_ARTIFACTS - Build Artifacts Directory

This directory contains ALL temporary build files, binaries, logs, and generated artifacts.

📂 Directory Structure

_ARTIFACTS/
├── build/              # CMake build files (temporary)
│   ├── Debug/         # Debug build configuration
│   └── Release/       # Release build configuration
├── binaries/          # Final compiled binaries (.exe, .dll, .lib)
│   ├── Debug/
│   └── Release/
├── logs/              # Build logs and output
└── temp/              # Temporary files during build

🎯 Purpose

• build/ - CMake cache, intermediate object files, project files
• binaries/ - Final executables and libraries ready to use
• logs/ - Compilation logs, error reports, build timestamps
• temp/ - Any other temporary files generated during build

🚀 Usage

Build the project:

# From root directory
cmake -B _ARTIFACTS/build/Release -S . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build _ARTIFACTS/build/Release --config Release

Find your binaries:

# Executables will be in:
_ARTIFACTS/binaries/Release/

# Example:
_ARTIFACTS/binaries/Release/delay_example.exe

🧹 Clean Build

To start fresh, simply delete the build directory:

rm -rf _ARTIFACTS/build/

⚠️ .gitignore

This entire directory is ignored by git (except this README). All contents are regenerated during build.

📝 Notes

• Build times are logged to _ARTIFACTS/logs/
• CMake configuration is cached in _ARTIFACTS/build/
• Final binaries are copied to _ARTIFACTS/binaries/ for easy access
• Tests are run from _ARTIFACTS/build/ but results logged to _ARTIFACTS/logs/
