## About
Modules are external command-line executable programs and scripts that can be
loaded via PBot Factoids.

## Creating modules
Suppose you have the [Qalculate!](https://qalculate.github.io/) command-line
program and you want to provide a PBot command for it. You can create a _very_ simple
shell script containing:

    #!/bin/sh
    qalc "$*"

And let's call it `qalc.sh` and put it in PBot's `modules/` directory.

Then you can use the [`load`](Admin.md#load) command:

    !load qalc qalc.sh

Note: this is equivalent to creating a factoid and setting its `type` to `module`:

    !factadd global qalc qalc.sh
    !factset global qalc type module

Now you have a `qalc` calculator in PBot!

    <pragma-> !qalc 2 * 2
       <PBot> 2 * 2 = 4

## Documentation for built-in modules
PBot comes several command-line modules included. Here is the documentation for most of them.

### cc
Code compiler (and executor).  This command will compile and execute user-provided code in a number of languages, and then display the compiler and/or program output.

The program is executed within a gdb debugger instance, which may be interacted with via the [gdb macros described below](#Using_the_GDB_debugger) or with the `gdb("command")` function.

The compiler and program are executed inside a virtual machine.  After each run, the virtual machine is restored to a previous state.  No system calls have been disallowed.  You can write to and read from the filesystem, provided you do it in the same program.  The network cable has been unplugged.  You are free to write and test any code you like.  Have fun.

#### Usage

- `cc [-lang=<language>] [-info] [-paste] [-args "command-line arguments"] [-stdin "stdin input"] [compiler/language options] <code>`
- `cc <run|undo|show|paste|copy|replace|prepend|append|remove|s/// [and ...]>`
- `cc <diff>`
- `[nick] { <same as above without the cc in front> }`

You can pass any gcc compiler options.  By default, `-Wall -Wextra -std=c11 -pedantic` are passed unless an option is specified.

The `-paste` option will pretty-format and paste the code/output to a paste site and display the URL (useful to preserve newlines in output, and to refer to line-numbers).

The `-nomain` flag will prevent the code from being wrapped with a `main()` function. This is not necessary if you're explicitly defining a `main` function; it's only necessary if you don't want a `main` function at all.

The `-noheaders` flag will prevent any of the default headers from being added to the code. This is not necessary if you explicitly include any headers since doing so will override the default headers. This flag is only necessary if you want absolutely no headers whatsoever.

The `-stdin <stdin input>` option provides STDIN input (i.e., `scanf()`, `getc(stdin)`, etc.).

The `-args <command-line arguments>` option provides command-line arguments (i.e., `argv`).

The `run`, `undo`, `show`, `replace`, etc commands are part of [interactive-editing](#Interactive_Editing).

The `diff` command can be used to display the differences between the two most recent snippets.

#### Supported Languages
The `-lang` option can be used to specify an alternate compiler or language. Use `-lang=?` to list available languages.

    <pragma-> cc -lang=?
       <PBot> Language '?' is not supported. Supported languages are: bash, bc, bf, c11, c89, c99, clang, clang11, clang89, clang99, clang++, clisp, c++, freebasic, go, haskell, java, javascript, ksh, lua, perl, php, python, python3, qbasic, ruby, scheme, sh, tcl, tendra, zsh

Most, if not all, of these languages have an direct alias to invoke them.

    <pragma-> factshow perl
       <PBot> [global] perl: /call cc -lang=perl $args
    <pragma-> perl print 'hi'
       <PBot> hi

#### Default Language
The default language (e.g., without an explicit `-lang` or `-std` option) is C11 pedantic; which is `gcc -Wall -Wextra -std=c11 -pedantic`.

#### Disallowed system calls
None.  The network cable has been unplugged.  Other than that, anything goes.  Have fun.

#### Program termination with no output
If there is no output, information about the local variables and/or the last statement will be displayed.

