Create an automated build and test environment

[Nick Draper]

There is an available PC by my desk that should be suitable for this.

We should use LINUX (fedora or enterprise) for now.

We should install a continuous integration environment eg. cruisecontrol or luntbuild.

This will spot checkings to subversion and initiate a build.

The underlying compiler shoud be gcc, but the choice of build tools is flexible at the momnet, but we should aim for the same build mechanism to the available for the developers to use locally as well.

At the end of the build the unit tests need to be performed.

Should we consider SCons?

[Matt Clarke]

(In [228]) re #31

The big code clean up: The whole kernel build leaks memory and double deletes: Valgrind tells us that 800 problems exist and about 300 are in our code. This is an attempt to clean up this mess.

Algorithm is the first to be cleaned. Errors on double deletion of a vector where found [finalize]. Checking for empty strings found , and failure to delete managed memory when exiting on a fail [execute].

Access to subalgorithm has been changed to hand back a std::vector<Algorithm*>& This has both a const / non-const form.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [229]) Tidied up runTests.sh and made it (slightly) more portable. Re #31.

[Matt Clarke]
