ljudge

ljudge is a command line tool to compile, run, check its output and generate a JSON report. It is designed to be the backend tool for an online judge system.

Dependencies

  • lrun, used for sandboxing the untrusted program

lrun provides amd64 .deb packages. You can install (and setup) them using:

wget https://github.com/quark-zju/lrun/releases/download/v1.1.3/lrun_1.1.3_amd64.deb
# for Debian 7, you may need to add wheezy-backports apt source first
sudo apt-get install libseccomp2
sudo dpkg -i lrun_1.1.3_amd64.deb

# following steps are required to pass ljudge --check
sudo gpasswd -a $USER lrun

Installation

  1. Typically, make && sudo install
  2. Copy configuration files at etc/ljudge to /etc/ljudge or ~/.cache/ljudge
  3. Run ljudge --check. It will examine the environment and tell you how to fix problems it finds. Repeat this step until ljudge complains nothing
  4. (Optionally) Install compilers (take Debian for example):
sudo apt-get install build-essential clisp fpc gawk gccgo gcj-jdk ghc git golang lua5.2 mono-mcs ocaml openjdk-7-jdk perl php5-cli python2.7 python3 racket rake ruby1.9.3 valac
# nodejs
sudo apt-get install rlwrap
wget https://deb.nodesource.com/node/pool/main/n/nodejs/nodejs_0.10.33-2nodesource1~wheezy1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i nodejs_0.10.33-2nodesource1~wheezy1_amd64.deb
  1. (Optionally) Run ljudge --compiler-versions to check installed compilers
  2. (Optionally) Run tests to verify things actually work: cd examples/a-plus-b; ./run.sh

Example

% echo 'a;b;main(){scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);printf("%d",a+b);exit(0);}' > a.c
% echo '1 2' > 1.in
% echo '3' > 1.out
% echo '111111111111111111111111 1' > 2.in
% echo '111111111111111111111112' > 2.out
% ljudge --max-cpu-time 1.0 --max-memory 32m --user-code a.c --testcase --input 1.in --output 1.out --testcase --input 2.in --output 2.out
{
  "compilation": {
    "log": "a.c:1:1: warning: data definition has no type or storage (...)",
    "success": true
  },
  "testcases": [
    {
      "memory": 1220608,
      "result": "ACCEPTED",

    },

    }
  ]
}

FAQ

Q: What are the available options?

A: Run ljudge --help.

Q: What is the schema of the output JSON?

A: Run ljudge --json-schema or check schema/response.json. You can verify the output JSON with validator tools.

Q: Does ljudge take advantage of multiple cores?

A: Yes. ljudge runs testcases in parallel, with thread number = cpu core number by default. You can control it with --threads n. For example, --threads 1 makes ljudge to run testcases sequentially.

Q: What is the "checker"?

A: The checker is used to compare the output of the user program and the standard output. It will return one of ACCEPTED, WRONG_ANSWER, PRESENTATION_ERROR. The default checker works in these steps, given both outputs:

  1. Ignores the ending \n of the last non-empty line of both output files.
  2. If they are identical, return ACCEPTED.
  3. Remove all blank characters from both outputs.
  4. If they are identical now, return PRESENTATION_ERROR.
  5. Return WRONG_ANSWER.

Q: What is the minimal supported version of Java?

A: 7. Java 6 requires the execve syscall, which is disabled. Try to set default Java to 7. For Debian, run update-alternatives --config java. Alternative you can enable execve syscall.

Q: What if I want to write a custom checker?

A: Just write one and pass it to ljudge using --checker-code. Your checker's stdin is the standard input and it can open these files:

  • "input": the reference input passed as --testcase --input
  • "output": the reference output passed as --testcase --output
  • "user_output" (or argv[1]): the output of the user program
  • "user_code": the source code provided using --user-code

The checker's stdout will be captured. It should return 0 for ACCEPTED, 1 for WRONG_ANSWER and 2 for PRESENTATION_ERROR.
To be compatible with some old checkers, -1 (or 255) means WRONG_ANSWER too.

Notes

Tested in:

  • Debian 7
  • Ubuntu 14.04/16.04
  • Arch Linux 2014.11

Some environment variables can change ljudge behavior (for debugging purpose). Therefore the environment variables must be trusted. You can also export NDEBUG=1 before building ljudge to remove all debug related features.
