CIS 607: The Unix, C, and C++ Grad Students Should Know

Projects

IMPORTANT: all of the prompts come from a previous term. Ignore the due dates in those prompts and go by the website.

Project 1: Learning Unix

• Project 1A: vi practice (do this after Lecture 1)
• Project 1B: unix scripts (do this after Lecture 1)
• Project 1C: makefile (do this after Lecture 3)
• Proj1C.tar

Project 2: C/C++ primer

• Project 2A: worksheet on memory/pointers/arrays (do this after Lecture 1)
• Project 2B: file I/O (do this after Lecture 3)
• binary file to read
• correct output
• grading script
• Project 2C: structs (do this after Lecture 4)
• my_struct.h
• my_struct.c
• prototypes.h
• driver_2C.c
• Makefile
• driver_output
• grader.sh
• Project 2D: subtype/supertype (do this after Lecture 6)
• driver_2D.c
• driver_output
• Makefile
• grader.sh

Project 3: Large System + Object Oriented Programming

• Project 3A: I/O with images (do this after Lecture 4)
• C file with some empty functions
• Input image as PNM (what you will read with your program) and PNG (what you can look at easily in a browser)
• Output image as PNM (what you will produce with your program) and PNG (what you can look at easily in a browser)
• The grader script we will use
• Project 3B: Move to C++, more functions (do this after Lecture 5)
• the main program that calls your functions
• functions.h
• Makefile
• The grader script we will use
• input in PNM, output in PNM, and output in PNG
• If you want to test everything before Blend (through img7), then here is the output: PNM and PNG
• img.pnm, img2.pnm, img3.pnm, img4.pnm, img5.pnm, img6.pnm, img7.pnm (img7 is a repeat of no_blend)
• Note that none of the files above should be modified ... you need to adapt to their interface, not vice-versa.
• ... of course, you may want to modify them for testing purposes, like changing the main program to only do some filters. Just make sure to switch it back before you submit...
• Project 3C: object-oriented approach (do this after Lecture 7)
• the main program that calls your functions
• Makefile
• The grader script we will use
• The image input and output should be the same as 3B.
• Project 3D: C++ file I/O (do this after Lecture 7)
• the main program that calls your functions
• Makefile
• The grader script we will use
• The image input and output should be the same as 3B.
• Project 3E: demand-driven execution (do this after Lecture 8)
• the main program that calls your functions
• Makefile
• example of execution for simple pipeline
• The grader script we will use
• Discussion of circular dependencies between classes which occurs with this project.
• Project 3F: logging and exceptions (do this after Lecture 8)
• the main program that calls your functions
• Makefile
• logging.h: interface for your logging module (you write the methods)
• logger: the output of my logging instrumentation. You don't have to match exactly, but I think it is a good idea to match exactly anyway ... it helps find subtle bugs.
• Project 3G: more filters (do this after Lecture 9)
• IMPORTANT: There is no submission for this project. It will be graded as 3H is graded.
• the main program that calls your functions
• Makefile
• output in PNG
• proj3G_checksum: checksum for 3G
• tests for each filter
• Project 3H: pass the regression tests (do this after Lecture 10)
• tarball with everything you need.
• video of getting started with 3H.

Project 4: Debugging and Profiling

• Project 4A: debugger practice
• Here are the programs to debug.
• Here are worksheets to fill out in PDF and MS Word forms.
• Project 4B: memory error and leak free (do this after Lecture 10)
