FunctionalPlus VS cmake-conan

Hoogle is really amazing!

Inspired by it, I implemented something similar for FunctionalPlus (a functional-programming library for C++): https://www.editgym.com/fplus-api-search/

I'd love to see more projects taking this path too. :)

You can get a feel for it on its api search site: as an example, enter these queries:

I use a library called FunctionalPlus daily.

As idiomatic, I will try to adopt as much as possible purely functional programming in C++ by using https://github.com/Dobiasd/FunctionalPlus . Do you have by any chance any alternative suggestion?

Any project CML file that is more complex than this is mismanaged and needs fixing asap. There is absolutely no reason to make CML files describing requirements of a library substantially more complex other than if you have a vendetta against yourself, package maintainers and your users.

FunctionalPlus - 30 lines for usage requirements + 60 for install rules: just simple commands creating a target, setting properties and defining install rules. Hmm, nothing unholy here.

Another option is to use a superbuild CML where you can do all the nasty, platform specific things. Example of a superbuild CML.

Some pure conan options, there's a 2.0 super early developer preview for https://github.com/conan-io/cmake-conan/tree/develop2

https://github.com/conan-io/cmake-conan/tree/develop2 might interest you :) we love feedback

I totally agree with you. Have a look at the new cmake-conan integration using Dependency Provider in the develop2 branch : https://github.com/conan-io/cmake-conan/tree/develop2

I've always used conan together with the conan cmake module

using conan from within cmake you can use this https://github.com/conan-io/cmake-conan, or just write your own execute process way of calling it . https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/execute_process.html

See https://github.com/conan-io/cmake-conan for a neat wrapper that I use in almost all my projects

I always wanted to try to use cmake-conan so I could let Conan grab all packages but have a neat cmake script being in charge of what gets built when. Also, this would allow me to easily switch between CMake fetchcontent and Conan packages that may or may not be stashed automatically on a local Artifactory server. Secondly, since now all build requirements are stashed on a server and binary reproducible, you could concider adding icecream and ccache into the mix. (Try running a node one of your buildservers for massive speadups with icecream) This however does require a reproducible build environment (by configure script) which conan again is really good in.