    <pragma-> cc int x = 5, y = 16; x ^= y, y ^= x, x ^= y;
       <PBot> pragma-:  no output: x = 16; y = 5

<!-- -->

    <pragma-> cc #include <sys/utsname.h> struct utsname u; uname(&u);
       <PBot> pragma-:  no output: u = {sysname = "Linux", nodename = "compiler", release = "3.2.0-8-generic", version = "#15-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 11 13:57:44 UTC 2012", machine = "x86_64",  __domainname = "(none)"}

<!-- -->

    <pragma-> cc int a = 2, b = 3;  ++a + b;
       <PBot> pragma-:  no output: ++a + b = 6; a = 3; b = 3

<!-- -->

    <pragma-> cc sizeof (char)
       <PBot> pragma-:  no output: sizeof (char) = 1

<!-- -->

    <pragma-> cc 2 + 2
       <PBot> pragma-:  no output: 2 + 2 = 4

#### Abnormal program termination
If a signal is detected, the bot will display useful information.

    < pragma-> cc char *p = 0; *p = 1;
        <PBot> pragma-: Program received signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at statement: *p = 1; <local variables: p = 0x0>

<!-- -->

    <pragma-> cc void bang() { char *p = 0, s[] = "lol"; strcpy(p, s); }  bang();
       <PBot> pragma-: Program received signal 11 (SIGSEGV) in bang () at statement: strcpy(p, s); <local variables: p = 0x0, s = "lol">

<!-- -->

    <pragma-> cc int a = 2 / 0;
       <PBot> pragma-: [In function 'main': warning: division by zero] Program received signal 8 (SIGFPE) at statement: int a = 2 / 0;

#### C and C++ Functionality
#### Using the preprocessor

##### Default #includes
These are the default includes for C11.  To get the most up-to-date list of #includes, use the `cc paste` command.

    #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 9001
    #define __USE_XOPEN
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <math.h>
    #include <limits.h>
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <stdint.h>
    #include <stdbool.h>
    #include <stddef.h>
    #include <stdarg.h>
    #include <stdnoreturn.h>
    #include <stdalign.h>
    #include <ctype.h>
    #include <inttypes.h>
    #include <float.h>
    #include <errno.h>
    #include <time.h>
    #include <assert.h>
    #include <complex.h>

##### Using #include
In C and C++, you may `#include <file.h>` one after another on the same line.  The bot will automatically put them on separate lines.  If you do use `#include`, the files you specify will replace the default includes.  You do not need to append a `\n` after the `#include`.

    <pragma-> cc #include <sys/utsname.h> struct utsname u; uname(&u);
       <PBot> pragma-:  <no output: u = {sysname = "Linux", nodename = "compiler", release = "3.2.0-8-generic", version = "#15-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 11 13:57:44 UTC 2012", machine = "x86_64",  __domainname = "(none)"}>

<!-- -->

    <pragma-> cc #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> void func(void) { puts("Hello, world"); } func();
       <PBot> pragma-: Hello, World

In the previous examples, only the specified includes (e.g., `<sys/utsname.h>` in the first example, `<stdio.h>` and `<stdlib.h>` in the second, will be included instead of the default includes.

##### Using #define
You can also `#define` macros; however, `#defines` require an explicit `\n` sequence to terminate, oe the remainder of the line will be part of the macro.

    <pragma-> cc #define GREETING "Hello, World"\n puts(GREETING);
       <PBot> pragma-: Hello, World

#### main() Function Unnecessary
In C and C++, if there is no `main` function, then a `main` function will created and wrapped around the appropriate bits of your code (unless the `-nomain` flag was specified); anything outside of any functions, excluding preprocessor stuff, will be put into this new `main` function.

    <pragma-> cc -paste int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } printf("4 + 6 = %d -- ", add(4, 6)); int add3(int a, int b, int c)
            { return add(a, b) + c; } printf("7 + 8 + 9 = %d", add3(7, 8, 9));
       <PBot> http://sprunge.us/ehRA?c

The `-paste` flag causes the code to be pretty-formatted and pasted with output in comments to a paste site, which displays the following:

    #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 9001
    #define __USE_XOPEN
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <math.h>
    #include <limits.h>
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <stdint.h>
    #include <stdbool.h>
    #include <stddef.h>
    #include <stdarg.h>
    #include <stdnoreturn.h>
    #include <stdalign.h>
    #include <ctype.h>
    #include <inttypes.h>
    #include <float.h>
    #include <errno.h>
    #include <time.h>
    #include <assert.h>
    #include <complex.h>
    #include <prelude.h>


    int add(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }

    int add3(int a, int b, int c) {
        return add(a, b) + c;
    }

    int main(void) {
        printf("4 + 6 = %d -- ", add(4, 6));

        printf("7 + 8 + 9 = %d", add3(7, 8, 9));
        return 0;
    }

    /************* OUTPUT *************
    4 + 6 = 10 -- 7 + 8 + 9 = 24
    ************** OUTPUT *************/

#### Embedding Newlines
Any `\n` character sequence appearing outside of a character literal or a string literal will be replaced with a literal newline.

