Simple C++ CMake Project

This is a starter C++ project that demonstrates a clean, modern project structure using CMake for building and GoogleTest for unit testing.

Features

• CMake Build System: Uses modern CMake practices for a cross-platform build experience.
• Unit Testing: Integrated with GoogleTest for easy and robust testing.
• Structured Layout: Separates source code, header files, and tests for better organization.

Project Structure

The project follows a standard directory layout:

test-hello/
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── README.md
├── include/
│   └── functions.h
├── src/
│   ├── functions.cpp
│   └── main.cpp
└── test/
    └── main_test.cpp

Prerequisites

• A C++17 compliant compiler (e.g., GCC, Clang, MSVC).
• CMake (version 3.16 or higher).

Compilation and Execution Steps

To compile and run this project, follow these steps from the project's root directory (/home/rajat/vector/test-hello).

1. Configure the Project

First, create a build directory and run CMake to configure the project. This only needs to be done once, or whenever you change CMakeLists.txt.

cmake -B build

2. Build the Project

Compile the source code to create the executables.

cmake --build build

3. Run the Application

The main executable hello will be located in the build directory.

./build/hello

4. Run the Unit Tests

To run the tests, navigate into the build directory and use ctest. The --verbose flag provides more detailed output.

cd build
ctest --verbose
