Installing

Windows

• install any Python 3.5+ version along with pip and add it to PATH
• install MinGW compiler and add it to PATH
• install cmake and Visual Studio with Clang compiler and add it to PATH
• with vscode open press [ctrl+shift+p]
  • print "Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)" and press [enter], copy to the opened file all strings from .vscode/keybindings.json
• with your terminal open as administrator run this commands:
  • python -m pip install --upgrade pip
  • pip install pyinstaller

Linux

• with vscode open press [ctrl+shift+p]
  • print "Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)" and press [enter], copy to the opened file all strings from .vscode/keybindings.json
• with your terminal open
  • install package named "pyinstaller" through python 3 pip (for example in ArchLinux: "sudo pip install pyinstaller", in Ubuntu: "sudo apt install python3-pip; sudo pip3 install pyinstaller")

Keybindings

• [f2] - show build tasks
• [f3] - show run tasks
• [numpad2] - focus on the integrated terminal
• [numpad8] - focus on the code area

important: to use numpad2 and numpad8 disable num lock

Features

• Compile
  • clang (placed in ./cdist)
  • clang with cmake
  • python in one .exe (via pyinstaller, placed in ./pydist)
• Run
  • compiled clang
  • python code (through the interpreter)
• Test
  • clang
  • python code

How to use the test site?

• Сreate test file with name <YourFileBasename>.test
  • for example: code.c --> code.c.test, where code.c.test is a file with tests for code.c
• On each new line, write inputs without spaces, separating them ";" (for example: if the program accepts 3 numbers separated by spaces in one input, let these numbers be 1, 2 and 3, and the result should be 5, then you need to write "1 2 3 | 5")
  • important: after the last input don't put ";", instead ";" put "|" and write the expected outputs without spaces, separating them ";", after last output don't put ";"
  • another example for program, which accepts 3 names in 3 inputs and prints a greeting for them, you need to write in .test file this string "Pavel;Linus;Richard | Hello, Pavel, Linus, Richard!"
• if you still have questions, then see the files:
  • ./test/code.c and ./test/code.c.test
  • ./test/B.py and ./test/B.py.test
