* enables execution of external programs
** second parameter is passed to stdin
** stdout is captured and returned
** based on booost::process
* this was implemented to enable access to external content preprocessors such as markdown
|
|
* wraps result node construction and appends it to root node on destruction
* offers a simpler interface for common node construction patterns
* simplifies result node construction in all external function implementations
** most noticeable in FunctionReadDirectory
* expanded FunctionReadDirectory result nodes by name, extension, and full-path nodes
|
|
* test case base template contains the basic test case markup
** it was mostly created to include include-path resolution into the test cases
* improved transformer helper template by separating the external function call into its own variable
|
|
* xalan / xerces offers the possibility of implementing custom entity resolvers which are called upon by "<xsl:include..."
** such a custom resolver was implemented to resolve include path entities
* this is a much better way to support include paths than offering a custom external "resolve-include" function
* as entity paths are expanded before they are passed to the entity resolver, a special "[path]" syntax simmilar to "#include <path>" had to be implemented
|
|
* resolves paths provided as strings against include paths provided through the newly created "--include" argument of the test executable
* this was implemented to enable central collections of XSLT libraries simmilar to how there are C headers in "/usr/include"
|
|
* FunctionBase::argument_tuple is a std::tuple specialization type specialized on the argument types passed inside the variadic template argument of FunctionBase
* added tuple Mapper and XObjectValue helper namespaces containing recursive tuple construction and XObjectPtr value extraction logic
* changed all external function implementations accordingly
* this change was implemented to uniformly support different external function argument types than std::string
|
|
* external functions may expect arguments with a type different from boost::filesystem::path so they are only provided raw string values
* moved xalan string conversion logic into separate compilation unit
|
|
* "InputXSLT:transform" expects two input arguments and executes the given transformation into the given target file
** this function respresents a important step in the direction of making it possible to write an actual static site generator on top of InputXSLT using XSLT
* added basic "transform" test case
* updated README.md to include this new function
|
|
* fixed compiler flag variable (previous content was deleted)
|
|
* removes responsibility for clearing parameters from the generate member methods
* abstracts parameter escaping and setting and handles map conversion
* marked actual generate member method as private and added StylesheetParameterGuard reference argument
** "frontend" generate member methods instantiate a StylesheetParameterGuard instance and pass it to the actual generate method
** this enables central default parameter definition while offering the possibility for custom parameters
|
|
* the directories below "./test" contain test cases
** "transformation.xsl" and the expected result as "reference.xml"
** tests are performed by "check.sh"
*** returns diff on error
* this system enables simple verification of external function results
** way simpler than C++ unit tests would be in this scenario
* expanded cmake instructions to automatically execute the test cases
* old example transformation was removed
|
|
* selectively testing document construction in plain C++ code has turned out to be more work than worth it
** i.e. removed test cases and GTest dependency
* added boost::program_options based frontent to InputXSLT
** example command: "./test --transformation ../dummy/transform.xsl --target out.xml"
** the plan is to use a simple shell script that generated test transformations and compares the output to reference files
|
|
* this was needed to share object files between the newly separated test-case and example target executables
* allows for easy development of multiple "frontends" to the same core functionality
|
|
* ... as a test of how well we are able to test DOM structures
* required change of constructDocument visibility
|
|
* DomDocumentCache::item class now is _finalized_ by default and doesn't perform document instantiation, just lifetime management
** xercesc::DOMDocument is instantiated inside the external function implementations and committed to the document cache for conversion to a xalan document
* added mutex with scoped lock to prevent concurrent write access to the std::unordered_map contained withing DomDocumentCache
* functionality of the _get_ member method was split into _get_ and _create_
** added typedef for std::pair specialization type "optional_item" that functions as the return value of _create_ and _get_
* "locator->getSystemId()" was leaking memory as xerces doesn't manage the lifetime of the returned heap-allocated char array
** analog to XMLCh* strings
** transformed XercesStringGuard into template class to be instantiated on either XMLCh or char
|
|
* up until now all external functions were locally installed to a specific XalanTransformer instance contained within a TransformationGuard instance
