Configuration of Testwell CTC++
Configuration Parameters Configuration parameters are used with Testwell CTC++ to achieve three general goals: Setting of user / project depending decisions; configuring a specific compiler; adapting to rare language and environment restrictions.
User and Project Specific ParametersThe following parameters might typically set by a user depending on the project or the specific user setup.
MASK_PATHSWith this configuration parameter, source file paths recorded by ctc can be controlled.

MASK_PATHS

With this configuration parameter, source file paths recorded by ctc can be controlled.

With artificial or dynamically changing build environments, it can be useful to cut paths, so that every build produces the same artifacts. Paths to source files are present in symbol file, in object files, in the instrumented executable and in data files.

With MASK_PATHS, a list of path anchors can be provided. The path of each source file is shortened when it contains one of these anchors. Only the first matching anchor is applied.

Everything left of the anchor is replaced by A:\ctc_mask\ on Windows and /ctc_mask/ on Linux and macOS, to keep paths distinguishable by ctcreport.

Example on Windows: Setting

MASK_PATHS = MyProject, source

masks paths in the following way

C:\3838\191\MyProject\source\foo.c	A:\ctc_mask\MyProject\source\foo.c
C:\1112\sandbox17\4\YourProject\source\bar.c	A:\ctc_mask\source\bar.c
