Hi. I've ported version 1.1 of the CLI library to Microsoft .NET 2.0
using C#. My reasons are not selfless -- I simply needed a good
command line argument parsing library for .NET, and I could not find
one. Instead of reinventing the wheel I decided to port your library
since I use it whenever developing command line applications in Java.
Here are the notable changes I made while porting:
- - Java's iterator is bi-directional while .NET's enumerator is simple,
and uni-directional. I created a class, BidirectionalEnumerator<T> to
match the functionality present in Java.
- - Getters and setters have become property accessors. For example,
instead of getWidth() and setWidth(), there is now Width { get; set; }.
- - Method names now begin with upper case.
- - Class level variables are now prefixed with "m_".
- - Interfaces now begin with upper case "I". Ex. CommandLineParser is
now ICommandLineParser.
- - I've used generics where possible instead of Objects. Ex. An
ArrayList of Object types intended to hold strings is now List<string>.
- - I've used Dictionary<Tk,Tv> for a hash table.
- - In Java, the method substring is defined as func(int begin, int end)
where end is exclusive and the length to splice is a result of end -
begin. In .NET Substring is func(int begin, int length) where length
is inclusive. Instead of changing your math I instead created a static
class called JavaPorts and have created the method
JavaPorts.Substring( string value, int beginIndex, int endIndex ) that
functions as Java's substring.
I generally release my code under the New BSD license, and unless you
would like to host this port on Apache's site I am going to open a
SourceForge project for my port, or simply host it on my own site, http://www.lostcreations.com
.
Thoughts?
(p.s. Thanks for the great library!)
