Exinc

Tool to expand C++ includes for competitive programmers.

Installation

From pip:

$ pip install exinc

From source:

$ pip install .

Configuration

Run the tool one first time for it to create a default configuration.

$ exinc --help

Now you'll find a configuration file in /home/$USER/.exinc that you can edit.

Usage

First, you have to properly place the files you want to include. You should either:

1. Put them in the same folder of your to-be-compiled source code;
2. Or put them somewhere, and add such path to DEFAULT_PATHS in the .exinc configuration file.

Notice that when you go with (2), you also have to make sure you add this path to other places of interest. For instance, when using vscode, you also want to make sure IntelliSense will recognize these headers.

Now, you can write C++-based solutions and use your newly available includes:

// MyIncludedCode.cpp
int included_function() {
  return 42;
}

// solution.cpp
#include "MyIncludedCode.cpp"
#include <bits/stdc++.h>

int32_t main() {
  cout << included_function() << endl;
  // Code should compile, and print 42.
}

Ultimately, this code will be expanded by Exinc to:

// solution.pre.cpp
int included_function() {
  return 42;
}
#include <bits/stdc++.h>

int32_t main() {
  cout << included_function() << endl;
  // Code should compile, and print 42.
}
