RunningDict

This project is fast translator for programmers. It is capable of dissasembling camelCases, underscore_case and CThisIsClass names. It internaly uses dictd-like dictionaries.

Binary files

There are two options how to use this. Executable from command line, or library with C interface.

Executable

Executable has the name runningDict(.exe). For implementation see main.cpp.

Command line arguments reference:

-d [file] - dictionary file
-D [file] - dictionary with higher priority, gets also partial words
-j[num] - number of threads, defaults to number of cores
-h --help - prints help
--in - after this command all others are handled like input arguments

Usage exaple:

./runMe -j8 -d freedict-deu-eng.dict -D test.dict Ihre deutsch ist CStrukturKeine

Library

libRunningDict.so or libRunningDict64.dll or libRunningDict32.dll. For interface see LibInterface.h file. Library has advantage of needing to load dictionary only once and then only processing new searches. Command line application has to load dictionaries every time it is executed.

For example response to "CKeineKatz ihre" can match following JSON object:

{
    "results": [
        {
            "word": "keine"
            "score": 0,
            "matches": [
                ["keine", "neither; no; none"]
            ],
        },
        {
            "word": "katz"
            "score": 1,
            "matches": [
                ["latz", "bib"],
                ["katze", "cat; tabby"],
                ["satz", "clause; dart; jerk; phrase; record; sentence; set"],
                ["kauz", "codger; fogey"]
            ],
        },
        {
            "word": "ihre"
            "score": 0,
            "matches": [
                ["ihre", "her; hers; their; theirs"],
                ["ihre", "your"]
            ],
        }
    ],
    "speed": 0.018015
}

Note the type in Katze word. Library will return four possible translations and they can be presented to user and he can then better understand which one is correct.

Gui executable

Standalone application (runningDictGui) which is designed to translate clipboard content on the fly. Has an option to quickly add new translation to custom dictionary and quickly toogle used dictionaries. Also by double click, you can change the translation of the word.

Configuration is stored in $HOME/.config/runningdict on linux and $APPDATA/runndingdict on windows.

RunningDict is trying to find all dictionaries in its install folder (Program Files or /usr/share/). You can add additional dictionaries by editing json config file and adding absolute path into additionalSearchDirs array.

Build

Prerequisites for build

CMake 3.2 and newer
C++14 capable compiler
Doxygen for docs (Graphviz for more graphs in docs, PlantUML for more UML diagrams, PlantUML needs java)
Python3 for running tests
clang-tools for static analysis and formating
Gtkmm3 for standalone gui application
git for downloading dependencies

Prerequisites on Linux

Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S cmake g++ graphviz git clang clang-tools-extra cppcheck java-runtime-common extra/gtkmm3
- download plantuml.jar and have it somewhere where PATH points to
Ubuntu 16.04: sudo apt-get install cmake g++ graphviz plantuml git clang clang-tidy clang-format libgtkmm-3.0-dev

Prerequisites on Windows

Install msys2 and install these packages:
- Minimal: pacman -S cmake g++ git mingw-w64-x86_64-gtkmm3
- Additional software pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-clang mingw-w64-x86_64-clang-tools-extra mingw-w64-x86_64-clang-analyzer doxygen
- For graphs in documentation install Graphviz (to c:\Program Files\Graphviz, so scripts can find it) and add its bin subdirectory to PATH, install java (have it on PATH), download PlantUML jar file and have it on PATH.

CMake options

option	description
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="clang++"	change compiler to clang
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release	change build type to Release
-DVERSION_TYPE=stable	change version type to stable
-DVERSION_HOST=build	change build machine name
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/"	change install location
-DUSE_BOOST_FILESYSTEM=FALSE	whether to use boost::filesystem instead of the experimental filesystem

Build targets

Target	Description
all	build all
install	install to install prefix location
package	generates packages (DEB, RPM, MSI, etc.)
gui-run run	install and run gui standalone gui application
gdb	runs gdb on gui app
doc	produce doxygen documentation
unit	run unit tests only
check	run integration and unit tests
checkVerbose	run integration and unit tests with full output
tidy	run static analysis
cppcheck	run static analysis

Build on linux

Standard Makefiles:

mkdir build ; cd build
cmake ..
make -j8 install

Ninja build witch clang, build all and install it to dist folder, also build docs which will be in [build_dir]/doc/doc/index.html:

mkdir build ; cd build
cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="clang++" ..
ninja all doc install

There are basic tests which can be exuted by building check target.

mkdir build ; cd build
cmake ..
make check

If you want to install the software, do this:

mkdir build ; cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DVERSION_HOST=linux -DVERSION_TYPE=stable ..
sudo make install

Build on windows

note on call graphs and rest: Since there is no package in MSYS2, getting more graphs to work could be challenging.

Build on windows using MSYS2 + ninja

On windows prefer Ninja since it is MUCH faster than make.

With gcc build and install (default is build/dist):

mkdir build ; cd build
cmake -GNinja ..
ninja install

With clang++, build executable, doxygen documentation and install:

mkdir build ; cd build
cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="clang++" ..
ninja all doc install

Notes for sublime text: You want to have c:/runLinux32.bat with this:

set MSYSTEM=MINGW32
C:\msys64\usr\bin\bash.exe --login -c "cd - ; %*"

* and edit makebuildrun.sh and ninjabuildrun.sh to execute final executable

Build on Windows using Microsoft Visual Studio 14

First you can edit CMakeLists.txt and set new project name. Just go to the folder with the project and create new directory and create project files with this:

mkdir buildmsvc
cd buildmsvc
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" ..

and you can now open a .sln file with Visual Studio. You need to RMB click on executable target and Set as StartUp project. To really see the console window you want to do Start without debugging, when run in debug mode, console widow is closed too fast.

Note: as of 03/2016 Visual studio has a bug which prevents this project being built.

Release

Increase version in master CMakeLists.txt.
Build configuration
- Windows: cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DUSE_BOOST_FILESYSTEM=TRUE -DVERSION_HOST=win7 -DVERSION_TYPE=stable ..
- Linux: cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DVERSION_HOST=linux -DVERSION_TYPE=stable ..
ninja check
ninja package
packages are in out directory inside of the build folder.
commit changes
create git tag
push changes and tag to server

Sublime text

In sublime project file there are defined two build systems - one for make and second for ninja. For build output higlighting you need package cppinabox. And all builds contains running of tests. :)

If you get "Error loading syntax file" during build, that means, you do not have cppinabox installed and you either need to install it, or remove syntax from build system in sublime-project file.
