eigen VS glog

Is Eigen still alive? There's been no release in 3 years, and no news about it: https://gitlab.com/libeigen/eigen/-/issues/2699

I was curious about these libraries a few weeks ago and did some searching. Is there one that's got a clearly dominating set of users or contributors?

I don't know what a good way to compare these might be, other than perhaps activity/contributor count.

I am trying to include Eigen in my project via FetchContent. They define/assume-defined PROJECT_IS_TOP_LEVEL on line 19 and, among other locations, on line 607 in their top level list file.

Eigen is a header-only library, thus simply cloning it from the official repository into the FOGGDD folder should be enough.

math library because you should never implement a math library yourself, and you probably want somethign more focused on performance than STL. GLM may work if you just need basic vector support. Eigen may help for a more physics heavy game. But I'd probably find something in-between those two

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15) project(app) include(FetchContent) FetchContent_Declare(Eigen3 URL https://gitlab.com/libeigen/eigen/-/archive/3.4.0/eigen-3.4.0.tar.gz) FetchContent_MakeAvailable(Eigen3) add_executable(app main.cpp) target_link_libraries(app Eigen3::Eigen)

Today was very easy to do with Eigen

Alternatives are glog from Google is full-featured, like spdlog, while Plog offers a lightweight alternative. Both are worthy upgrades on using C++ built-in std::clog.

Technically: yes, it depends the GLOG library (https://github.com/google/glog) which gives you logging system and assertions, etc. (the same ones that are available in normal Chromium's //base)

I suggest you take a look at GLog (https://github.com/google/glog) - it's got a few more features above my stated minimum and the performance is good (as long as you avoid force-flushing).
