Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Program now displays a prompt character ($ ) before accepting input.
    • After entering a command, the program outputs an error message in the format: <input>: command not found.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added necessary support for string handling to prevent potential issues with input processing.
  • Chores

    • Significantly expanded and improved .gitignore files to better exclude generated, temporary, and environment-specific files across multiple platforms and tools.

…ates; include necessary entries for various OS and IDEs. Update main.cpp files to include <string> header for string operations.

Walkthrough

The updates primarily add the #include <string> directive to several C++ source files to support usage of std::string. Additionally, multiple .gitignore files are replaced or expanded with comprehensive, multi-platform ignore patterns, covering a wide range of build artifacts, IDE files, and system-specific files. Minor code changes include uncommenting a prompt output and adding an error message in response to user input.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
compiled_starters/cpp/.gitignore
solutions/cpp/01-oo8/code/.gitignore
starter_templates/cpp/code/.gitignore
Replaced minimal .gitignore files with extensive, categorized ignore lists covering multiple platforms, IDEs, build systems, version control systems, and language/tool-specific artifacts. Removed build/ ignore, added many new patterns.
compiled_starters/cpp/src/main.cpp
solutions/cpp/01-oo8/code/src/main.cpp
solutions/cpp/02-cz2/code/src/main.cpp
starter_templates/cpp/code/src/main.cpp
Added #include <string> to enable usage of std::string. No other logic or control flow changes.
solutions/cpp/01-oo8/diff/src/main.cpp.diff Added #include <string>. Uncommented the prompt output (std::cout << "$ ";).
solutions/cpp/02-cz2/diff/src/main.cpp.diff Added #include <string>. After reading input, now prints an error message: <input>: command not found.

Poem

A whisk of code, a string anew,
With .gitignore lists that grew and grew!
Prompts now show, and errors chime,
No build debris—just code sublime.
From bunny paws, this patch is done—
Hop along, let's have some fun! 🐇✨

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.

Support

Need help? Create a ticket on our support page for assistance with any issues or questions.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

13-13: Use stderr for error messages
Error messages are conventionally sent to std::cerr rather than std::cout. Consider replacing:

std::cout << input << ": command not found" << std::endl;

with:

std::cerr << input << ": command not found" << std::endl;

951-953: Consider adding root-level build/ directory
Many C++ projects generate a root-level build/ directory (e.g., out-of-source builds). You may want to include:

build/

to ignore this common directory.

951-953: Suggest ignoring root-level build/ directory
To accommodate out-of-source builds, consider adding:

build/

at the top level.

2-2: Add missing header
The new usage of std::string and std::getline requires including the <string> header to ensure proper compilation.

solutions/cpp/01-oo8/code/src/main.cpp (1)

2-2: Include for std::string usage
Adding <string> ensures that std::string and related functions are available.

starter_templates/cpp/code/src/main.cpp (1)

2-2: Add header
The template now uses std::string and std::getline, so <string> is required for compilation.

starter_templates/cpp/code/.gitignore (1)

1-1047: Replace minimal .gitignore with comprehensive C++ patterns
This new .gitignore covers multi-platform OS artifacts, IDE files, build systems (Gradle, CMake), version control metadata, and language-specific binaries for C and C++. The consistency with other C++ templates improves repository hygiene.

compiled_starters/cpp/.gitignore (1)

1-1047: Comprehensive .gitignore overhaul for C++
This .gitignore now uniformly handles OS caches, IDE configs, Gradle/CMake artifacts, version control dirs, and C/C++ compiled outputs. The detailed patterns align with best practices for cross-platform C++ development.

compiled_starters/cpp/src/main.cpp (1)

2-2: Good addition of the string header.

Adding #include <string> is necessary since the code uses std::string for the input variable. This follows good C++ practice by explicitly including headers for the types being used.

solutions/cpp/01-oo8/diff/src/main.cpp.diff (2)

3-3: Good addition of the string header.

Adding #include <string> is necessary since the code uses std::string for the input variable. This follows good C++ practice by explicitly including headers for the types being used.


10-12: Properly enabling the prompt.

Uncommenting the prompt line as instructed by the comment "Uncomment this block to pass the first stage". This fulfills the intention expressed in the original code comment.

solutions/cpp/02-cz2/diff/src/main.cpp.diff (2)

3-3: Good addition of the string header.

Adding #include <string> is necessary since the code uses std::string for the input variable. This follows good C++ practice by explicitly including headers for the types being used.


14-14: Good implementation of the error message.

This line correctly outputs an error message when an unrecognized command is entered, improving user feedback.

solutions/cpp/01-oo8/code/.gitignore (1)

1-1047: Excellent comprehensive .gitignore update.

The extensive update to the .gitignore file provides comprehensive coverage for multiple platforms, IDEs, build systems, and languages. This is a significant improvement that will help keep the repository clean regardless of the development environment being used.

The new file properly covers:

  • OS-specific files (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android)
  • IDE/editor files (Visual Studio, JetBrains, Eclipse, VS Code, etc.)
  • Build artifacts for C and C++ projects
  • Various build systems (CMake, Gradle)

This standardization will prevent unnecessary files from being committed to the repository.
