Part 4 : Several useful CMake functions

• 4.1) The runExample function
• 4.2) The runPythonExample function
• 4.3) The plotPerf function
• 4.4) Summary
• 4.5) Functions to check Python environnement and build python module

• A function to lauch automatically the programs to be timed (runExample).
• A function to plot the result of the timer to have a automatic vizualisation of what we are doing (plotPerf).

These two functions will be in the file runExample.cmake.

• A target to run all the timing process (run_all).
• A target to plot all the results (plot_all).

The header of the file runExample.cmake is :
