note: use your seneca email id as root of your development branch

|-- Team svn account
  +--branches
  | +-- member id one  <-- this is your "development root"
  |   +-- testdir
  | +-- member id two
  |   +-- testdir
  | +-- member id three
  |   +-- testdir
  +--tags
  +--trunk

• Add C text files to your repo's testdir and exercise Checkout, update, commit, etc... on it. due Thu Sep 23 12:00 noon
• work with svn and familiarize yourself with it
• Blog,
• Get ready for the first quiz on what ever we work on till now

Week 4 - Sep 26

This Week

• void pointers
• intro to pointer to functions
• developing io library continued

To Do

1. Add a blank solution to trunk with the following files:
   1. iol.c(blank file)
   2. iol.h(blank header file with safeguard coded only)
   3. ioltest.c a file that includes iol.h and has conditional compilation set for each developers main() function for testing:

      see below for example.

2. Each team member should branch the trunk into his/her workspace in branches

   Each team member must implement one platform and test it to make sure all the functions work properly

3. Merge back the workspace to trunk to apply the changes you made.

   Merge, compile trunk, make sure everything works, then commit the trunk and branch it to next tag dir sequence.

   First one completing the platform should call the tag prj0.01, next one should call the tag 0.02 and so on....

   Last one completing the assigned platform should call the tag 0.1. ( will mark this tag the latest release after 0.1)

4. Prj0.1 due on Wed 29 noon;

   Submit in tags prj0.1 branch (dir) of your team repository

   Simple iolib functions are due with your own test program to prove that functions work properly

   One platform must be committed per (and by) team member. (i.e. if you have four team members, you have four platforms to develop)

   Note that in MAC for function keys you should use combination of one of the ctrl, alt or apply keys with the function keys to get a unique key code.

   Minimum number of platforms is 2. which means if you are doing the project alone, you must have at least two platforms.

/* ioltest.c example
#include "iol.h"
#define senecaid1  1
#define senecaid2  2
#define ....
#define PROGRAMMER senecaid1
#if PROGRAMMER == senecaid1
int main(){
/* test written by senecaid1 */
  return 0;
}
#elif PROGRAMMER == senecaid2
int main(){
/* test written by senecaid2 */
  return 0;
}
#elif ......
#else
int main(){
  /* common main for all */
  return 0;
}
#endif
