Unit_Test.cmake:

Testing does not properly handle unit test dependencies in some versions of CMake. Therefore, we follow a standard workaround from CMake users and create a "check" target used to run the tests while rolling-up the dependencies properly. Thus tests may be run using make check as opposed to the standard CMake call. The CMake test support functions are still used.

Function unit_test_component_autocoder:

Performs registration of the autocoder step for the generation of GTestBase.hpp, GTestBase.cpp, TesterBase.cpp, and TesterBase.hpp. These autocoding steps automate, and keep up-to-date the above files saving time.

• EXE_NAME: name of exe (unit test exe)
• SOURCE_FILES: source files to provide for autocoding

Function generate_ut:

Generates the actual unit test, dependencies, and call the autocoder.

• UT_EXE_NAME: name of the UT executable to be created
• UT_SOURCES_INPUT: sources to split into source and autocoder file
• MOD_DEPS_INPUT: dependencies split into thread and module dependencies
