factor_base_index Function (ROM Call 0x2C9)

AMS 1.01 or higher estack.h

ESI factor_base_index (CESI ptr);

Gets the index of the base of an expression.

If ptr points to the POW_TAG, which is a case when it points to an expression of form base ^ exponent factor_base_index returns the pointer to base. If ptr does not point to the POW_TAG, factor_base_index returns ptr (i.e. the pointer to the expression itself).
