Overview of this book

CMake is cross-platform, open-source software for managing the build process in a portable fashion. This book features a collection of recipes and building blocks with tips and techniques for working with CMake, CTest, CPack, and CDash. CMake Cookbook includes real-world examples in the form of recipes that cover different ways to structure, configure, build, and test small- to large-scale code projects. You will learn to use CMake's command-line tools and master modern CMake practices for configuring, building, and testing binaries and libraries. With this book, you will be able to work with external libraries and structure your own projects in a modular and reusable way. You will be well-equipped to generate native build scripts for Linux, MacOS, and Windows, simplify and refactor projects using CMake, and port projects to CMake.

Creating a simple unit test

The code for this recipe is available at https://github.com/dev-cafe/cmake-cookbook/tree/v1.0/chapter-04/recipe-01, and includes a C++ example. The recipe is valid with CMake version 3.5 (and higher), and has been tested on GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows.

In this recipe, we will introduce unit tests using CTest, the testing tool distributed as a part of CMake. In order to keep the focus on the CMake/CTest aspect and to minimize the cognitive load, we wish to keep the code that is to be tested as simple as possible. Our plan is to write and test code that can sum up integers, and nothing more. Just like in primary school, when we learned multiplication and division after learning how to add, at this point, our example code will only add and will only understand integers; it will not need to deal with floating point numbers. And, just as the young Carl...
