README

This is a tutorial of the margot-aspect code generator.
For demonstration purposes, the files contained in the test/ folder can be used; these are:

• a C++ application exploiting some of the possible use cases,
• the related configuration files for the mARGOt framework, and
• the XML configuration file for the code insertion.

For information about the mARGOt framework, refer to: https://gitlab.com/margot_project

Compiling instructions

1. Clone the margot-aspect project from the repository:

:::bash
  $ git clone https://github.com/arcari-galimberti/margot-aspect.git

2. Create a build/ folder inside the root of the project, and run cmake and make:

:::bash
  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
  $ make

Execution instructions

Usage: ./margotaspect [options]
Generate AspectC++ aspects for Margot Framework:
  -g [ --generate ] arg Aspect description XML file
  -o [ --output ] arg   Output (.ah) file
  -h [ --help ]         Print the help message

Launch the executable by passing as its parameters the pathname for the XML configuration file and the pathname for the generated aspect file:

:::bash
	$ ./margotaspect -g <configuration_file-pathname>.xml -o <output_aspect_file_pathname>.ah
