    text
    copied!<p>I am looking for a high-level build system/tool that can help organise my embedded C project into "modules" and "components". Note that these two terms are highly subjective so my definitions are given below.</p> <ul> <li>A module is a cohesive collection of c and h files but with only one public h file that is visible to other modules.</li> <li>A component (or a layer) on the other hand is a collection of modules (e.g. Application layer, Library layer, Driver layer, RTOS layer etc.). </li> </ul> <p>The build system/tool should -</p> <ul> <li>Prevent cyclic dependencies between components and modules (cyclic dependencies inside modules is okay)</li> <li>prevent access to private barriers of a module. If other modules try to include a header file that is private to a module, the build system must throw an error. However, files within a private barrier must be able to include other files inside that barrier.</li> <li>support building and executing of unit tests automatically (fast feedback loop for TDD) on host</li> <li>support unit tests to be run on target simulator</li> <li>support code static analysis</li> <li>support code generation</li> <li>support code duplication detection (enforce DRY principle)</li> <li>support code beautification</li> <li>support generation of unit test code coverage metrics</li> <li>support generation of code quality metrics</li> <li>be platform-independent</li> </ul> <p>I could write my own build tool and spend a lot of time on it. However, that is not my area of expertise and I'd rather not re-invent the wheel if someone has already created such a tool.</p>