#### Printing in binary/base2
A freenode ##c regular, Wulf, has provided a printf format specifier `b` which can be used to print values in base2.

    <Wulf> cc printf("%b", 1234567);
    <PBot> 000100101101011010000111

<!-- -->

    <Wulf> cc printf("%#'b", 1234567);
    <PBot> 0001.0010.1101.0110.1000.0111

#### Using the GDB debugger
The program is executed within a gdb debugger instance, which may be interacted with via the following gdb macros.

##### print
The `print()` macro prints the values of expressions.  Useful for printing out structures and arrays.

    <pragma-> cc int a[] = { 1, 2, 3 }; print(a);
       <PBot> pragma-: a = {1, 2, 3}

<!-- -->

    <pragma-> cc #include <sys/utsname.h> struct utsname u; uname(&u); print(u);
       <PBot> pragma-: u = {sysname = "Linux", nodename = "compiler", release = "3.2.0-8-generic", version = "#15-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 11 13:57:44 UTC 2012", machine = "x86_64",  __domainname = "(none)"}

<!-- -->

    <pragma-> cc print(sizeof(int));
       <PBot> pragma-: sizeof(int) = 4

<!-- -->

    <pragma-> cc print(2+2);
       <PBot> pragma-: 2 + 2 = 4

##### ptype
The `ptype()` macro prints the types of expressions.

    <pragma-> cc int *a[] = {0}; ptype(a); ptype(a[0]); ptype(*a[0]);
       <PBot> pragma-: a = int *[1]  a[0] = int *  *a[0] = int

##### watch
The `watch()` macro watches a variable and displays its value when it changes.

    <pragma-> cc int n = 0, last = 1; watch(n); while(n <= 144) { n += last; last = n - last; } /* fibonacci */
       <PBot> pragma-: n = 1  n = 2  n = 3  n = 5  n = 8  n = 13  n = 21  n = 34  n = 55  n = 89  n = 144

##### trace
The `trace()` macro traces a function's calls, displaying passed and returned values.

    <pragma-> ,cc trace(foo); char *foo(int n) { puo, world"); return "Good-bye, world"; } foo(42);
       <PBot> pragma-: entered [1] foo (n=42)  Hello, world  leaving [1] foo (n=42), returned 0x401006 "Good-bye, world"

##### gdb
The `gdb()` function takes a string argument which it passes to the gdb debugger and then displays the output if any.

    <pragma-> ,cc gdb("info macro NULL");
       <PBot> pragma-: Defined at /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/include/stddef.h:402  #define NULL ((void *)0)

<!-- -->

    <pragma-> ,cc void foo() { gdb("info frame"); } foo();
       <PBot> pragma-: Stack level 1, frame at 0x7fffffffe660: rip = 0x400e28 in foo (); saved rip 0x400e43 called by frame at 0x7fffffffe680, caller of frame at 0x7fffffffe650 source language c. Arglist at 0x7fffffffe650, args: Locals at 0x7fffffffe650, Previous frame's sp is 0x7fffffffe660 Saved registers: rbp at 0x7fffffffe650, rip at 0x7fffffffe658

#### Interactive Editing
The [cc](#cc) command supports interactive-editing.  The general syntax is:  `cc [command]`.

Each cc snippet is saved in a buffer which is named after the channel or nick it was used in.  You can use [show](#show) or [diff](#diff) with a buffer argument to view that buffer; otherwise you can use the [copy](#copy) command to copy the most recent snippet of another buffer into the current buffer and optionally chain it with another command -- for example, to copy the `##c` buffer (e.g., from a private message or a different channel) and paste it: `cc copy ##c and paste`.

The commands are:  [copy](#copy), [show](#show), [diff](#diff), [paste](#paste), [run](#run), [undo](#undo), [s//](#s.2F.2F), [replace](#replace), [prepend](#prepend), [append](#append), and [remove](#remove).  Most of the commands may be chained together by separating them with whitespace or "and".

The commands are described in more detail below:

##### copy
To copy the most recent snippet from another buffer (e.g., to copy another channel's or private message's buffer to your own private message or channel), use the `copy` command.  Other commands can optionally be chained after this command.

Usage: `cc copy <buffer> [and ...]`

##### show
To show the latest code in the buffer, use the `show` command.  This command can take an optional buffer argument.

    <pragma-> cc show
       <PBot> pragma-: printf("Hello, world!");

This command is stand-alone and cannot be chained with other interactive-editing commands.

