  3. dbg-macro

    A dbg(…) macro for C++

    GitHub repo: sharkdp/dbg-macro

  4. CPM.cmake

    📦 CMake's missing package manager. A small CMake script for setup-free, cross-platform, reproducible dependency management.

    C++20 brings std::format, improving C++ developer experience for formatting strings. If you have to use older standards, though, add fmtlib to your repo. It plays well with CMake and you can use CPM to add fmtlib to your project. The library supports many Rust format macro features, and makes code far cleaner when you need to do string interpolation with variables.

  5. {fmt}

    A modern formatting library

    GitHub repo: fmtlib/fmt

  6. FTXUI

    Features: - Functional style. Inspired by [1] and React - Simple and elegant syntax (in my opinion). - Support for UTF8 and fullwidth chars (→ 测试). - No dependencies. - Cross platform. Linux/mac (main target), Windows (experimental thanks to contributors), - WebAssembly. - Keyboard & mouse navigation. Operating systems: - linux emscripten - linux gcc - linux clang - windows msvc - mac clang

    GitHub repo: ArthurSonzogni/FTXUI

  7. glog

    C++ implementation of the Google logging module

    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.

  8. plog

    Portable, simple and extensible C++ logging library

    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.

  9. spdlog

    Fast C++ logging library.

    GitHub repo: gabime/spdlog
