[ccextractor-users] GSoC '15- Sample exercises

[Pranav V. <pra...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am interested in doing work for CCExtractor during GSoC 2015. I tried to
solve a few of the sample exercises on the GSoC page. My results are below:

1. https://github.com/vaishious/ccextractor-gsoc15/blob/master/func_names.sh

Code has been written in a Shell Script. This extracts a very large number
of functions (3437). But this isn't 100% correct and will miss out on a few
functions. The code which works for all functions fails to run in time.
Thinking a little more about this made me realize that a C parser will be
required and that will make it a difficult task.

2. Compiled CCextractor using the makefile. Ran perfectly. Not sure what
the exercise means.

3. EBU (https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/tech/tech3264.pdf) , ISDB and DTMB
standards. Some of them have also been mentioned on the GSoC page of
CCExtractor.

4. Few files are here:

They are files with multiprogram CC. Some of the programs don't give any
output with CCextractor and fail. Some output a line or two of subtitles
and then fail.

5. I haven't really been able to understand the large code base of
CCExtractor so couldn't really come up with anything. I couldn't find any
documentation for it either (If there is documentation, I would appreciate
a link)

I hope to finish writing my proposal draft by tomorrow for an informal
review by the community. If I could get some documentation to understand
the code it would really help my proposal. Let me know any errors and
anything changes I should make.

Thanks,
Pranav Vaish
