Build and test the libuipc project using XMake. Use when building with xmake, running xmake f / xmake build / xmake run commands, selecting release/releasedbg/debug modes, or running Catch2 tests produced by xmake.

Based on SOC occupation classification
Build and test the libuipc project using CMake. Use when building the project, running cmake configure/build commands, compiling with RelWithDebInfo, running Catch2 tests, or when the user asks how to build or test libuipc.
General simulation development best practices for correctness, stability, and debuggability. Use when implementing or modifying simulation systems, solvers, constraints, or GPU kernels, especially for index safety, NaN/Inf issues, and diagnostics.
Review a libuipc pull request end-to-end: checkout the PR, summarize changes, list files for the human reviewer, and perform a domain-aware AI review covering physics correctness, backend architecture, C++ style, GPU code, and Python bindings. Optionally post review comments via `gh`. Use when the user provides a PR number, asks to review a PR, or wants to inspect a libuipc GitHub PR.
Push a version tag and optionally create a GitHub release

| description | Build and test the libuipc project using XMake. Use when building with xmake, running xmake f / xmake build / xmake run commands, selecting release/releasedbg/debug modes, or running Catch2 tests produced by xmake. |
Run all xmake commands from the repository root (libuipc/).
xmake f -c
Add -m releasedbg (RelWithDebInfo equivalent) or -m debug to change mode. Default is release.
xmake build -j8
Keep -j low (e.g. -j8). NVCC is memory-hungry and can OOM with a high job count.
Build one target: xmake build -j8 core.
Test targets use the shared uipc_test rule in apps/tests/xmake.lua, which rewrites the binary basename to uipc_test_<target>. Use the target name for xmake build / xmake run; use the binary name only when executing the file directly.
| Target name | Binary name |
|---|---|
core, geometry, common, sim_case, regression, sanity_check, backend_cuda | uipc_test_<target> |
hello_affine_body, hello_simplicial_complex, wrecking_ball, pyuipc | same as target |
List every runnable target with xmake run --help.
Tests use Catch2. Run via xmake (recommended):
xmake run sim_case
xmake run backend_cuda
Or execute the binary directly: ./build/<plat>/<arch>/<mode>/uipc_test_core (e.g. ./build/linux/x86_64/releasedbg/uipc_test_core; on Windows the path ends in .exe).
Catch2 flags passthrough:
--list-tests — list all test cases[tag] — filter by tag"test name" — run a specific test| Step | Command |
|---|---|
| Configure | xmake f -c (add -m releasedbg for RelWithDebInfo) |
| Build | xmake build -j8 |
| Build one target | xmake build -j8 <target> |
| List run targets | xmake run --help |
| Run test | xmake run <target> |
| Clean | xmake clean (add -a for all configs) |
