Cmake Examples
This project is a collection of reference implementations and templates for CMake build patterns and configuration workflows. It provides standardized templates for managing C++ project structures, compiler flags, and dependency linking.
The repository includes a packaging guide for creating installation targets and platform-specific software installers. It also provides a testing suite that demonstrates the integration of unit testing and static analysis tools into the build process.
Additional reference configurations cover the execution of builds and tests within isolated, containerized environments. The project also demonstrates broader capabilities in C++ project structuring, build automation, and cross-platform distribution.
Features
- CMake Integrations - Provides a comprehensive set of reference implementations for CMake-based build automation and project configuration.
- Official Examples - Serves as a reference collection of implementations for common CMake build patterns and workflows.
- Build Configurations - Provides scripts that define project structure and compiler settings to generate platform-specific build files.
- Compilation Setting Configuration - Manages project standards and compiler flags to control the transformation of source code into binaries.
- Build System Templates - Ships standardized templates for managing C++ project structures, compiler flags, and dependencies.
- Build Toolchain Abstractions - Uses a high-level configuration language to map generic build instructions to specific compiler flags and system settings.
- Build Process Standardization - Defines standardized build, test, and packaging processes using templates to maintain consistency across environments.
- Testing Integration Examples - Demonstrates the integration of unit testing and static analysis tools directly into the CMake build process.
- Container Build Stages - Creates containers with specific build tool versions and dependencies to maintain a consistent execution environment.
- Containerized Build Environments - Packages specific build system versions and dependencies into containers for consistent execution across development machines.
- Build Environment Isolation - Implements containerized environments to isolate build tools and dependencies for consistent compilation and testing.
- Module-Based Dependency Managers - Defines explicit dependencies between build targets to control compilation order and link libraries and executables.
- External Library Linking - Configures linker flags and dependencies to connect static or shared libraries into a single executable.
- Project Structure Organization - Organizes the codebase into nested directory structures and independent sub-projects to manage complex library hierarchies.
- Project Structures - Implements standardized layouts for dividing large projects into separate folders and independent sub-projects.
- Software Testing - Integrates unit testing and static analysis into the build pipeline for early bug and leak detection.
- Containerized Compatibility Testing - Runs test scripts inside multiple container versions to verify build correctness across different operating system environments.
- Installer Packages - Demonstrates how to generate standalone platform-specific installers for binaries and source code.
- Packaging Guides - Provides a detailed guide on creating installation targets and platform-specific installers using CMake.
- Containerized Task Execution - Executes shell commands and tests within isolated container instances using non-root users and custom volume mounts.
- Cross-Platform Installers - Provides patterns for creating cross-platform installers that function across different operating systems.
- Installation Target Directives - Provides directives for collecting binaries and libraries and moving them to specific system paths for distribution.
- Static Analysis - Integrates memory leak and standard violation scanners directly into the build process to detect bugs during compilation.
- Unit Testing - Provides a framework for executing and verifying individual code units using external testing libraries.
- Modèles de projet - Tutorial-style examples for common build tasks.
