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.
• Project Templates - Tutorial-style examples for common build tasks.
