  • CMake+Conan2 project template example repositories?
    4 projects | /r/cpp | 15 Apr 2023
    I had been using the project_options repository to bootstrap most of my CMake repositories, but it appears like this is not able to handle Conan2 (due to the usage cmake-conan, on a pre-2.0-compatible version of that repo).
  • The pool of talented C++ developers is running dry

    - flags like "-fsanitize=address,leak,undefined -fanalyzer -Wthread-safety -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=" should be baked in to a default "dev"/"debug" mode newbies shouldn't need to know/think about

    Did you try project_options[0]? I recommend it to all newbies like me. Just set the "enable_developer_mode=true" and you get all that stuff for free.

    > - I have to Google what headers cstd/std stuff comes from half the time

    In Clion you can cmd+click on the symbol and it leads to the header.
