CPSC 480-020 Software Engineering (SE) Fall 2026

Week 7 Class 14 Thu Oct 08 Posted: Oct 08

After Class

• Project 2 Feedback in GitHub, scores in Brightspace. If your iteration capacity was not correct, I strongly suggest that you figure out what is wrong before the Midterm Exam. You are not allowed to exceed the iteration capacity.

Before Class

• Exercise 26: Makefile

  Feedback is in the file Report1.md in the branch feedback in your Build Files repository. You can view this at GitHub. Look where it indicates the current branch, select the branch feedback and you will see the file Report1.md. If you want to compare it, look at the Report1.md from build-files-f26-020.

  We will continue to add to this code in another exercise. If you have lots of problems, then get my current version at build-files-f26-020. Then put that into your Makefile and save it. Finally, commit that to your repository with the following command:

  Do not deviate from this commit message as it will cause problems when I grade it.

• Exercise 26: Makefile The demo that I did build-files-f26-020 included a diagrams branch with Makefile dependency graphs generated from the current version of the Makefile. This was done via a GitHub Action.

  I decided to add these diagrams to your repository. So if you look at your repo, there is a diagrams branch with a diagram for each commit that changes the Makefile. It is not automated, so as you perform commits it will not automatically update the diagrams, but I will run the script periodically during class.

  To automate this, we would need to add a GitHub Action. That has to be on the main branch, so you would have a commit, and would need to git pull before you made any more commits. To avoid potential confusion, it is not an action.

Announcements

• Project 2 Due Friday, Oct 9 at 11:59:59 pm
• Midterm Exam Thursday, October 15

Class

• Exercise 32: Makefile Dependency Diagram

  Using the feedback in Brightspace for Exercise 31: Team Text Match, correct your diagram. If you got a 10 / 10 with the feedback "Correct", you do not have to do anything to receive full credit. For all other cases, correct your diagram or you will receive a 0 on this exercise.

• Exercise 33: Makefile II

  This is a continuation of Exercise 26: Makefile. Use the same repository as before. Code along and make the same commits with the same commit messages as I do in class.

  Makefile Dependency Diagram

  • GNU Make
  • Make Rule Introduction What a rule looks like
  • Special Note: recipes are indented using a tab character, not spaces. Using spaces (or an editor that expands tabs to spaces) will result in an invalid Makefile.
  • Automatic Variables including $@, $<, and $^
  • NMake Microsoft's version of Make
  • srcML Playground Generate new srcML of source code, input format for srccomplexity
• Notes: Build Files
• Exercise 30: Build Files Crossword

• CMake

• Exercise 34: Team Text Match II

Unless stated otherwise, all exercises are due by 4 pm on Mon Oct 12
