::
Functions that deal with C-like expressions and built-in IDC language.
Functions marked THREAD_SAFE may be called from any thread. No simultaneous calls should be made for the same variable. We protect only global structures, individual variables must be protected manually.

:returns: false: error, see errbuf
.. py:function:: eval_idc_expr(rv: idc_value_t, where: ida_idaapi.ea_t, line: str) -> str

Convert IDC variable to a long number.
