Development

A predefined development environment for VSCode is provided here. To use this environment, simply open this repository in VSCode and:

1. Open the devcontainer with the command Dev Containers: Reopen in Container. This will automatically build the development environment and open it. Then run in the container:
   1. The command CMake: Build to build all targets.
   2. The command Tasks: Run task to run the tests.
