If you want to be recognized for your contributions to EASTL or have a project using EASTL be recognized; you can submit a pull request to the appropriate sections in README.md. Some examples of what the format and information will look like is as follows.
- John Smith - [email protected]
- John Smith
- Frostbite - Electronic Arts
- My Project - [link to said project]
All code contributions to EASTL are submitted as Github pull requests. All pull requests will be reviewed by an EASTL maintainer according to the guidelines found in the next section.
Your pull request should:
- merge cleanly
- come with tests
- tests should be minimal and stable
- fail before your fix is applied
- pass the test suite
- code formatting is encoded in clang format
- limit using clang format on new code
- do not deviate from style already established in the files
EASTL uses git submodules for its dependencies as they are seperate git repositories. Recursive clones will continue until HD space is exhausted unless they are manually limited. It is recommended to use the following to get the source:
git clone https://github.com/electronicarts/EASTL
cd EASTL
git submodule update --init
EASTL uses CMake as its build system.
- Create and navigate to "your_build_folder":
- mkdir your_build_folder && cd your_build_folder
- Generate build scripts:
- cmake eastl_source_folder -DEASTL_BUILD_TESTS:BOOL=ON
- Build unit tests for "your_config":
- cmake --build . --config your_config
- Run the unit tests for "your_config" from the test folder:
- cd test && ctest -C your_config
Here is an example batch file.
set build_folder=out
mkdir %build_folder%
pushd %build_folder%
call cmake .. -DEASTL_BUILD_TESTS:BOOL=ON -DEASTL_BUILD_BENCHMARK:BOOL=OFF
call cmake --build . --config Release
call cmake --build . --config Debug
call cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo
call cmake --build . --config MinSizeRel
pushd test
call ctest -C Release
call ctest -C Debug
call ctest -C RelWithDebInfo
call ctest -C MinSizeRel
popd
popd
Here is an example bash file
build_folder=out
mkdir $build_folder
pushd $build_folder
cmake .. -DEASTL_BUILD_TESTS:BOOL=ON -DEASTL_BUILD_BENCHMARK:BOOL=OFF
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --build . --config Debug
cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo
cmake --build . --config MinSizeRel
pushd test
ctest -C Release
ctest -C Debug
ctest -C RelWithDebInfo
ctest -C MinSizeRel
popd
popd
The value of EASTL_BUILD_BENCHMARK can be toggled to ON
in order to build projects that include the benchmark program.
