How To Install relacy-dev on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install relacy-dev on Kali Linux.

What is relacy-dev

relacy-dev is:

Relacy Race Detector is a tool for efficient execution of unit tests for synchronization algorithms written in C++0x. Every user thread is represented as a fiber (ucontext). Every time only one fiber is running, and special scheduler controls interleaving between fibers. With random scheduler it just executes numerous amount of various interleavings between threads. With full search scheduler or context-bound scheduler it systematically executes all possible interleavings between threads. While executing particular interleaving it makes exhaustive verification of various aspects of execution (races, accesses to freed memory etc).

If no errors found then verification terminates when particular number of interleavings are verified (for random scheduler), or when all possible interleavings are verified (for full search scheduler). If error is found then tool outputs execution history which leads to error and terminates. Physically Relacy Race Detector is a header-only library for C++98.
