How to parse AccurateRip DBAR responses

Prerequisites

Consult the module AccurateRip DBAR Parser for the part of the API you want to use.

Insert

#include <arcstk/dbar.hpp>
#include <arcstk/identifier.hpp>

in the file where you intend to place your code.

Simple way to load the dBAR file

The simplest way to load the file is to let libarcstk do it for you:

DBAR dBAR;

try
{
    dBAR = arcstk::load_file(filename);

} catch(const StreamParseException& e)
{
    std::cerr << e.what();
    // ... do some error handling, skip dBAR
}

Sophisticated way to load the dBAR file

std::ifstream stream;
stream.exceptions(std::ifstream::failbit | std::ifstream::badbit);
try
{
    stream.open(filename, std::ifstream::in | std::ifstream::binary);
}
catch (const std::ifstream::failure& f)
{
    throw std::runtime_error(
        std::string("Failed to open file '") + filename +
        std::string("', got: ") + typeid(f).name() +
        std::string(", message: ") + f.what());
}

// Perform parsing

using arcstk::DBARBuilder;
using arcstk::DBARBlock;
using arcstk::parse_stream;

DBARBuilder builder;
try {

    const auto total_bytes { arcstk::parse_stream(stream, &builder, nullptr) };
    std::cout << "Read " << total_bytes << " bytes" << '\n';
    stream.close();

} catch (const StreamParseException& e)
{
    stream.close();
    throw;
}
// ... normally you would also catch other possible exceptions, we just
// concentrate on libarcstk.

// you may now return builder.result();
