  • whereami

    Locate the current running executable and the current running module/library on the file system 🔎 (by gpakosz)

    • C++ only knows about the Current Working Directory and all file paths will be relative to that and not relative to the executable file (by the time your main() function is called the entire program has been loaded into memory). You need to use the OS API to get the location of the executable file. Luckily there are easy to use cross platform libraries for this such as whereami. Then you can specify the assets path relative to the executable file and it will work no matter where the program is run from as long as the directory structure is as you specify.
