Tools for Programming in MOOC Context Tools for Programming in MOOC Context M.Tech R&D Report Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering Department by Saket Kumar-133050047 under the guidance of Prof. Deepak B Phatak Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay Acknowledgement I wish to express my sincere thanks to Prof. Deepak B Phatak,Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institue of Tech- nology, Bombay, for such a wonderful guidance throughout the R&D dura- tion. I also thanks to all those who directly or indirectly have lent their helping hands during the R&D. Saket Kumar Roll No. - 133050047 Abstract A massive open online course (MOOC) is a free Web-based distance learning program that is designed for the participation of large numbers of geograph- ically dispersed students. A MOOC may be patterned on a college or university course or may be less structured. Although MOOCs don't always offer academic cred- its, they provide education that may enable certification, employment or further studies. In my R&D, I am looking here for a compiler (basicaly c & c++), which has simple IDE and easy to use for beginners. Also compiler should run on both windows and linux platform in course CS101X of MOOC. Chapter 1 Introduction In the CS101X, students learn basics of programming. Most of the students have no knowledge of programming and programming language. There were many programming languages which emerged from the first generation of computers. Many of them are not sufficient to bear the load of todays computing environment, but there are some which kept them- selves out from the crowd. C and C++ are one of them. C/C++ are powerful programming languages and every new programmer should have to aware of them because these two programming languages provides the base for other programming languages. Beside this, These programming language are widely used even by the proficient programmers to interact with hardware. Efficiency of any programmer and programming language is always some how depends on pro- gramming environment and compiler or ide being used at the time of pro- gramming. New programmers always finds difficulty in selection of c/c++ compiler or ide which provides them an user friendly programming environ- ment. so here our goal is to find a C,C++ compiler which has very simple IDE and where a beginner can easily understand the controls. As we know MOOC is mobile learning program, student do there codding at home and most of them uses Windows or Linux based OS, so compiler should work on Windows and Linux Both. 2 Chapter 2 Compilers for C & C++ I searched Some popular compilers on Internet and here I am giving a brief detail on some of them. Compiler OS license VC++ Windows Proprietary Cygwin Windows/Unix-based GPL Qt Creator/SDK Windows/Unix-based BSD-like Eclipse/CDT Windows/Unix-based Proprietary C++ Builder Windows/Unix-based/OS X,iOS Proprietary Clang Windows/Unix-based BSD-like Cygwin Windows/Unix-based Freeware 2.1 VC++ As of VC++ 2010 is starting to support some C++11 features. Has pretty decent code generation, a debugger quite a few people think is the best you can get, and an IDE that produces rather mixed reviews. Many who've used them consider older generations of the IDE (VC++5 and 6) better in at least some ways, but the compiler has improved so much since then that the older IDEs really aren't an option for most people (except to support ancient code) and also its not open source. 3 2.2 Cygwin This is also based on gcc, but instead of porting the compiler to Windows, they ported Linux to Windows, and run the compiler on the ported Linux. Obviously I'm exaggerating (a little) but not a whole lot { Cygwin is mostly to run Linux/Unix code on Windows with as few alterations as possible. The tools they ship fit that as well { it's doing its best to be a Unix-like environment that runs under the Windows kernel. It definitely would not be my first choice for any new development. 2.3 Qt Creator/SDK This is another packaging of gcc, but with an IDE. If you want to write code using Qt it might well be one's first choice. Otherwise, I'd probably avoid it { while it probably can work fine otherwise, it's written assuming Qt as the default. 2.4 Eclipse/CDT One can find this packaged with a copy of g++ as well. In earlier versions, it needed quite a bit of work on the configuration before one could even get it to compile correctly. If someone uses Eclipse for other purposes, getting it to do C++ is probably worthwhile. Otherwise, I'd personally avoid it. 2.5 C++ Builder In the Borland days, this was the biggest challenger to Microsoft's dominance. Embarcadero seems to be trying to get it back in the mainstream again. The emphasis here seems to be much more on the IDE, GUI toolkit, etc., than the compiler proper. The compiler itself seems to be somewhat behind gcc and/or VC++. The starter edition costs Rs 9000 and need to spend most of your money on an upgrade to the Professional edition. 4 2.6 Clang The most recently started of the major compilers, but really working at being one of the best. Has some of the best diagnostics of any compiler available. Targets LLVM, which gives it quite a variety of tools for run-time analysis and such. Its major corporate sponsor is Apple. On Windows, this a bit like buying a muscle car from a junk yard. With enough work, you may end up with the coolest car in town { but on Windows it's currently more a project than a tool. 2.7 MinGW STL's current package features gcc 4.7.0, which (at least arguably) has some- what better C++11 support than VC++. It includes quite a few ported Unix/Linux tools, but is basically a command line-only environment. If you want something like an IDE, you'll have to install/configure it separately. A few more to generally avoid: 1. Any version of VC++ before about 2008. Simply inferior implementa- tion of C++. 