** this had to change as I planned to add a "execute-transformation" function based on TransformationGuard which would have led to recursive self-instantiation
** global external functions have to be thread-safe
* as global external function can not be provided with a reference to a transformation-specific FilesystemFacade instance, the working path is now determined using xalan::Locator
** currently using pointer arithmetics on XMLCh* to remove the "file://" prefix of the URI returned by locator->getSystemId(), may be unsafe
* added compilation unit for PlattformGuard as it now contains function installation in addition to plattform lifetime management
|
|
* the plan to return XML-nodes from each external function requires a better way to manage the lifetime of many xerces DOM document instances and their support class instances
** this is why DomDocumentCache and DomDocumentCache::item were implemented
** based on std::map so we can easily access the result of old function calls
* changed external read-directory function to return the children of the document node instead of the document node itself
** removes unnecessary cruft in function calls
** will make returning status codes alongside the function result more pleasing to the eye
* updated test transformation to reflect new features
|
|
* xercesc requires XMLCh* strings to be hand-allocated and released using the XMLString class
* XercesStringGuard works as a scope-guard for XMLCh* string lifetime and greatly simplifies xerces DOM construction
|
|
* contains a single, compiled transformation as specified by its construction argument
* uses the transformation's location as the FilesystemContext
* allows generation of output documents using _generate_ member method
|
|
* Wrapped xerces DOM and support class instances in now DomDocumentGuard scope-guard class
* FunctionReadDirectory class contains interal std::stack instance to store DomDocumentGuard instances
** wrapped in std::shared_ptr as FunctionReadDirectory is internally cloned by xalan...
** this is needed as the DOM has to preserved longer than the external function execution scope
* Sadly XMLCh xerces strings have to be manually released
** added appropriate xercesc::XMLString::release calls
* xalan::XercesDOMWrapperParsedSource does not mirror a given xerces DOM but convert it on instantiation
** this is why there is a dedicated finalize member method in InputXSLT::DomDocumentGuard
* In short: I do not like the amount of trickery needed to simply prevent memory leaks in this context
** there sadly doesn't seem to be a substantially easier way to return arbitrary DOM trees from a external function
|
|
* _read-directory_ lists all files in a given directory
** currently text-only output, xml planned
* improved FilesystemContext path resolution (relative path is fully resolved by boost::filesystem)
|
|
* this class provides methods for resolving paths relative to the contained base path
* other filesystem interaction methods will also be implemented in this class
** for instance directory traversal
|
|
* while plain read access on files is doesn't require boost::filesystem it will greatly simplify the implementation of external directory traversal functions
* it also improves the portability of relative path construction
|
|
* there is no reason for performing system-calls instead of using the features offered by the standard library in this situation
|
|
* one expects a read-file function to work relative to the directory the transformation is located and not to the executable's location
** from the perspective of the user the transformation is the application, not the actual executable
* removed PlattformGuard struct from TransformerGuard (now TransformerFacade)
* TransformerFacade is instatiated with the appropriate relative working path
** i.e. it will have to be instantiated for every directory containing one or more transformations
|
|
* InputXSLT::PlattformGuard handles xerces and xalan construction and lifetime
* InputXSLT::TransformerGuard instantiates PlattformGuard, configurates external functions
** offers execute method for "executing" a XSL tranformation with empty input
|
|
* .. in the face of the planned development of usable external functions using the current proof-of-concept coding
* replaced usage of std::shared_ptr in FunctionReadXmlFile class with explicit implementation of default and copy constructor
* separated implementation and interfaces
|
|
* command "read-xml-file" reads a XML file and allows it to be transformed by the calling XSLT
* this will allow workflows like the following:
** a tranformation reads all the markdown files in a directory
** these markdown files are converted to a xml representation by a external function calling a appropriate C++ markdown parser
** the XML representation of each markdown file is converted to XHTML inside the XSL transformation
** ... and embedded into the output XHTML document
** => all inside a single XSL tranformation
*** i.e. it is provided with only a empty dummy XML input file and fetches the actual input by itself
* as all current code contained within this repository this is just a quick and dirty proof-of-concept and not in any way good code
|
|
* changed relative paths of input files to accomodate builds inside a separate directory
