<p>Majority (if not all) of the provided materials include makefile (contains absolute
path, so in case of linting and compiling, you need to adjust to your needs). You
basically need following list of tools:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>gcc</code> - for compiling</li>
<li><code>clang-tidy</code> - for linting (depends on distribution, might be provided with
clang itself or in separate package, e.g. <code>clang-tools-extra</code>)</li>
<li><code>clang-format</code> - for your own sanity of keeping consistent formatting</li>
<li><code>make</code> - since you are provided makefiles and it might be quickest to set up</li>
<li><code>valgrind</code> - in case you manage to create memory errors in your code</li>
</ul>
<p>In case of Fedora it is following set of packages:</p>

<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="ides">IDEs<a href="#ides" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to IDEs" title="Direct link to IDEs"></a></h2>
<p>Choice of the IDE is mostly up to you, you do not need to use IDE at all ;)</p>
<p>I would probably recommend VSCode + appropriate extension or CLion if you are used
to the JetBrains IDEs.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="git">git<a href="#git" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to git" title="Direct link to git"></a></h2>
<p>I recommend you using some basic versioning for your code, even though you submit
only the sources on <em>aisa</em>. There are specific reasons why I suggest it:</p>
<ul>
<li>if you build a <em>commit, tag and submit</em> habit, you might be able to address
some of the smaller problems in your sources even before submission; more info
in the <a href="#pre-commit">pre-commit section</a></li>
</ul>
<p>In case you are planning to use git branches for separating different
assignments and/or merge requests I suggest you to keep specifications and
skeletons on your default branch, since <em>frag</em> on <em>aisa</em> automatically downloads
everything that is not present and by that can create conflicts when switching
branches.</p>

correctness of your implementation and also identify bugs, since they are better

<p>Since frag creates a lot of support files (majority of them are dotfiles, i.e.
hidden files), I recommend you to use following
<a href="/files/cpp/environment/gitignore" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gitignore</a> configuration that
should cover most of the scenarios.</p>
<h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="pre-commit-link">pre-commit (<a href="https://pre-commit.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">link</a>)<a href="#pre-commit-link" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to pre-commit-link" title="Direct link to pre-commit-link"></a></h3>
<p>Pre-commit basically allows you to &quot;check&quot; your code before committing. It functions
as a git hook, i.e. you want to make a commit, pre-commit checks it before-hand.</p>
<p>In case of C++ there are few use-cases:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>formatting</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>linting</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>building and/or running tests, in case you feel like masochist</p>
<p>However this might be a challenging task to implement, since most of the tasks
are published from the beginning.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>In case of formatting and linting, there are already existing hooks (there is a
list of supported ones on the page), but there is also an option for you setting
it up yourself (it is just a matter of specifying command and files it should run
on).</p>

<p>I have tried 2 frameworks for testing, one of them will be probably showcased in
lectures. If you have not picked one yet, you can take an inspiration from the
following.</p>

<p>It is quite popular, only one header-file, also might be easier to set up.</p>
<p>Might feel slow to compile, this can be addressed by having one object file with
precompiled <code>main</code> for tests, e.g.</p>

<p>It is faster compared to catch2, even if you do not precompile the <code>main</code>. Might
be more complicated to set up, since there are multiple files (it is not one header
file). Not very user friendly on <em>aisa</em>. However can be installed through package
manager.</p></div><footer class="theme-doc-footer docusaurus-mt-lg"><div class="theme-doc-footer-edit-meta-row row"><div class="col"><a href="https://github.com/mfocko/blog/tree/main/cpp/environment.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="theme-edit-this-page"><svg fill="currentColor" height="20" width="20" viewBox="0 0 40 40" class="iconEdit_Z9Sw" aria-hidden="true"><g><path d="m34.5 11.7l-3 3.1-6.3-6.3 3.1-3q0.5-0.5 1.2-0.5t1.1 0.5l3.9 3.9q0.5 0.4 0.5 1.1t-0.5 1.2z m-29.5 17.1l18.4-18.5 6.3 6.3-18.4 18.4h-6.3v-6.2z"></path></g></svg>Edit this page</a></div><div class="col lastUpdated_vwxv"><span class="theme-last-updated">Last updated<!-- --> on <b><time datetime="2023-02-18T00:00:00.000Z">Feb 18, 2023</time></b></span></div></div></footer></article><nav class="pagination-nav docusaurus-mt-lg" aria-label="Docs pages"><a class="pagination-nav__link pagination-nav__link--prev" href="/cpp/exceptions-and-raii/placeholders/"><div class="pagination-nav__sublabel">Previous</div><div class="pagination-nav__label">Placeholders</div></a></nav></div></div><div class="col col--3"><div class="tableOfContents_bqdL thin-scrollbar theme-doc-toc-desktop"><ul class="table-of-contents table-of-contents__left-border"><li><a href="#required-tools-per-os" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">Required tools per OS</a><ul><li><a href="#windows" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">Windows</a></li><li><a href="#linux" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">Linux</a></li><li><a href="#macos" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">macOS</a></li><li><a href="#nixos" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">nix(OS)</a></li></ul></li><li><a href="#ides" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">IDEs</a></li><li><a href="#git" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">git</a><ul><li><a href="#pre-commit-link" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">pre-commit (link)</a></li></ul></li><li><a href="#testing" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">Testing</a><ul><li><a href="#catch2" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">catch2</a></li><li><a href="#google-test" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">Google Test</a></li></ul></li></ul></div></div></div></div></main></div></div></div><footer class="footer footer--dark"><div class="container container-fluid"><div class="row footer__links"><div class="col footer__col"><div class="footer__title">Git</div><ul class="footer__items clean-list"><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/mfocko" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">GitHub<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://gitlab.com/mfocko" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">GitLab<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://git.mfocko.xyz/mfocko" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">Gitea (self-hosted)<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21 13v10h-21v-19h12v2h-10v15h17v-8h2zm3-12h-10.988l4.035 4-6.977 7.07 2.828 2.828 6.977-7.07 4.125 4.172v-11z"></path></svg></a></li></ul></div><div class="col footer__col"><div class="footer__title">Social #1</div><ul class="footer__items clean-list"><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mfocko/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">LinkedIn<svg width="13.5" height="13.5" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="iconExternalLink_nPIU"><path fill="currentColor" d="M
