Sublime Text Portable C++ Build System (with I/O Redirection & Timeout)

This repository/set of files contains a custom build system for Sublime Text (portable version), designed to:

• Compile C++ code using g++.exe
• Run the compiled .exe file with input/output redirection
• Automatically terminate execution after 15 seconds to avoid infinite loops or long runtimes
• Use a shared IO folder placed inside the Sublime Text portable directory for inputs and outputs

---

✔ Usage

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/mdiftekharahmed/Sublime_CP_Portable.git

Run the sublime exe file

Open the IO folder and input.txt, output.txt file for input and output

Ctrl + B for compile and run

It automatically takes input form IO/input.txt and ouput in IO/output.txt

It automatically traces its location, no need to change anything

• Place your input in IO/input.txt.
• Output will be written to IO/output.txt.

⚙ Build System Setup

Current build system content inside: (cpp17)

{
  "cmd":
  ["g++.exe",
  "-std=c++17","${file}",
  "-o",
  "${file_base_name}.exe",
  "&&",
  "${file_base_name}.exe<${packages}\\..\\..\\IO\\input.txt>${packages}\\..\\..\\IO\\output.txt"],
  "selector":"source.cpp",
  "shell":"true",
  "working_dir":"$file_path"
}

🛠 How It Works

1. Compiles your current C++ file using g++.exe with C++17.
2. Redirects input/output from/to files in the IO folder.
3. Executes in a background shell.
4. Waits 15 seconds, then checks and kills the process if it's still running.

This ensures you don't get stuck in infinite loops or long waits during development.

🧪 Example Workflow

1. Write C++ code in Sublime Text.
2. Save your file.
3. Provide necessary input in IO/input.txt.
4. Press Ctrl + B to build.
5. Check IO/output.txt for the program's output.

❗ Requirements

• g++.exe (MinGW) available in your PATH or bundled with your portable setup.
• Windows environment (uses cmd).
• Sublime Text Portable.
