Like CHelper for Java, caide automates certain common tasks that you do during programming competitions: parsing, running and debugging problem tests, inlining library code. It currently supports C++ and C# programming languages. The list of supported online judges is here.

Download here. You can also install VS extension directly from Visual Studio.

      I've unpacked to many directories from PATH.

      After packing I checked using terminal;

      When I write caide in terminal as usual user, it returns

      bash: /bin/caide: Permission denied
      

      If I write as root user, it returns

      sudo: caide: command not found

        this can happen when you're trying to run 32-bit application under 64-bit system. Type ldd caide and install all the missing libraries.

It seems that Caide does not work with C++11 feature =delete. Caide removes unused declaration of constructor but remains attributes of this declaration.

For example, in solution file we have

class Test {
public:
	Test(int n) : n(n) {}
private:
	Test() = delete;
	int n;
};

void solve(istream& in, ostream& out) {
	Test a(1000);
}

Caide converts it to submission.cpp:

class Test {
public:
	Test(int n) : n(n) {}
private:
	 = delete;
	int n;
};

void solve(istream& in, ostream& out) {
	Test a(1000);
}

Compiler fails on file submission.cpp with error error C2059: syntax error : '='.

Is it possible to fix it?

Another bug is removing method that is called from destructor (in case if destructor is not called explicitly).

Because the code is rather huge, I put it on Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/CRQDgguM. The first two cases are failed, the last one worked fine, but it is not convenient to write in such way during coding.

To continue reporting streak just want to mention strange thing (not a bug actually).

I bet lots of participants have some defines like

#ifdef _WIN32
#define LLD "%I64d"
#else
#define LLD "%lld"
#endif

to make their code work under different environment.

Caide inliner module removes this ifdef and you need to fix you submission.cpp file manually. It is not very convenient to repeat this process every time. Is there any opportunity to tell inliner not to remove this ifdef?

      Hmm, it does not seem to work properly.

      I have platform-specific ifdef:

      #ifdef _WIN32
      #define LLD "%I64d"
      #else
      #define LLD "%lld"
      #endif
      

      In the submission.cpp I get the next:

      #ifdef _WIN32
      #else
      #define LLD "%lld"
      #endif
      

      Probably I am mistaken, but for me it seems that Caide removes that part of ifdef that should be choosen by compiler on my computer (so I have defined _WIN32 and this part is removed). I expected both parts to remain unchanged.

        First, make sure you use latest Codelite version. Then see "Codelite" section here. There is no plugin for Codelite, so you'll have to parse problems / switch between them from command line. The rest (compiling, running) can be done inside the IDE. Let me know if you have any questions.

First of all, thank you very much for this awesome tool.

Second, after the most recent update to VS2015 the following needs to be added to clang_options in caide.ini: -D__EDG__,

»
8 лет назад, # |
  Проголосовать: нравится 0 Проголосовать: не нравится

I published 2.2 release. This release contains improvements in C++ inliner. In particular, unused namespaces and comments attached to unused declarations are now removed. Make sure to have -fparse-all-comments clang option in your caide.ini file.

Note: If you use latest release of VS 2015, you need to add the clang option -D__EDG__ in your caide.ini file. Thanks to Jacob for catching this.

Also, in light of recent cin/scanf fiasco, I'd like to remind that you can configure caide to use printf/scanf, fast I/O or any other kind of I/O. All you have to do is modify the signature of solve function and make corresponding changes in 3 template files: main_template.cpp, solution_template.cpp and test_template.cpp (the last one is quite large but you're interested only in runTest function). A sample implementation for printf/scanf is here: https://github.com/slycelote/caide/tree/release/libcaide/doc/samples/cstyle-io

Another VS update broke the extension again... A hack to fix this is to add -D__is_assignable=__is_nothrow_assignable to clang_options config entry.

Hi. I was looking for a C++ code inliner, and found this one. I built it for Mac and looks like it's working, but I have some questions.

First, I parsed some problem and manually entered the correct sample output. But after I compile and run it, it outputs

Running test case1
...correct output goes here...

Results summary
_______________
Outcome	Count
Error	1

case1: Testwasnotrun

Why error and Testwasnotrun?

The more general question is how to use it in conjunction with some IDE? It would be convenient to use CMake to create a project with one target for every problem. Is there a way to configure problemID to be just one letter, not including any contest details? And what's the expected workflow for problems that cannot be parsed?

