Review

On the notes pages for our course, the link to the COP 3014 taught in the summer of 2010:

• http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~myers/c++/notes/index3014.html
This is for students to use as a reference any time they need it.  You can help clarify any of the topics from this list that the students may have questions on. Some topics that would be worth looking at:
• http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~myers/c++/notes/functions2.html
• Function overloading and default values on parameters
• http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~myers/c++/notes/references.html
• Reference variables, and more specifically, pass-by-reference
• http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~myers/c++/notes/basics1.html
• From this basics page, primarily the intro to C++ console I/O, with iostream library and usage of cout/cin
• http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~myers/c++/notes/formatting.html
• C++ formatting features for output streams, including stream manipulators and ios flags.
• http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~myers/c++/notes/fileio.html
• File I/O in C++ (using fstream library)

Creating an executable

Make and Makefiles

The following is known as a rule:
----------
target(s): prerequisite(s) (dependencies) (dependency list)
	command(s) (sometimes called recipes)
----------

target(s): prerequisite(s) (dependencies) (dependency list)
	command_1
	command_2
	command_3
	    .
	    .
	    .
	command_n

target ... : dependency ...
	command
	...
	...
	...

Example:
----------

.PHONY : all clean

all: hello_world

hello_world: hello.cpp hello.h
	g++ hello.cpp -o hello_world

# delete everything execpt source files
clean:
	rm hello_world
	rm *.o

• A makefile consists of one or more Rules. Rules tell when and how to rebuild target(s).
• The targets are sometimes called the goal of the rule.
• make ultimately ensures that the goal(s) of the makefile are up-to-date.
• Phony (Psuedo) Targets - target that does not have a real, corresponding file (file that we want to create).
• all and clean are pseudo targets.
• The pseudo targets will no longer work if a file with the corresponding name really exists. Therefore, pseudo targets should be explicitely stated in the Makefile.
• To explicitely define a Psuedo Target, use the special, built-in target name, .PHONY. (for other special built-in targets, see Special Built-in Target Names).
• To call a phony target, invoke make with the psuedo target name as the argument (e.g. make clean).
• If no argument is specified, the first target (excluding targets starting with a period) will be the default goal.
• If no dependency is listed, then corresponding command(s) for that rule will always be executed.
• To be safe, header files that are included in a given source file should be listed as dependencies when compiling the given source file.

Followups

• If having problems opening file transfer in SSH Secure Shell program, execute mesg on command line. If this outputs is n, then check if your .bashrc has mesg n and comment/delete it.
