We use the Boost Test suite, refer to the test/ directory for how to set up a test. The test_generic may serve as a starting point. Remember to add the test to test/.gitignore and test/SConscript.

@ff2000 set up YouCompletMe completion for astroid in vim as in issue #14. We now include a default .ycm_extra_conf.py created as described in issue #14 and with the standard compile flags for on Arch Linux. To set up a compile_commands.json file one option is to use bear and to specify the current directory as the path to this file.

1. Install YouCompleteMe
2. Install bear
3. Make a compile_commands.json file by running: devel/make_compile_commands.sh in the source root.
