The Build Launcher ctclaunch

In productive use, the instrumenting tool ctc is usually not used directly, but has to integrate with an existing build process. ctclaunch is the recommended tool to be used for that purpose. The alternative tool is ctcwrap.

With the build command passed to ctclaunch, an instrumented version of the test executable is built. To build a non-instrumented version again, the original build command, possibly with a full rebuild, is used.

For other builds executed in parallel, only the build process initiated by ctclaunch leads to an instrumented version. The other builds are not affected by the Testwell CTC++ toolchain. This is the key advantage of ctclaunch compared to the use of ctcwrap with option -hard.
