Sử dụng gcov để kiểm tra sourcecode

Sau khi hoàn thành source code, trong test phase, có thể chúng ta cần kiểm tra tập test case của chúng ta có coverage tất cả các trường hợp có thể xảy ra hay không, hành động này gọi là test code coverage. Có nhiều tool miễn phí cũng như có phí để thực hiện việc này, nhưng đơn giản nhất là sử dụng công cụ gcov đi kèm trong trình biên dịch gcc. Để đọc chi tiết hơn về gcov, bạn có thể vào http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html#Gcov, hoặc tìm kiếm với Google. Sử dụng gcov khá đơn giản, giả sử ta có 3 file a.c, b.c và c.c. Truy cập vào thư mục chứa 3 files này, gõ: gcc -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage a.c b.c c.c Mặc định gcc sẽ tạo ra file a.out trong thư mục hiện thời, cùng với 3 file a.gcno, b.gcno và c.gcno. Sau đó bạn chạy file a.out với các parameter cần thiết, sẽ tạo ra thêm 3 file a.gcda, b.gcda và c.gcda. Sau đó, giả sử cần phân tích file b.c, chúng ta gõ: gcov b.c Có hai tham số thường dùng là -b và -f: -b: thêm thông tin về branch trong code. -f: thêm thông tin về hàm. Thông

Getting started with Cryptpad in Ubuntu: step by step

Cryptpad is an open source collaborative editor which is hosted at: https://github.com/cjdelisle/cryptpad It is easy to clone the github repository and start to try, but if you are a newbie, there maybe some difficulties. Suppose that you have a clean Ubuntu machine, and want to try with Cryptpad, you can follow these steps: 1. Download mongodb for Linux: https://www.mongodb.org/downloads 2. Unzip the file you got to a location you want. You will start mongodb from there, or add this directory to your PATH variable so you can start mongodb from anywhere. 3. Suppose that you chose the easier way, i.e start mongodb from its directory. 4. Open Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T for shortcut), move to the directory of mongodb 5. Type: mkdir db mongod --dbpath=./db These above commands will first, create a directory 'db' insider the directory mongodb, then start mongodb server. 6. Keep the terminal with mongodb server running 7. Open another terminal (Ctrl + Shift +