2. Any version of g++ before 4.x. Again, inferior implementation of C++. 3. djgpp: pretty much the worst of the worst. This really targets MS- DOS with a (custom) DOS extender. An ancient version of gcc rounds out the awfulness. 4. OpenWatcom: also primarily targets MS-DOS. It uses a DOS exten- der that's better than djgpp's, but that's pretty much damning with faint praise. The compiler isn't really even very close to conforming with C++98; C++11 updates strike me as unlikely to come soon (if ever). 5. Digital Mars: Walter Bright now works mostly on his own D lan- guage. Though a C++ compiler is still available, the C++ it compiles is fairly obsolete. 5 Chapter 3 Mingw So finally I found a new version of minGW that is MinGW Developer Studio, which is an open source and freeware compiler. Here is some detail about it: Key features • MingW Developer Studio is one of the integrated development (IDE) applications available on the Net. It uses the programming language C and C++ and this kind of software usually includes a text editor, a version management system a debugger and other tools as well. • MingW Developer Studios handling will not be difficult for those who are used to work with MS Visual C + +. Indeed, MingW Developer Studios design and functions are the same as the MicroSoft one. So, you will get familiar with at the first use. • since it has multiple purposes, MingW Developer Studio comes with various interfaces which users can switch from one to another according to the current task. It also includes project management, code folding, debugging tool, code help integration and more. System requirements • Operating System: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Win- dows 2000, Windows XP, Linux and FreeBSD. • Required drive space: 363 kb in Windows 6 Installation Download installation files from http://koti.mbnet.fi/vaultec/browser.php?f=./files/miscellaneous/mingwstudio. Windows version Setup MinGW Developer Studio If you got a self-extracting setup file , just run the executable. If you got a zip file , extract it to a directory (like c:nMinGWStudio) Tell MinGW Developer Studio where your MinGW compiler is. If you got the full version(Integrated MinGW compiler) you can skip this step. - Run MinGW Developer Studio. - Go to menu "Edit" and select "Options" - Select "Compiler" tab and enter or browse your MinGW directory. (This directory is MinGW root directory not MinGW bin directory like c:nMinGW not c:nMinGWnbin). Note that if you got a full version and you have installed MinGW Developer Studio before you may have to tell MinGW Developer Studio for your new MinGW path if you would like to use MinGW Compiler that comes with MinGW Developer Studio. Linux and FreeBSD version Unpack the package mingw-devstudio OS-yyy.tar.gz in a location that you would like to keep MinGW Studio. 7 Snapshot 8 References [1] WIKI, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compilers" [2] Stack Overflow, "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6632456/ how-do-i-install-both-mingw32-and-mingw64-on-linux-or-macos" [3] UBUNTU, "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=993293" [4] CPLUSPLUS, "http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/29836/ " [5] Installation, "https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/ InstallingMingwW64" 9.

  • DOS Virtualized in the Linux Kernel
    DOS Virtualized in the Linux Kernel Robert T. Johnson, III Abstract Due to the heavy dominance of Microsoft Windows® in the desktop market, some members of the software industry believe that new operating systems must be able to run Windows® applications to compete in the marketplace. However, running applications not native to the operating system generally causes their performance to degrade significantly. When the application and the operating system were written to run on the same machine architecture, all of the instructions in the application can still be directly executed under the new operating system. Some will only need to be interpreted differently to provide the required functionality. This paper investigates the feasibility and potential to speed up the performance of such applications by including the support needed to run them directly in the kernel. In order to avoid the impact to the kernel when these applications are not running, the needed support was built as a loadable kernel module. 1 Introduction New operating systems face significant challenges in gaining consumer acceptance in the desktop marketplace. One of the first realizations that must be made is that the majority of this market consists of non-technical users who are unlikely to either understand or have the desire to understand various technical details about why the new operating system is “better” than a competitor’s. This means that such details are extremely unlikely to sway a large amount of users towards the operating system by themselves. The incentive for a consumer to continue using their existing operating system or only upgrade to one that is backwards compatible is also very strong due to the importance of application software.

