Welcome to the Google C++ template system! As a quick start, here's a
35
small but complete program that uses this template library. For more
36
details see, the links below.
38
<h3>Template file <code>example.tpl</code></h3>
41
You have just won ${{VALUE}}!
42
{{#IN_CA}}Well, ${{TAXED_VALUE}}, after taxes.{{/IN_CA}}
45
<h3>C++ program <code>example.cc</code></h3>
47
#include <stdlib.h>
49
#include <iostream>
50
#include <ctemplate/template.h>
51
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
52
ctemplate::TemplateDictionary dict("example");
53
dict.SetValue("NAME", "John Smith");
54
int winnings = random() % 100000;
55
dict.SetIntValue("VALUE", winnings);
56
dict.SetFormattedValue("TAXED_VALUE", "%.2f", winnings * 0.83);
57
// For now, assume everyone lives in CA.
58
// (Try running the program with a 0 here instead!)
60
dict.ShowSection("IN_CA");
63
ctemplate::Template* tpl = ctemplate::Template::GetTemplate(
64
"example.tpl", ctemplate::DO_NOT_STRIP);
66
tpl->Expand(&output, &dict);
67
std::cout << output;
72
<h3>Compiling and linking (using gcc)</h3>
74
gcc -o example example.cc -lctemplate_nothreads
77
<p>I can use the "nothreads" library because <code>example.cc</code>
78
doesn't use threads. If <code>example.cc</code> were threaded, I
79
would do something like this instead:</p>
81
gcc -o example example.cc -lctemplate -pthread
84
<p>See the README for more details about the two different ctemplate
