Updated the configuration dump function to serialize argument-value pairs into more detailed JSON objects. This now includes the argument's name, data type, value, and dimensions instead of just the value as a string. This richer output format allows for enhanced configuration clarity and downstream data processing. Improved type information and dimension data support handling various data types and array structures without information loss or ambiguity.
Standardized the iteration over dictionary keys in `limr.py` to directly call `.keys()` method for clarity. Additionally, streamlined the output formatting by removing redundant data in `print_params()` method, resulting in cleaner output without extraneous details. This enhances code readability and maintains a tidy console display.
Temporarily retain input arguments in a dictionary within the initialization for potential future use, marked with a TODO for deciding on a singular method of parameter storage. This aims to streamline configuration management and facilitate debugging. Further cleanup is needed to consolidate parameter handling.
Refactored the dumpConfig function in C++ to output valid JSON format by changing brackets and refining the argument-value pair structure. This corrects the previous invalid JSON syntax and ensures compatibility with JSON parsers. In Python, enhanced type safety by explicitly annotating in_arg as a dictionary and streamlined parameter initialization by iterating over items directly. This change improves code readability and reduces potential errors during parameter assignment.
Fixes issue with JSON serialization and parameter handling.
Refactored the limr class to streamline initialization and improve parameter management by directly fetching default parameters from the `limedriver` binary with a `--dump` flag, eliminating manual parsing, leading to more robust and maintainable code. These changes improve the maintainability and extend the functionality of the parameter handling in the limr class, making it easier to scale and adapt for future requirements.
Improved JSON serialization logic in the driver to correctly handle and label special "///" arguments by giving them unique identifiers. This enhancement ensures that the outputted configuration data is not only syntactically correct but also more informative and easier to process programmatically. These changes address potential ambiguities when parsing the JSON output, leading to more reliable configuration management.
Moved compiled binaries to a dedicated 'bin/' directory to streamline output organization, ensuring that all executables are consolidated in a single, standard location. Updated the gitignore to reflect this change, which helps prevent accidental commits of executable files. The Makefile was also adjusted to build the 'limedriver' program within the new directory structure.
Removed the previously tracked binary 'limedriver' to reduce repository clutter and avoid potential merge conflicts with binary files. Now, future compilations will adhere to the new 'bin/' directory convention, improving the project's structure and maintainability.
Setup the initial build system and dependency management using Automake. This includes checks for a C++ compiler, LimeSuite library, and associated header files. Additionally, configured automatic dependency tracking to facilitate smoother development. This system is necessary for ensuring consistent builds across different environments and simplifying the addition of new components and dependencies as development progresses.
