How to understand a c++ project

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/cpp_questions

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Sourcetrail

    Discontinued Sourcetrail - free and open-source interactive source explorer

    You could always try using Sourcetrail. Unfortunately the open source project is now archived but it should still help you get insights into your code.

  • FreeCAD

    This is the official source code of FreeCAD, a free and opensource multiplatform 3D parametric modeler.

    Well... consider, as an example, FreecCad. The project has a decent organisation, you can easily understand how every functionality or class works by looking at them and their relationship with other stuff, but if you want to read the main and understand everything from it... good luck. You can, but you will have to understand a lot secondary stuff before you start seeing what's actually happening.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
