The following shows how to set up CMakeLists.txt to perform the dynamic analysis of the code:

1. We first define the minimum CMake version, project name, language, targets, and dependencies:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5 FATAL_ERROR)

project(recipe-05 LANGUAGES CXX)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS OFF)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

add_library(example_library leaky_implementation.cpp)

add_executable(cpp_test test.cpp)
target_link_libraries(cpp_test example_library)

2. Then, we define not only the test, but also the MEMORYCHECK_COMMAND:

find_program(MEMORYCHECK_COMMAND NAMES valgrind)
set(MEMORYCHECK_COMMAND_OPTIONS "--trace-children=yes --leak-check=full")

# add memcheck test action
include(CTest)

enable_testing()

add_test(
  NAME cpp_test
  COMMAND $<TARGET_FILE:cpp_test>
  )

3. Running the test set reports that the test is passing, as follows:

$ ctest

Test project /home/user/cmake-recipes/chapter-04/recipe-05/cxx-example/build
    Start 1: cpp_test
1/1 Test #1: cpp_test ......................... Passed 0.00 sec

100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 1

Total Test time (real) = 0.00 sec

4. Now, we wish to check for memory defects, and can observe that the memory leak is detected:

$ ctest -T memcheck

   Site: myhost
   Build name: Linux-c++
Create new tag: 20171127-1717 - Experimental
Memory check project /home/user/cmake-recipes/chapter-04/recipe-05/cxx-example/build
    Start 1: cpp_test
1/1 MemCheck #1: cpp_test ......................... Passed 0.40 sec

100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 1

Total Test time (real) = 0.40 sec
-- Processing memory checking output:
1/1 MemCheck: #1: cpp_test ......................... Defects: 1
MemCheck log files can be found here: ( * corresponds to test number)
/home/user/cmake-recipes/chapter-04/recipe-05/cxx-example/build/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.*.log
Memory checking results:
Memory Leak - 1

5. As a final step, you should try to fix the memory leak and verify that ctest -T memcheck reports no errors.
