Dear all,
The first release of the
GTEST module is available, featuring a recent version of the
Google Test / Google Mock framework, with full EPICS integration.
- Recent versions (1.10.0) of Google Test and Google Mock are compiled using the same compilers and the same options that your EPICS installation uses.
- The EPICS build system (using 'make runtests' and related targets) runs Google Tests as part of the regular build.
- A TAP listener creates test results in the TAP format that EPICS uses.
- Easy configuration in any EPICS Makefile; EPICS unit tests and Google Tests can live in the same directory.
- A compatibility RULES file allows using the GTEST module with older releases of EPICS Base. (Tested for 3.14.12.8 and above.)
- Can be compiled as an additional module inside the EPICS 7 Base installation.
Requires:
- EPICS Base
- C++ compiler that implements the C++11 standard.
Known to work on Linux, Windows, MacOS.
Thanks a lot to everyone who contributed and tested, especially to Freddie Akeroyd for his support to get the Windows parts in shape.
Please report any issues, observations and possible improvements.
Cheers,
~Ralph
