The code is located in the 'pc' folder, being the file 'IPC.h' the interface entry point to create producers and consumers.

To build the project and the executable shells, go to folder 'build' and type:

• cmake ..
• make

If the build is successful, all the executable targets will be generated in the 'build/bin' subdirectory.

The main shell is an executable target to test the producer and consumer code.
To execute the main shell, go to the bin folder and execute './pcshell'.
The shell accepts the following commands:

0: Quits the application.
1: Add a producer.
2: Add a consumer.
3: Remove a producer.
4: Remove a consumer.
5: Remove all producers.
6: Remove all consumers.
7: Add 5 producers.
8: Add 5 consumers.

The code of the shell is located in 'testApps/src/main.cpp'.

This is an executable that implements some integration tests using the C++ Google Test Framework Gtest. The code of the main test application is located in 'testApps/src/test.cpp'.

The implemented tests also use Valgrind client requests to check for memory leaks in each test case. To do so, the number of memory leaks is checked before and after each test case. If the number of memory leaks has increased after the test case, it means the code of the test case added memory leaks.

The source files 'pc/src/valgrind_check.h' and 'pc/src/valgrind_check.cpp' shows how the Valgrind client requests are used. To execute the test target under Valgrind, go to the bin folder and execute the script 'memcheckTests.sh'. Such script makes use of a Valgrind suppression file to get rid of errors generated by the Gtest suite.
