Scripts and wrappers

Several scripts, utilities and compiler wrappers are located in the discopop/build/scripts directory. The following sections will give a brief overview over the individual scripts and their purpose.

Compiler wrappers

To simplify the application of DiscoPoP’s static analysis and code instrumentation, we provide wrapper scripts around the clang(CC_wrapper.sh) and clang++(CXX_wrapper.sh) compilers as well as a wrapper around cmake(CMAKE_wrapper.sh). These scripts can be used instead of the original versions to build the instrumented version of the sequential program. For examples how to use these wrappers, please refer to the examples.

Utilities

dp-fmap script

This script creates a filemapping file. However, it is not necessary anymore since the filemapping is created during the static analysis. Using the script to create a filemapping manually is still possible, although not recommended.

Developer utilities

Developer utilities are located inside the dev folder.

check-license.sh

Checks if all files in the project start with the appropriate license header.

create-release.sh

Original utility to create or prepare an new DiscoPoP release. It is not recommended to use this script to prepare a release. Follow the steps in how to contribute instead.

check-commit-msg.py

This script is part of the pre-commit checks described in how to contribute. It validates commit messages before commiting and ensures a well-structured and uniform formatting of git commit messages.
