My Own "Parallel Parser" for "Paradox Game Data" (clausewitz engine or jomini engine)
Load Data Parallel From Paradox Game Data File ( especially "save game" )and Create, Read, Update, Delete Data, and Save Data to File.
Loading Data Parallel From Paradox Game Data File(50MB) take 550 ~ 850 ms in my computer.(Intel i7 8th gen cpu - 4 core 8 thread,, ssd)
now, Only ANSI is Supported.
Following is supported Data File Example.
#line comment
EU4Game
Countries = {
-1 = {
test = 1 test2 = { 3 4 5 6 7 }
}
}
And Principle of Loading Data From File Parallel (Simply)
Lexing(Scanning) : split data by '\n', Scanning Parallel, Merge Tokens.
Parsing : split data by (including) '{', '}', val in var = val, val in val, Parsing(make tree) Parallel and Merge Trees.
(in 'x = 1', 'x' is var, '1' is val)
(in '2 3 4 5', '2' is val, '3' is val, '4' is val, '5' is val.
I regarded var of '2' as empty string.)
(so, 'x = 1' and '2' are presented using same C++ Class,
if var is empty string, then no print var and '='), I named this type as 'ItemType'')
(and '-1 = { }', ' { } ' is form of var = { }, '{ }' `s var is regarded as empty string.)
( I named this type as 'UserType' )
(and 'UserType' also used to include total data.)
(Code Example Using This Parser
UserType global;
// here UserType is used for Total Data,
// UserType has std::vector of 'ItemType'
// and has std::vector of 'UserType*'
LoadData::LoadDataFromFile("input.eu4", global, 0, 0); // 0 means use all cpu cores. )
Parallel Parsing - It use 'Virtual Node', and Line comments start from '#',
I used Virtual Node`s Name as '#'
For example, x = 1 x = { 2 3 4 5 }
=> x = 1 x = { 2 // if here split.
3 4 5 }
=> (1st tree) x = 1 x = { 2 }
(2nd tree) # = { 3 4 5 }
Merge in implementation, program stored tree`s split position.
so, using split position of 1st tree and '#' (virtual node) of 2nd tree
=> it can be to merge 1st tree and 2nd tree.
In Implementation, This Parser uses n thread in Loading Data From File.
and In this Implementation, Line Comments are disappeared, when Load Data From File.
