i18nglish.c

Or AKA i7h.c.
This is a transplant of RimoChan/i7h, to support c language.
Please check the README of the original repository to get more details about i18nglish.

Anyway, it's just an English joke program.

What's getting better

• Faster, of course. It's a C program not a Python script.
• Yeah... Anyway, it's built with C.

I'm learning C language, so it's a great way to practice language and learn how to build CI workflow.
I have also learned a lot of stuff about memory manage, really thanks to this project.

This project really added a lot of useful peripheral components, like CI, code style, medium makefile, Windows and Linux build.

A great gift for me.

Using the command line

Build

For linux, goto source/ folder, and run make.
The executable file will named i18nglish.out. At now, the compiler is clang.

But for Microsoft Windows, I don't have too many ideas. I don't want to use MSVC because the complier's flags are very different.
So now, my choice is MinGW-w64(MSYS2) in Windows OS. Goto MSYS2 bash and run make i18nglish.exe to build the .exe file.
And... this output file looked like it can't run in other systems without MSYS2, sorry.

If need to compile a release version, run make with the argument releaseBuild=1.

In addition, GitHub Workflow and Release may already have the latest executable artifact that can be download(for Windows/Linux).

How to use

um... In simplest case, it looked like...

echo "hello world" | ./i18nglish stdin
# output: h3o w3d

It also support args(arguments) and file mode.
Run it with --help to get all flags

Precautions

Only use for single 8-bit char type characters, don't do this:

echo "这种字符串 或者仅仅只是 —" | ./i18nglish stdin

If it happened, I wouldn't care of them.
The error looked like: �16�
This program just an English joke, so it's should be fine.
I don't want to adapt to UTF-8 _(:з」∠)_

Using in other project

Be sure to check out the #Stream parser, it's a new and better interface.
This part is used to process an existing string

All the functions/defines you need are in source/i7h/i7h_processor.*

The main process function is i7hParserString(), this is its prototype:

int i7hParserString(struct I7hDataStruct i7h_D[restrict], const char src_string[]);

And the structure I7hDataStruct, it's like a buffer of processor

When the i7hParserString() is called, it'll auto resize the buffer in structure.
The caller doesn't need to free the buffer in every loop. But must:
call i7hInitStructure() at the START of the loop
call i7hFreeStructure() at the END of the loop to free them

See usage details in source/main.c

And... it won't delete punctuation with itself

Stream parser

i7hParserStream() is a new interface of this project.
It gets rid from some crappy frameworks. here's some good thing about it:

• Perfect punctuation detect
• Recognize word more correctly
• Cleaner code!
• Don't need create data structure manually
• Direct processing streams, like stdin/stdout or a file handle

Use it just like this:

i7hParserStream(stdin, stdout); // only needed one line

Mode stdin and file are using this interface

Todo List

Todo list is for myself, not for showing off. The history todo only needs stored in git history.

• NULL

Code style

Variable names reference Google Style Guide C++(or just want to be).
Most block styles are from Linux kernel.

The clang-format config has already been added to the repo, but it may still be incomplete.

Just put something at last
