FunctionalPlus VS Vcpkg

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.

5.4.5 can be compromised

vcpkg may expire assets after 1.5 years, so achieve long-term reproducibility you will need to cache your dependencies.... Somewhere. Not sure what the expected solution is.

There were various approaches recommended depending on our language and ecosystem. My classmates who developed using Node.js were recommended npm, and PyPI or poetry for Python. Since my program is written in C++, I was recommended to look into one of vcpkg or conan, but I ultimately did not use either package manager.

Which dependencies are not in vcpkg? We can ask them to add it. It’s pretty easy just open an issue there https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues .

The hyperscan update to vcpkg seems to have happened from 5.4.0 to 5.4.2 in this commit on Apr 20.

Dear Fictrac team, I am hoping to install Fictrac in our windows 11 x64 laptop (Visual Studio 2019, cMake 3.26.4). I followed the installation guideline on github page fictrac and used the latest vcpkg

This works fine if one wants to do stuff like clang main.cpp -lvulkan, or even find_package(Vulkan REQUIRED) in CMake, but it doesn't define VULKAN_SDK, and therefore doesn't work with vcpkg's Vulkan support, for instance. A fair bit of Vulkan development, tutorials, etc. assume that the entire SDK is installed, as-is.
