.chg file format of MONOMAKH-SAPR: C++11/STL parsing library

CHG is a container format file used by MONOMAKH-SAPR, a software package for analysis & design of reinforced concrete multi-storey buildings with arbitrary configuration in plan.

CHG is a simple container, which bundles several project files together.

This page hosts a formal specification of .chg file format of MONOMAKH-SAPR using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.

Usage

Runtime library

All parsing code for C++11/STL generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the C++/STL runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.

For C++, the easiest way is to clone the runtime library sources and build them along with your project.

Code

Using Kaitai Struct in C++/STL usually consists of 3 steps.

We need to create an STL input stream (std::istream). One can open local file for that, or use existing std::string or char* buffer.

#include <fstream>

std::ifstream is("path/to/local/file.chg", std::ifstream::binary);

#include <sstream>

std::istringstream is(str);

#include <sstream>

const char buf[] = { ... };
std::string str(buf, sizeof buf);
std::istringstream is(str);

We need to wrap our input stream into Kaitai stream:

#include "kaitai/kaitaistream.h"

kaitai::kstream ks(&is);

And finally, we can invoke the parsing:
```
monomakh_sapr_chg_t data(&ks);
```

After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by invoking getter methods like:

data.title() // => get title
