Problem: The spectool.cc include path bug was not caught by the test suite
because check_all.sh only built tests, not tools.
Root Cause Analysis:
- check_all.sh used -DDEMO_BUILD_TESTS=ON only
- Tools (spectool, specview, specplay) are built with -DDEMO_BUILD_TOOLS=ON
- CTest runs tests but doesn't verify tool compilation
- Result: Tool compilation failures went undetected
Solution: Updated scripts/check_all.sh to:
1. Enable both -DDEMO_BUILD_TESTS=ON and -DDEMO_BUILD_TOOLS=ON
2. Explicitly verify all tools compile (spectool, specview, specplay)
3. Add clear output messages for each verification stage
4. Document what the script verifies in header comments
Updated doc/CONTRIBUTING.md:
- Added "Automated Verification (Recommended)" section
- Documented that check_all.sh verifies tests AND tools
- Provided manual verification steps as alternative
- Clear command examples with expected behavior
Verification:
- Tested by intentionally breaking spectool.cc include
- Script correctly caught the compilation error
- Reverted break and verified all tools build successfully
This ensures all future tool changes are verified before commit.
Prevents regression: Similar include path issues will now be caught
by pre-commit verification.
