In here, other library-style functionality may be placed. Library in this case means that code in here should support a specific use case and have benefits over a plain Typescript implementation. In particular, these languages should be supported:
- C++
The interface to these code parts is done using node's child processes. On a higher level, textual or binary input for a foreign language algorithm is passed to a sub-process via standard input (stdin) and the result is read from standard output (stdout). This can be done efficiently (i.e. in-memory) using (Unix) pipes. The data exchange format is either JSON or CSV depending on the structure of the data.
Generally, the individual submodules may need to be updated:
# initialize the submodules
git submodule init
# update the submodules; this might be repeated if changes are made to the required version
git submodule update --init --recursive
# this should do the same as the above
git pull --recurse-submodules
# to get an individual package up to date, change into the root of the git submodule and simply invoke
cd libraries/something/
git pull
# afterward, you probably want to change into the original git repository and commit the change to the parent repository
cd ../../
git add libraries/something/
git commitFirst, dependencies need to be installed (the example is for Ubuntu 20.04):
sudo apt install g++ make cmakeThen, the project can be compiled:
cd libraries/praktikumcf2020/code
sh run_compiler.sh
cd ../../../
