top100 is a tiny external sorting library under 1G memory usage

./top100 a.urls

This will print the top 100 most frequently occurring urls with count.

Output:

1 https://wwww.google.com

2 https://github.com

-h [ --help ] Produce help message

-v [ --version ] Print version details

-i [ --input ] arg Input file

Edit counter.hpp:22, replace the constant 100 with 200 or whatever you want

The ExternalSorter::sort takes a callback arg, which can be used to record the url in order

git clone https://github.com/condy0919/top100

Include top100/sorter.hpp in your main file:

#include "top100/sorter.hpp"
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    top100::ExternalSorter sorter{std::ifstream("test")};

    sorter.sort([](std::string s) {
        std::cout << s << '\n';
    });
}

Edit CMakeLists.txt, let it generate a static top100 library. Replace add_executable with add_library

Add add_subdirectory(top100) in your CMakeLists.txt

Enjoy :)
