Examples for several build systems

It is easy to integrate Testwell CTC++ with the following build systems using ctclaunch. An exemplary generic description how to do that is given for them.

In all examples, multicondition is used as instrumentation mode, given to ctclaunch with option -i m.

NMAKE

If a normal build is done with

nmake

the instrumented version is built with

ctclaunch -i m nmake

CMake

If CMake is configured with:

cmake -S . -B build -GNinja

configure another build directory like

cmake -S . -B build-cov -GNinja

If a Ninja call is used to build in the build directory like

cd build
ninja

then the instrumented version is built with

cd build-cov
ctclaunch -i m ninja

If the build is done by a CMake call like

cmake --build build

the instrumented version can be built with

ctclaunch -i m cmake --build build-cov

With the additional build directory, you can switch between instrumented and not instrumented builds without the need for a full rebuild.

IarBuild

When the IAR add-on is used on Windows, ctclaunch is the recommended method to build instrumented programs:

ctclaunch -iar -i m iarbuild myproject.ewp

MSBuild

If a rebuild is done with

msbuild MySolution.sln -t:Rebuild

the instrumented rebuild is done with

ctclaunch -i m msbuild MySolution.sln -t:Rebuild

devenv.exe

When devenv is used directly for the build with

devenv MySolution.sln /build

the instrumented version is built with

ctclaunch devenv MySolution.sln /build