    It's surprising that it compiles out of the box, I didn't expect that :) If you could upload the Mac build somewhere, it would help other users.

    Why error and Testwasnotrun?

    That's puzzling, especially the lack of spaces. Can you send me a zip archive of your caide directory right after you do that?

    how to use it in conjunction with some IDE?

    Right now there is Codelite support, as described in the README. You still have to use terminal to switch between problems and create new ones, but the rest should be possible to do within Codelite.

    It would be convenient to use CMake

    Yes, it is in my plans, but no ETA yet. I've added a Github issue for it here

    Is there a way to configure problemID to be just one letter

    Not at the moment, I've added a Github issue here

    what's the expected workflow for problems that cannot be parsed?

    You can create a code skeleton for the problem with caide problem A, and then create in/out files manually. Checkout caide problem -h.

      Also, I get the following error when I parse the problem with its URL:

    Rev. 3   Проголосовать: нравится 0 Проголосовать: не нравится

    I created github issues for VSCode and Sublime Text, but I don't plan to work on them (at least until I see enough interest). Please note that most functionality is implemented in a command line executable, which means that:

    1. It should be easy to create plugins for extensible editors like VSCode, Sublime Text, vim, emacs etc by wrapping calls to that executable. (In case anyone wants to give it a try...)
    2. The value of such plugins is not so big because you can do everything from command line anyway. For example, I use the following Makefile, so I can generate submission code and run tests with a single make test-debug. I also use the following config for vim-fswitch to quickly switch between sample input/output files:
    nnoremap <silent> <leader>f :FSHere<CR>
    augroup vimrc
        autocmd BufEnter *.in  let b:fswitchdst = 'out' | let b:fswitchlocs = '.'
        autocmd BufEnter *.out let b:fswitchdst = 'in'  | let b:fswitchlocs = '.'
    augroup END

Awesome job, I wish I had known about this tool earlier.

I've noticed a bug where the inliner removes code which is only used inside static_assert's:

using int2 = int;                             // this line is removed in submission.cpp
static_assert(is_same<int2, int>::value, ""); // this line is kept, resulting in a compile error

    Thanks johannesk. I created a bug here.

    Note that there are two ways to work around bugs. You can mark a declaration with /// caide keep comment to always keep it, or you can mark a member of a class with /// caide concept comment to keep it as long as the class is used. Something like this may be an acceptable workaround:

    struct Types {
        /// caide concept
        using int2 = int;
        static_assert(is_same<int2, int>::value, "");
    };

      Thanks for the quick reply slycelote. Another inlining bug, this time with friend classes:

      template <typename T> struct A {}; // this is removed
      struct B { friend class A<int>; }; // the friend declaration is kept
      int main() { B b; } // only B is referenced
      

      (yes, I'm actually writing such code o.O)

      The workaround is perfectly fine for the time being, so it's not a big deal.

    Hi, I am using Competitive Companion in conjunction with Caide (VS extension). Normally this setup works very well, and thanks so much for maintaining the Caide tool.

    However, I recently faced an issue when parsing any problem from Facebook Hacker Cup. I am getting the following error on Caide side: Could not parse input JSON: Error in $: key "result" not found

    I am not sure if this is a problem on the Caide side or in the Competitive Companion, so I'll just report it in both threads.

      Replying here as well for visibility to slycelote:
      Competitive Companion 2.18.0 sets the input type on parsed FHC problems to "regex" and passes along a "pattern". Caide 2.5.0 doesn't support this input type, and although it is a breaking change I am going to let it stay because it improves the quality of the extracted data and because most tools already work with it (all except for Caide it seems).

      The regex input type is supposed to read input from the last modified file matching the given pattern. Example implementations can be found for C++ in JHelper here and for Java in CHelper here.

      I would contribute this myself if I knew my way around FP languages, but since I don't I hope you (slycelote) could add support for it.

          Are any of your tests failing? By default, only details of failed tests are displayed. You can use verbose_test_report option to display details for all tests. See docs here, that page is always up to date. And the video-tutorial here should still be relevant, there haven't been many changes since then.

    Kotlin is currently not supported. If you could port solution/test templates in this directory to Kotlin, it could increase the chances of it being included)
