Tools and Automation

During the development of the library, various tools were used such as linters ruff for Python and cppcheck for C++. They were used both manually on the authors’ local machines and in an automated CI pipeline.

Additionally, formatters black for Python and clang-format for C++ were utilized.

As mentioned, an automated integration environment was created using GitHub Actions. Upon committing changes to the remote repository, linting is performed first. If successful, the package is built for both Ubuntu and Windows systems using g++ for Ubuntu and MSVC for Windows. After compilation, C++ unit tests are run. If they pass, the Python package is built and Python unit tests are executed.
