Welcome! This is the place to get going with Diffingo :)
See diffingo.pdf.
We have tested building with GCC 4.8. This project brings most of its dependencies with it, except for the following:
- cmake
- FLEX
- BISON
- BOOST libraries (v1.40+): program_options, filesystem, and system
This project uses cmake as its build system.
To set up building inside the source directory, run ./create_eclipse_project.sh in the project root.
To set up an external build directory (untested), create a new directory elsewhere and execute cmake [path to project root].
To build the project, run make.
During the first build, you will encounter errors at link time.
This is because auto-generated files (for the language parser) were not yet added to the make files by cmake.
To fix it, simply rerun cmake (as above) and make again.
Building generates a Diffingo executable in the src directory of the build directory (or source directory for in-source builds).
To view a list of command options, run ./Diffingo_exec --help.
For example, to generate the Memcached parser and serializer, run
./Diffingo_exec -f examples/memcached.dgo -o examples/out_test -n memcached.
To generate the optimized parser and serializer for its instantiation, run
./Diffingo_exec -f examples/memcached_inst.dgo -o examples/out_test -i -n memcached_compact.
Add command line option -p to generate parsers and serializers that use pointers into the input buffer.