  • Appendix A: Compiler Porting Tools
    Appendix A: Compiler Porting Tools Vector Pascal is an open-source project. It aims to create a productive and efficient program development environment for SIMD programming. In order to validate the concepts it has been developed initially for the Intel family of processors running Linux and Microsoft Windows. However, it has been intended from the outset that the technology should be portable to other families of CPUs. This Appendix addresses some of the issues involved in porting the compiler to new systems. A.1 Dependencies The Vector Pascal compiler tool-set can be divided along two axes as shown in Figure A.l. 1. Tools can be divided into (a) those provided as part of the release and (b) those provided as part of the operating environment. (a) These are mainly written in Java, the exceptions being a small run-time library in C, a Pascal System unit and several machine descriptions. (b) These are all available as standard under Linux, and Windows versions are freely downloadable from the web. 2. Tools can further be divided into (a) those required for program prepara­ tion and documentation, (b) those for code translation tools and (c) those for code generator preparation. (a) The program preparation tools are the VIPER IDE described in Chapter 16, along with the standard IM_EX document preparation system, DVI viewers and the TTH tool to prepare web-enabled versions of Vector Pascal program descriptions. (b) The program translation tools are: i. The i l c g . p a s c a l Java package which contains the Pascal compiler itself and classes to support Pascal-type declarations.

  • Cygwin Information.Pages
    The Cygwin distribution Caia under Windows For those of you, who don’t want to install Linux on your computer, it is possible to install and use Cygwin. Cygwin emulates Linux and starts up with the bash terminal shell. This makes it possible to compile and link GNU sources in the same way as under Linux. You can use the same makefiles and it produces, of course, Windows executables. Some knowledge about Linux is necessary! For more information and downloads, please see: www.cygwin.com. What is Cygwin needed for? Well, for the players, referee and manager it actually doesn’t matter. They can be compiled and linked in the normal way: C source can be build with DJGPP or DEV C++, Pascal source with Freepascal. However, the caiaio must be created with Cygwin in order to let things work properly. Which version of Cygwin do I need? We have precompiled and linked our executables with cygwin1.dll file version 1005.25.0.0. That one was included in the distribution of 29 December 2007. Make sure you use an update of Cygwin which is the same or newer. How to install Caia? In exactly the same way as in the Linux distribution: • tar –xzf caia_<namegame>_cygwin.tar.gz • caia_install_<namegame>/install_game.sh <namegame> Differences The Cygwin distribution is almost the same as the Linux distribution. The differences are: • The executables are compiled and linked for Windows. • The names of the executables need to have .exe as a suffix • The time measurements are less accurate under Cygwin. Whereas under Linux time is measured in microseconds, under Cygwin it is accurate up to 55 milliseconds.

  • Competition Environment
    Competition Environment Contents 1 General 2 2 Hardware 2 3 Linux 2 4 Windows 4 1 CEOI 2003, Germany Competition environment 1 General Please first check the general information about the competition programming environment from the Competition Rules. The main environment for the contest is Linux. Linux is available as a programming environment (specifications below) and also the servers and evaluation (grading) runs on Linux. However, we provide the contestants with dual-boot computers where you can program either in Linux or in Windows environment. The evaluation is based on source-code submission and the evaluation system compiles the sub- mitted source code. As a consequence, also the programs written in the Windows environment are re-compiled for evaluation in Linux (using the same compiler). This is something that all contes- tants using Windows must be aware of. For example, uninitialized variables may cause undefined behavior when executing for the evaluation. We favor fairly standard operating system installations, but we may modify the installations for hardware support and security fixes. The compilers used in the competition are GCC for C and C++ programs and Freepascal for Pascal programs. Generally, the installations are designed for the following main alternatives: 1. Pascal as the programming language, Freepascal compiler, Freepascal IDE or RHIDE IDE. 2. C/C++ as the programming language, GCC compiler, RHIDE IDE. 3. Editors (emacs, vim, ...), command-line compilation/debugging, a graphical front end ddd for debugging. Option 3 is targeted primarily for Linux, although it is possible to use Windows Edit and command- line compilation. 2 Hardware The competition computers have Pentium III/650 MHz or better processor, 128 MB or more RAM, a standard UK keyboard, a mouse, and a color screen.