##### diff
To see the differences between the two most recent snippets, use the `diff` command.  This command can take an optional buffer argument.

    <pragma-> cc diff
       <PBot> pragma: printf("<replaced `Hello` with `Good-bye`>, <replaced `world` with `void`>");

This command is stand-alone and cannot be chained with other interactive-editing commands.

##### paste
To paste the full source of the latest code in the buffer as the compiler sees it, use the `paste` command:

    <pragma-> cc paste
       <PBot> pragma-: http://some.random.paste-site.com/paste/results

This command is stand-alone and cannot be chained with other interactive-editing commands.

##### run
To attempt to compile and execute the latest code in the buffer, use the `run` command:

    <pragma-> cc run
       <PBot> pragma-: Hello, world!

This command is stand-alone and cannot be chained with other interactive-editing commands.

##### undo
To undo any changes, use `undo`.  The `undo` command must be the first command before any subsequent commands.

##### s//
To change the latest code in the buffer, use the `s/regex/substitution/[gi]` pattern.

    <pragma-> cc s/Hello/Good-bye/ and s/world/void/
       <PBot> pragma-: Good-bye, void!
    <pragma-> cc show
       <PBot> pragma-: printf("Good-bye, void!");

##### replace
Alternatively, you may use the `replace` command.  The usage is (note the required single-quotes):

`cc replace [all, first, second, ..., tenth, last] 'from' with 'to'`

##### prepend
Text may be prepended with the `prepend` command:

`cc prepend 'text'`

##### append
Text may be appended with the `append` command:

`cc append 'text'`

##### remove
Text may be deleted with the `remove` command:

`cc remove [all, first, second, ..., tenth, last] 'text'`

#### Some Examples

    <pragma-> cc int fib2(int n, int p0, int p1) { return n == 1 ? p1 : fib2(n  - 1, p1, p0 + p1); }
                int fib(int n) { return n == 0 ? 0 : fib2(n, 0, 1); } for(int i = 0; i < 21; i++) printf("%d ", fib(i));
       <PBot> pragma-: 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 987 1597 2584 4181 6765

### english
Converts C11 code into English sentences.

Usage: english `<C snippet>`

    <pragma-> english char (*a)[10];  char *b[10];
       <PBot> Let a be a pointer to an array of length 10 of type char. Let b be an array of length 10 of type pointer to char.

<!-- -->

    <pragma-> english for(;;);
       <PBot> Repeatedly do nothing.

<!-- -->

       <PBot> Let Batman be another name for a character. Let Bruce_Wayne be a character. Let superhero be a character, with value being Bruce_Wayne cast to a Batman.

### expand
Expands macros in C code and displays the resulting code.  Macros must be terminated by a `\n` sequence.  You may `#include` headers to expand macros defined within.

Usage: `expand <C snippet>`

    <pragma-> expand #define WHILE while ( \n #define DO ) { \n #define WEND } \n  int i = 5; WHILE --i DO puts("hi"); WEND
       <PBot> pragma-: int i = 5; while ( --i ) { puts("hi"); }

### faq
Displays questions from the [http://http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html](comp.lang.c FAQ).  Some queries may return more than one result; if this happens, you may use the `match #` optional argument to specify the match you'd like to view.

Usage: `faq [match #] <search regex>`

    <pragma-> faq cast malloc
       <PBot> 2 results, displaying #1: 7. Memory Allocation, 7.6 Why am I getting ``warning: assignment of pointer from integer lacks a cast** for calls to malloc? : http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q7.6.html
    <pragma-> faq 2 cast malloc
       <PBot> 2 results, displaying #2: 7. Memory Allocation, 7.7 Why does some code carefully cast the values returned by  malloc to the pointer type being allocated? : http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q7.7.html
    <pragma-> faq ^6.4

### c99std
Searches ISO/IEC 9899:TC3 (WG14/N1256), also known as the C99 draft standard.   http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/WG14/www/docs/n1256.pdf

Usage: `c99std [-list] [-n#] [section] [search regex]`

If specified, `section` must be in the form of `X.YpZ` where `X` and `Y` are section/chapter and, optionally, `pZ` is paragraph.

To display a specific section and all its paragraphs, specify just the `section` without `pZ`.

To display just a specific paragraph, specify the full `section` identifier (`X.YpZ`).

You may use `-n #` to skip to the nth match.

To list only the section numbers containing 'search text', add `-list`.

If both `section` and `search regex` are specified, then the search space will be within the specified section identifier.
