Description

Ideally CI would build and test on multiple platforms, but that would be a lot of work.

In the meantime, let's have CI at least do some rudimentary checks, e.g.:

  • poison.h is included in every .c file?
  • linked library has no unresolved dependencies?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Makefile and the repository's current CI setup to find where build and test checks are defined. Determine how to check that poison.h is included in every .c file and that the linked library has no unresolved dependencies; done means both checks run reliably in CI.
